SINPLEX is a sensor suite for spacecraft navigation purposes. This paper addresses the current status of the SINPLEX prototype and the systems engineering process that has led to this status. The SINPLEX prototype is currently being integrated with the aim to demonstrate Technology Readiness Level 4, i.e. a component and/or breadboard validation in laboratory environment. The ultimate goal is to reach series production of an integrated instrument sensor suite capable of navigating a spacecraft in the solar system for exploration and science missions, and for satellite servicing and related markets. The SINPLEX project is supported by the European Community Framework Programme FP7 Space.
