Book Design and Implementation of a Telemetry System for Microsatellite Operations

Download or read book Design and Implementation of a Telemetry System for Microsatellite Operations written by Xiaozheng Xu and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small satellites generate lots of telemetry data on orbit. These telemetry data are important for monitoring the health of spacecraft, validating design, and planning operations. As more small satellites are being launched into space, an integrated telemetry system is needed to store, access, and display telemetry data. This thesis presents the author's work in designing and implementing such a system. This telemetry system greatly facilitates checking telemetry data and provides a platform on which automated telemetry monitoring and autonomous operations can be implemented. First, a PostgreSQL database and a back-end interface are described, followed by the front-end components which include a graphical user interface and a visualization tool with Grafana. Then, tools that insert data into the database are presented along with performance benchmarking. Finally, use cases of the telemetry system are presented, including but not limited to telemetry monitoring and telemetry analysis.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spacecraft is composed of multiple subsystems that work together to accomplish the mission objectives. One of the most vital subsystems is termed the "brain" of the spacecraft, more formally known as the command and data handling subsystem, which is responsible for commanding all other subsystems and managing all data sent and received by the spacecraft. This thesis describes the author's contributions to the various aspects of the command and data handling subsystem for two microsatellite missions, with focus on work that can be extended for use and implemented on future space missions at the Space Flight Laboratory. Particular emphasis is given to the author's work on design of a new serial interface board, optimization of both ground and satellite software related to payload data handling, and development of various application threads on satellite on-board computers and ground control interfaces.

Book Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control

Download or read book Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control written by J.R. Wertz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger D. Werking Head, Attitude Determination and Control Section National Aeronautics and Space Administration/ Goddard Space Flight Center Extensiye work has been done for many years in the areas of attitude determination, attitude prediction, and attitude control. During this time, it has been difficult to obtain reference material that provided a comprehensive overview of attitude support activities. This lack of reference material has made it difficult for those not intimately involved in attitude functions to become acquainted with the ideas and activities which are essential to understanding the various aspects of spacecraft attitude support. As a result, I felt the need for a document which could be used by a variety of persons to obtain an understanding of the work which has been done in support of spacecraft attitude objectives. It is believed that this book, prepared by the Computer Sciences Corporation under the able direction of Dr. James Wertz, provides this type of reference. This book can serve as a reference for individuals involved in mission planning, attitude determination, and attitude dynamics; an introductory textbook for stu dents and professionals starting in this field; an information source for experimen ters or others involved in spacecraft-related work who need information on spacecraft orientation and how it is determined, but who have neither the time nor the resources to pursue the varied literature on this subject; and a tool for encouraging those who could expand this discipline to do so, because much remains to be done to satisfy future needs.

Book The Role of Small Satellites in NASA and NOAA Earth Observation Programs

Download or read book The Role of Small Satellites in NASA and NOAA Earth Observation Programs written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-05-12 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remote observations of Earth from space serve an extraordinarily broad range of purposes, resulting in extraordinary demands on those at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and elsewhere who must decide how to execute them. In research, Earth observations promise large volumes of data to a variety of disciplines with differing needs for measurement type, simultaneity, continuity, and long-term instrument stability. Operational needs, such as weather forecasting, add a distinct set of requirements for continual and highly reliable monitoring of global conditions. The Role of Small Satellites in NASA and NOAA Earth Observation Programs confronts these diverse requirements and assesses how they might be met by small satellites. In the past, the preferred architecture for most NASA and NOAA missions was a single large spacecraft platform containing a sophisticated suite of instruments. But the recognition in other areas of space research that cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and robustness may be enhanced by using small spacecraft has raised questions about this philosophy of Earth observation. For example, NASA has already abandoned its original plan for a follow-on series of major platforms in its Earth Observing System. This study finds that small spacecraft can play an important role in Earth observation programs, providing to this field some of the expected benefits that are normally associated with such programs, such as rapid development and lower individual mission cost. It also identifies some of the programmatic and technical challenges associated with a mission composed of small spacecraft, as well as reasons why more traditional, larger platforms might still be preferred. The reasonable conclusion is that a systems-level examination is required to determine the optimum architecture for a given scientific and/or operational objective. The implied new challenge is for NASA and NOAA to find intra- and interagency planning mechanisms that can achieve the most appropriate and cost-effective balance among their various requirements.
