MATERIAL/DESCRIPTION
QUANTITY - 8
14033: TTE-End System Space 3U cPCI (EDU) enables a connection of a data processing hardware (CPUs, FPGAs, MCUs) to a TTEthernet network. This Engineering Development Unit for ground functional testing is equipped with a commercial cPCI connector for usage in off-the-shelf 3U cPCI chassis.

QUANTITY -8
13866:TTE-RearIO 3U cPCI (EDU) provides physical interfaces of connected end system or switch cards via the RearIO backplane pins. This allows to use the cards with a commercial chassis and to connect other devices directly by using standard cables.

TTTech North America is the contracted provider of the flight network equipment for the multiple modules of the Gateway Spacecraft. They are the sole producer of this specialized Time Triggered Ethernet technology, and they do not provide their products through any authorized resellers. Use of any other technology would not be compatible with the Gateway flight systems and would not allow the Gateway software development teams to develop, integrate, verify, or test critical software components for the Gateway flight system.
