Spacecraft data management hardware state-of-the-art
Abstract
During recent years digital hardware devices employed for data management operations in satellites have changed from single data processor units in stand-alone functions to multiple processor configurations of interrelated applications. It is pointed out that the explosion in spacecraft subsystems interdependencies has produced an order of magnitude increase in complexity which in turn has a major impact on data management hardware technology. Attention is given to typical requirements provided by most spacecraft data management subsystems, data management control units, candidate flight computers/microprocessors, data management architectures, and future trends in data management technology.
