Electrical Ground Support Equipment
TensorEGSE is a compact, all-in-one electrical ground support equipment (EGSE) system designed for easy integration with Tensor Tech’s satellite products, including ADCS main control board, CMG, and FSS units. With a built-in power supply, UART/RS485 communication interfaces, and intuitive connection user interface, TensorEGSE allows users to quickly set up, monitor, and control their ADCS hardware. It supports both LAN and direct computer connections and enables rapid development and debugging right out of the box. Whether you’re running functional tests or updating firmware, TensorEGSE simplifies your workflow and minimizes setup time — so you can focus on what matters: mission success.
Product Features
Tailored for flight software developers and AIT engineers.
Enables rapid deployment through plug-and-play integration with TensorADCS, TensorCMG, and TensorFSS.
Features a comprehensive command-line interface for testing and upgrading connected components.
Provides power supply, monitoring, and supervision for connected components.
Includes portable example code.
EGSE-UI is a terminal-based user interface built into TensorEGSE, offering precise control and real-time monitoring for all connected subsystems. Developers can view power metrics, send custom commands, and operate target devices like ADCS, CMG, and FSS via built-in CLI tools. The interface is keyboard- and mouse-friendly, and it supports convenient logging, firmware updates, and voltage/current safety checks. Designed to accelerate development cycles, EGSE-UI provides practical examples and easy-to-follow command structures — making it an essential tool for testing and validating your satellite hardware.

EGSE?
Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) is essential in satellite development, enabling manufacturers and integrators to validate electrical functions on the ground before launch by simulating missing subsystem interfaces to ensure full compatibility.
COMPONENTS
ADCS-10m
TensorADCS-10m is an integrated ADCS with a variable speed control moment gyroscope (CMG) which is suitable for satellites up to roughly 3U. This module can be installed within the tuna can or the satellite structure.
