Seen here integrated with the rest of the payload for system tests, Hylas-1's Generic Flexible Payload (GFP) consists of densely integrated and interconnected state-of-the-art electronic devices, creating an unprecedented level of system flexibility.
GFP technology aims to change the way future telecom satellites are made. Mass-produced on a modular basis, it could slot within a wide array of future missions in place of custom-built payload systems, reducing costs and development times.
