Description

Supply and installation of equipment and improvement aimed at treating the obsolescence of Payload Container number 3 (CCU3). The CCU3 (Payload Container number 3) is used to transfer payloads between the various EPCU (Payload Preparation Facility) sites (S1/S3B/S5) and/or the Final Assembly Building (BAF), carried out under the responsibility of CNES/CSG for the benefit of the launch operator and its customers. The CCU3 requires life-cycle support work to maintain its operational condition as well as significant improvements to optimise operating times. The objectives are to: • Increase the flight time required to control the CCU3's coupling and uncoupling operations; • Improve the CCU3's interfaces and treat obsolescences; • Improve reliability in the event of anomalies; • ENSURE SUPERVISION AND MONITORING VIA ST²: Improved real-time supervision during transfer operations and when the CCU3 is coupled to the different EPCU buildings
