Space and satellite systems are considered to be the most extreme environment to design for and are fraught with engineering difficulty. Performance metrics such as fault tolerance, reliability, pre-determinism and heritage are still high of the list of requirements for all missions. But with the advent of modern day electronics, greater computing capability and networking technologies have enabled...
The next generation of satellites for distributed satellite missions will exploit the latest computing and wireless technologies for intersatellite connectivity. These missions enable opportunities in multiple-point sensing, greater communications capabilities and spacecraft redundancy. Requirements for processing and network capabilities have risen dramatically to meet strict needs of the end user...
Future spacecraft are envisioned as autonomous, miniature, intelligent and massively distributed systems. At the Surrey Space Centre, a research project is currently under investigation, which aims to develop a picosatellite sensor network using the CubeSat platform. The proposed satellite sensor network will be used to demonstrate technology advances in space, including modified IEEE 802.11 wireless...
This paper presents the results of a research project, which aims to develop enabling technologies for future distributed space architectures based on flexible, reconfigurable, evolvable, and intelligent multi-spacecraft sensing networks. One important goal of the project is to propose a distributed computing platform over wireless inter-satellite links. The paper discusses initial results on the...
This paper is concerned with application of standard wireless COTS protocols to space. Suitability of commercially available wireless sensor mote kits for communication inside and between satellites is investigated. Spacecraft applications of motes are being considered and a set of requirements are identified. Selected mote kits are tested under various scenarios complying with spacecraft testing...
