A Satellite Data Model for the AFRL Responsive Space Initiative
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Air Force Research Laboratory’s Responsive Space Testbed initiative is focused on the rapid deployment of tactical satellites. To support this goal we have developed the Satellite Data Model (SDM). Critical to the success of the Satellite Data Model are the autoconfiguration abilities of the SDM. The SDM system allows devices and applications can be developed independently of each other. When the need of a satellite is conceived, components appropriate to that need are selected and added into the system. The SDM then manages the necessary initialization and discovery so that the components can work correctly in concert to form a functioning satellite.

متن کاملNanosatellite Distributed Satellite Capabilities to Support TechSat 21
A new way to perform space missions utilizes the concept of clusters of satellites that cooperate to perform the function of a larger, single satellite. Each smaller satellite communicates with the others and shares the processing, communications, and payload or mission functions. The required functionality is thus spread across the satellites in the cluster, the aggregate forming a "virtual sa...

One of the main factors for satellite design is simulating of total ionizing dose due to space ionizing rays in devices used in space. By measurement of induced dose based on available data in different altitudes, expenses of designing, satellite weight and amount of needed fuel will be reduced. Optimum design of satellite for protecting satellite against ionizing radiation has considerable eff...
متن کاملTactical Satellite 3: Requirements Development for Responsive Space Missions
The Department of Defense is embarking on a broad initiative to make its space programs more responsive. There are many different views of responsive space, but common tenets include no cost and schedule growth within space programs, and space capabilities delivered directly to the operational and tactical warfighter within a theater of war. The Tactical Satellite 3 (TacSat-3) mission success c...
