Comments: SERVIS 2 spacecraft will enter service to test nine commercial off-the-shelf payloads in the attitude control, electricty production and computer systems. The experiments include a lithium ion battery and data management system using automobile technology, a fault-tolerant 64-bit computer, a remote terminal unit and a data compressor. SERVIS 2 also carries commercial GPS receivers for orbit and attitude determination, a magnetic bearing wheel and a satellite structure model containing electric modules to simulate next-generation systems. SERVIS 2 will expose the materials to the harsh environment of space to help establish a parts database, a parts evaluation guideline and an equipment design guideline to utilize the components on future space missions, according to the mission's website.
