Program Memories Error Detection and Correction On-Board Earth Observation Satellites
نویسنده
چکیده
Memory Errors Detection and Correction aim to secure the transaction of data between the central processing unit of a satellite onboard computer and its local memory. In this paper, the application of a double-bit error detection and correction method is described and implemented in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology. The performance of the proposed EDAC method is measured and compared with two different EDAC devices, using the same FPGA technology. Statistical analysis of single-event upset (SEU) and multiple-bit upset (MBU) activity in commercial memories onboard the first Algerian microsatellite Alsat-1 is given. Keywords—Error Detection and Correction; On-board computer; small satellite missions.

Performance Comparison of Real Time EDAC Systems for Applications On-Board Small Satellites
On-board Error Detection and Correction (EDAC) devices aim to secure data transmitted between the central processing unit (CPU) of a satellite onboard computer and its local memory. This paper presents a comparison of the performance of four low complexity EDAC techniques for application in Random Access Memories (RAMs) on-board small satellites. The performance of a newly proposed EDAC archite...

\ Abstract: The demand to protect the sensitive and valuable data transmitted from satellites to ground has increased and hence the need to use security algorithm on board in Earth Observation satellites also increased. The security algorithm like Advanced Encryption Standard by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), which is a popular in the aerospace industry including satelli...
متن کاملScheduling a constellation of agile earth observation satellites with preemption
In this paper, we consider a scheduling problem for a set of agile Earth observation satellites for scanning different parts of the Earth’s surface. We assume that preemption is allowed to prevent repetitive images and develop four different preemption policies. Scheduling is done for the imaging time window and transmission time domain to the Earth stations as well. The value of each picture ...
متن کاملAutonomous Planning for an Agile Earth-Observing Satellite
Most of the currently active Earth-observing satellites are entirely controlled from the ground: observation plans are regularly computed on the ground, uploaded to the satellite using visibility windows and then, executed on-board as they stand. Because the possible presence of clouds is the main obstacle to optical observation, meteorological forecasts are taken into account when building the...
متن کاملCooperating On-board and on the Ground Decision Modules for the Management of an Earth Watching Constellation
In this paper, we show how an Earth watching mission, dedicated to the detection and the tracking of forest fires and volcanic eruptions, and involving a constellation of low-orbiting satellites, equipped with detection and observation instruments, can be reactively and efficiently managed via the cooperation of decision modules implemented on the ground in a mission control center and onboard ...
