Mr Torbjorn Hult (RUAG Space)22/10/2013, 12:00SAVOIR (22 October AM)The SAVOIR architecture includes a number of preferred data buses, point-to-point lines and discrete signals. These links are used to interconnect spacecraft platform equipment, such as OBC and RTU, with platform sensors and actuators and also used to connect the spacecraft payload to the spacecraft platform. However, the usage of each link is not defined in detail and some links are better...Go to contribution page

Mr Nuno Silva (Critical Software)22/10/2013, 12:30SAVOIR (22 October AM)On-board computers (OBC) for space applications pose a major challenge for the industry due to their small production and limited in-service historical data (both for hardware and software). Thus, dependability statistical data, that can influence the specification, design and validation of OBCs, is quite limited. This study, initiated in the frame of ESA harmonization policy, represents the...Go to contribution page
