One of the first aim of the SAVOIR initiative is the definition of an avionics reference architecture meeting the needs of the various mission domains. Generic Specifications for the two following building blocks have been produced: On-Board Computer ( OBC) and Remote Terminal Unit (RTU). The two specifications have passed a review process.
The presentation will recall the reference...

SAVOIR (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...

SAVOIR (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...

Over the last 10 years, the PUS standard has been widely used in Europe by many ECSS Agencies and
Industrial partners. A new version of that standard is currently being produced by ECSS, that takes into
account:
- the lessons learned from using the PUS, including the need for standardizing proven additional
services implemented in current missions and required for future missions;
-the...

Mr
Holger Zeltwanger
(CAN in Automation)
22/10/2013, 15:50
The CAN physical layer is very robust and the data link layer protocol guarantees a reliable data exchange. This is why CAN has been successful in many different application fields. The keynote speech provides an overview about the use of CAN in the past and today. It also gives an outlook into the future: CAN FD and partial networking are the keywords.

Standardization of on board command and control buses has achieved a good degree of maturity with the widespread adoption of MIL-STD-1553B and the increasing success of Spacewire. In this crowded space there is still room for other players in the sub-1Mbps range if we take into consideration some specific CAN bus characteristics that act as 'enablers' for some more modern architectures, where...

The modularity of the ECSS CAN standard based on CANOpen opens a wide range of possibilities in terms of HW/SW partitioning schemes in its implementation. The standard can be fully implemented in HW (i.e. CCIPC and RCCIPC), fully implemented in SW using existing CANOpen stacks or anything in between. This presentation and the associated demo will analyze different scenarios, with different...

CAN Bus in Space (22 October PM & 23 October AM)
The idea of the CAN bus is getting 30 years old in 2013. Within this time the CAN bus has not only established itself as the standard communication protocol in automotive networks but is also in use in aerospace or industrial applications. Although there are also other bus systems used in these areas, the CAN bus will still keep its strong market position for quite a while. With the CAN-FD...

CAN Bus in Space (22 October PM & 23 October AM)
The Controller Area Network (CAN) was initially created for automotive applications as a method for enabling robust serial communication. The CAN bus was identified by the European Space Agency (ESA) as a possible replacement for the On-Board Data Handling (OBDH) bus in the late '90s, with the SMART-1 satellite as the first successful example of its usage in an ESA mission. Although the OBDH...

Avionics Based on Ethernet Networks (23 October PM)
This lecture starts by presenting some reasons for deterministic networks in high-dependability application, where the mean-time-to-fail (MTTF) of a critical system service must be higher than the MTTF of any of the constituent components. The required notion of determinism is examined and it is shown that predictable timeliness and consistent order are the important characteristics of a...

Studies at NASA and ESA indicate that the only means of sustaining the environment at a safe level for space operations will be by active removal of currently existing mass in orbit. Targets selected for active removal should have a high mass (as these targets have the largest environmental impact in case of collision), a high collision probability (i.e. they should be in densely populated...
