A High-Performance Computing Module for a Low Earth Orbit Satellite Using Reconfigurable Logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
A high performance computing module, containing a combination of DSP processor, FPGA, memory and interface circuits will be used to enhance the performance of a lowearth orbit satellite, FedSat-1, which will be operational in 2001. The high performance computer will provide additional hardware redundancy, on-board data processing, data filtering and data compression for scientific data, as well as allowing experiments in dynamic reconfigurability of satellite computing hardware in space.

متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of the High-altitude Launch Technique to Orbit Using Atmospheric Properties
The purpose of this paper is to perform the feasibility and performance evaluation of the High-altitude launch technique using high altitude atmospheric Properties to near earth orbits. The current propulsion transportation system from Earth to space has been deemed by many to be expensive, unreliable, and an unnecessarily dangerous means of travel to space. It is suggested in this paper to ana...
متن کاملEffects of Some Parameters on Thermal Control of a LEO Satellite
Satellite thermal control ensures safe operating temperature ranges for satellite components throughout the mission life. Effects of altitude, spin, and position of satellite radiator(s) on the thermal control of a small Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite have been studied. Results show that change in satellite altitude, in the range considered here, does not produce critical thermal conditions. H...

متن کاملDetermination of the best-fitting reference orbit for a LEO satellite using the Lagrange coefficients
Linearization of the nonlinear equations and iterative solution is the most well-known scheme in many engineering problems. For geodetic applications of the LEO satellites, e.g. the Earth’s gravity field recovery, one needs to provide an initial guess of the satellite location or the so-called reference orbit. Numerical integration can be utilized for generating the reference orbit if a satelli...
