Abstract
OHB System AG is one of the leading independent forces in European space, since 35 years particularly in the core business comprising low-orbiting and geostationary satellites. OHB System is developing and executing some of the key projects of our times such as the Galileo navigation satellites, the SARah reconnaissance system, the MTG meteorological satellites, the EnMAP environment satellite, the TET-1 technology testing vehicle and the HispaSat, ELECTRA and EDRS-C telecommunications satellites.
In manned space flight, OHB has been materially involved in assembling and equipping the Columbus research
laboratory fitted to the ISS and the ATV space freighter as well as numerous experiment systems used on board the ISS. For what concern exploration activities between different studies OHB System is working intensively on ESA’s two-part flagship mission ExoMars.
The Current Programs are in the area of Human Spaceflight, Earth Observation, Exploration / Science, Communication, Navigation and Security.
This presentation aims to show OHB Project portfolio and the Influence of RHA on the different Projects/Mission types and phases, from predevelopment to manufacturing.
The presentation also describes the RHA approach for the different product levels and provides results of the RHA implementation e.g. verification methods and test needs.
