Our aim is to validate mission-specific components of spacecraft flight software designs that are specified using state-charts and translated automatically to the final flight code for the mission. We established an automatic translation tool set from state-charts to the input language of SPIN for the validation of such mission-specific components. To guarantee compliance with auto-generated flight...
The Xilinx Virtex-5QV FPGA is a new radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) part that is targeted as the spaceborne processor for the Decadal Survey Aerosol-Cloud-Ecosystem (ACE) mission's Multiangle SpectroPolarimetric Imager (MSPI) instrument12. A key technology development needed for MSPI is on-board processing (OBP) to calculate polarimetry data as imaged by each of the 9 cameras forming the instrument...
JPL is currently developing the multi-angle spectro-polarimetric imager (MSPI), targeted for the Aerosol-Cloud-Ecosystems (ACE) mission, as defined in the National Academies 2007 Decadal Survey. In preparation for the space instrument, the MSPI team has built two incremental camera systems (Ground- and Air-MSPI) to improve understanding of the proposed architecture. Ground-MSPI is a gimballed instrument...
Future NASA missions will require measurements from high data rate instruments. Recent internal studies at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) estimate approximately 1-5 Terabytes per day of raw data (uncompressed) are expected. Implementations of on-board processing algorithms to perform lossless data reduction are required to drastically reduce data volumes to within the downlink capabilities...
The multi-angle spectro-polarimetric imager (MSPI) is an advanced camera system under development at JPL for possible future consideration on a satellite based Aerosol-Cloud-Environment (ACE) mission as defined in the National Academies 2007 Decadal Survey. The MSPI project consists of three phases: Ground-MSPI, Air-MSPI, and Space-MSPI. Ground-MSPI is a ground-based demonstration focused on characterizing...
The Earth Sciences Decadal Survey identifies a multiangle, multispectral, high-accuracy polarization imager as one requirement for the Aerosol-Cloud-Ecosystem (ACE) mission. JPL has been developing a Multiangle SpectroPolarimetric Imager (MSPI) as a candidate to fill this need. A key technology development needed for MSPI is on-board signal processing to calculate polarimetry data as imaged by each...
