A Payload SCOE or Instrument SCOE is used to test, qualify and validate the electrical functionalities of on-board equipment (e.g. on board computer, PCDU etc.) prior its integration on a spacecraft.
It provides power, control and monitoring capabilities for the on-board equipment from the early stage of development (during R&D phases) up to launch of the spacecraft.
