Self-configuring Network for Launch Vehicle and Satellite Avionics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Under an Air Force Phase II SBIR contract, Microcosm is developing a self-configuring avionics network, scheduled for test on a sounding rocket in late 2003 or early 2004. This system is extendable to spacecraft avionics and housekeeping functions, enabling true plug-and-play capability.

متن کاملA Self-Configuring Distributed Kernel for Satellite Networks
The Space Software Laboratory is developing a self-configuring distributed kernel to be used on future satellite missions. The completion of this system will allow a network of heterogeneous processor nodes to communicate and broadcast in a scalable, self-configuring manner. Node applications software will be transparent to the underlying network architecture, message routing, and number of net...
متن کاملA Bayesian Networks Approach to Reliability Analysis of a Launch Vehicle Liquid Propellant Engine
This paper presents an extension of Bayesian networks (BN) applied to reliability analysis of an open gas generator cycle Liquid propellant engine (OGLE) of launch vehicles. There are several methods for system reliability analysis such as RBD, FTA, FMEA, Markov Chains, and etc. But for complex systems such as LV, they are not all efficiently applicable due to failure dependencies between compo...
