The "SPACE USB" joint project aims to develop standardized multifunctional interconnects for future orbital space missions. These interconnects can be utilized to build subsystems for sustainable, complex structures in orbit. The main objective is to formalize and demonstrate a universal, robust, and unambiguous multifunctional interconnect standard, inspired by the existing USB (Universal Serial Bus). The EU-funded "SPACE USB" project examines the functionality and practicality of the demonstrated connection protocols.
