The Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) is a 5 sensor experiment which is being carried on board by the Rosetta mission to study the plasma environment of the comet Wirtanen in 2012. At the centre of the five sensors is the Plasma Interface Unit (PIU) which provides the common central processing and power condition for the five instruments as well as the only interface to the spacecraft subsystem. However the PIU have supplied more than hardware to the consortium - it has also been responsible for the organisational centre for the design, integration and testing of the RPC package and in future will be the centre focus for its operations. We describe how the main elements of the PIU fulfill the diverse functional and operational requirements of the sensors on the one hand, and the spacecraft interface on the other hand. Such packages, supporting diverse, multi-sensor scientific instruments are considered necessary for many future space missions. We will conclude with a brief discussion of expected benefits and implications for the development, test and operational aspects of future scientific payloads.
