  • Abstract
    TESAT presents an update of the achieved reliability of its TWTAs and MPMs in orbit with data up to the end of the year 2014. Various breakdowns such as SINGLE vs. DUAL units or TWTAs vs. MPMs are presented and discussed. A comparison with the standard reliability analysis based on parts count/stress indicates significantly better reliability in orbit.
