System requirements and architecture for a space station user end-to-end data system
Abstract
The design of the end-to-end data system to be employed by the ESA Columbus module of the projected NASA Space Station is presently addressed from the viewpoint of user requirements; these extend to the demand anticipated from a projected user community, the means to its accommodation, and the technology that appears most usefully applicable to the meeting of the demand. Attention is also given to the concept of 'Telescience', which would allow scientists on earth to have desk-top access in an interactive/real time environment to mission planning, operations, sensor images, and voice and data, from the Columbus/Space Station system.
