The Space Station Data System and the user
Abstract
Aspects of the Space Station Data System (SSDS) are discussed. Trends in data acquisition and cost as they reflect the demand on the SSDS from the user community are summarized, and the key data characteristics of the MDAC mission set are described. The functional requirements of a Space Station end-to-end data system are discussed, and some preliminary concepts and considerations for the system architecture and for user support are presented. A simplified model of this system is shown, and some key technology needs for it that will meet user needs at affordable costs are listed.
