SpaceFibre is a very high performance, high reliability and high availability network for spaceflight applications. Test equipment is necessary which can operate at many Gbit/s, and which can present the various layers of SpaceFibre is an intuitive manner to support equipment debugging and system integration. This paper will describe the latest test equipment designed by STAR-Dundee for SpaceFibre and how it can be used to accelerate development of next generation payload processing systems.

The SpaceFibre standard was published in May 2019 and it is being designed into systems in Europe, the USA and elsewhere in the World. This paper describes the latest advances in SpaceFibre technology for spaceflight applications including IP cores for chip designs and units for space application.
