A microprocessor-based computer developmental system for satellite application
Abstract
A description is presented of a microprocessor-based onboard computer system which is being investigated for Intelsat. It is expected that the microprocessor will be selected from standard 8-, 12-, or 16-bit devices. Attention is given to system requirements, the design and the functions of the onboard processor, the external serial bus facility, the equivalent processor, the development software, and questions of system verification. It is pointed out that the processor-based control units may be used in areas such as spacecraft telemetry and command, attitude control, interconnectivity matrices, and other possible signal processing and switching applications.
