Data pipeline architecture and development for VELC onboard Space Solar Mission AdityaL1

A Data Abstraction Architecture for Mission Operations

Spacecraft generate huge amounts of data. For example, the International Space Station (ISS) has over 250,000 individually identified pieces of low-level telemetry and commands. Newer space vehicles and habitats will still generate incredible amounts of telemetry. People have difficulty interpreting large streams of numeric values because our brains are optimized for visual and symbolic reasoni...

Space Weathering Impact on Solar System Surfaces and Mission Science

Space weathering is the collection of physical processes acting to erode and chemically modify planetary surfaces directly exposed to space environments of planetary magnetospheres, the heliosphere, and the local interstellar environment of the solar system. Space weathering affects the physical and optical properties of the surfaces of planetary bodies, so understanding its specifics is critic...

The Space Weather and Ultraviolet Solar Variability (SWUSV) Microsatellite Mission

We present the ambitions of the SWUSV (Space Weather and Ultraviolet Solar Variability) Microsatellite Mission that encompasses three major scientific objectives: (1) Space Weather including the prediction and detection of major eruptions and coronal mass ejections (Lyman-Alpha and Herzberg continuum imaging); (2) solar forcing on the climate through radiation and their interactions with the lo...

Solar Orbiter Will Process Data Onboard Using Xilinx FPGAs

A simulation pipeline for the Planck mission

We describe an assembly of numerical tools to model the output data of the Planck satellite (Tauber 2004). These start with the generation of a CMB sky in a chosen cosmology, add in various foreground sources, convolve the sky signal with arbitrary, even non-symmetric and polarised beam patterns, derive the time ordered data streams measured by the detectors depending on the chosen satellite-sc...
