Cost effective data system design approach for EOS AM-1
Abstract
The question of how to design a cost-effective data system for a space-based application with a high aggregate data rate is addressed. The steps used by the EOS AM-1 design team are defined. A summary of the design as of January 1993 is outlined. The AM-1 Science Data system is comprised of one subsystem that ingests, formats, and routes data - the Science Formatting Equipment (SFE), and another that records the data. Key interfaces are the interfaces to the high rate science instruments, the real-time transmitters, and the internal interface between the SFR and the Solid State Recorder. A cost-effective design approach for the AM-1 data system must take into account impacts on ground systems, data processing facilities, availability of data for real-time users, and future spacecraft designs.
