A Beacon Monitoring System for Automai Management Operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stanford's Space Systems Development Laboratory (SSDL) has initiated a new space system technology initiative in order to develop, demonstrate, and validate a beacon monitoring system for spacecraft. This system consists of automated fault detection on board a spacecraft, a state of health beacon signal broadcast by the spacecraft, a ground based monitoring network, and a mission control center capable of efficiently integrating this health assessment strategy into its operating architecture. SSDL is investigating this technique by identifying fundamental design drivers, developing a system responsive to these drivers, and deploying the resulting system on microspacecraft and within SSDL's developing, global, automated space operations network. This paper reviews the beacon monitoring concept, describes the design criteria for such an operations strategy, and presents the current development of the SSDL beacon system.

متن کاملBeacon Monitor Operations on the Deep Space One Mission
A new approach to mission operations will be flight validated on NASA’s New Millennium Program Deep Space One (DS1) mission scheduled to launch in October of 1998. The beacon monitor technology is an operational concept for reducing deep space mission operations cost and decreasing the loading on ground antennas. The technology is required for upcoming NASA missions to Pluto and Europa. With be...
متن کاملAutomated Health Operations for the Sapphire Spacecraft
Stanford's Space Systems Development Laboratory is developing methods for automated spacecraft health operations. Such operations greatly reduce the need for ground-space communication links and full-time operators. However, new questions emerge about how to supply operators with the spacecraft information that is no longer available. One solution is to introduce a low-bandwidth health beacon a...
متن کاملTypical Ka band Satellite Beacon Receiver Design for Propagation Experimentation
This paper presents the design and simulation of a typical Ka band satellite beacon receiver for propagation experimentation. Using satellite beacon signal as a reference signal in satellite wave propagation study, is one of the most important methods. Satellite beacons are frequently available for pointing large antennas, but such signals can be used for measuring the effect of natural phenome...
متن کاملReal-time Monitoring of Ready-Mixed Concrete Delivery with an Integrated Navigation System
The escalating scale and growing complexity of ready-mixed concrete (RMC) delivery operations have challenged current methods for monitoring RMC delivery and dispatching truckmixers by two-way radio voice-based communication and experience-driven management. This paper describes an integrated navigation system, based on Global Positioning System (GPS)/Dead Reckoning (DR)/Bluetooth Beacon (BB) a...
