| Abstract |
SERVIS is a Japanese technology demonstration program (2 missions) with the overall objective to utilize state-of-the-art COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) components and technology in space. SERVIS is being developed by Japan's institute of USEF (Unmanned Space Experiment Free Flyer) of Tokyo under a contract from NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization), and METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry).
As part of the SERVIS project, the COTS components are being subjected to various ground evaluation tests, including radiation tolerance tests. Those parts that survive the screening process, will be verified in the space environment on two SERVIS satellites. The ground evaluation results will be compared with their performance in space. It is expected that the use of space-validated COTS components will provide some guidelines and result in considerable cost reductions for future satellites.
