Detailed description of work to be done
The overall scope of this internship is to create a detailed test plan for the ESD testing of the Lunar Zebro rover. During this internship, there are certain tasks that involve (but are not limited to):
1) Familiarize with the Lunar Zebro project
2) Familiarize with space systems engineering and space testing procedures
3) Learn about the testing facilities and the limitations of them
4) Research into ESD testing and how the different materials in the Zebro will make this task more difficult.
5) Find the best test profile(s) for the Zebro.
6) Create a detailed test plan in accordance to ECSS-E-10-03A section 4.1.2 which shall:
- describe and sequence the test procedure
- state the objectives and the scope of the tests
- specify the test facilities
- govern the execution of all the tests
Next to the “Research into ESD testing”, the scope will be extended with:
1. Theoretical background / Physical phenomena
2. Research into ESD standards (ECSS but also EN-61000-4-5, MIL-STD461G, RTCA DO-160, Section 25)
3. Differences and similarities in verification and test procedures and test setups (based on #1)
4. Delivery of technical report / memorandum describing above and delivery of general test procedure (also applicable to other standards)
