Abstract
The Common Physical and Control Interface (CPCI) is a standardised, open-source solution to enhance interoperability in In-Orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) operations. The absence of a universal interface in current space systems increases integration complexity, costs, and inefficiencies. CPCI leverages IEEE 802.3 Power over Ethernet (PoE) to enable simultaneous power and data exchange, providing a scalable and modular plug-and-play solution for future space missions.
