Data Handling Unit 3 for Foton-M3 Mission
Abstract
The Data Handling Unit 3 (DHU3) is the third generation of an electronic subsystem that will fly on board the FOTON-M3 Russian capsule on September 2007. Previous versions of the same equipment have already flown on board Foton 12, M1 and M2. This version represents a big step forward with respect to the previous models in terms of flexibility, performances and services offered to the users. The DHU3 is the core component of the TeleSupport System that is composed of a flight equipment named Telescience Support Unit (TSU) and a complex ground infrastructure used to follow the mission during the 2- week orbital flight of the FOTON capsule. The paper provides a short background of the TeleSupport project and a detailed outline of the DHU3 and associated EGSE .
