Galileo Second Generation Satellites Batch1 Plasma Monitoring Units (PMU) Procurement

ring the entire mission and at Galileo orbits (MEO: 23222 km altitude). The Galileo PMU will measure the effects of charged particles (electrons and ions) with non-relativistic energies (0.01 to >30 keV) which do not penetrate deep into satellite materials but cause surface charging. The PMU Flight

models (FM) will have to be designed to cope with the Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) environment and with an operational lifetime of 15 years. The activity covers the following deliverables: 3x PMU FM and 2x PMU engineering models (EM). There is
