MIL-STD-1553 Data Bus Standard
MIL-STD-1533 Data Bus has a long service history of proven reliability in critical military avionics, which has paved the way for use in commercial airline and spaceflight applications.

The data bus is used on various satellite platforms as a robust communications protocol and interface. It connects satellite bus sub-systems and units (e.g., AOCS, TT&C, data handling, and power control), as well as payload in a redundant configuration.

ESCC-Qualified Cable Harnesses
EIS delivers MIL-STD-1533 harnesses with approved materials that operate reliably under extremely harsh environmental conditions typical for spaceflight applications. The dedicated staff at EIS works closely with customers to assist them throughout the entire manufacturing process.

Starting with the design phase and prototypes to product integration and quality management, ensuring performance in the specific application.

Based on a standard configuration developed by EIS, materials and parts such as cables, plotting compounds, shielding, and connectors can be customised to meet customer requirements around durability, weight, and cost.
