50. Almost bare metal: the UVIE lean flight SW OS for LEON-based processors

Mr Armin Luntzer (University of Vienna)

Software for On-Board Data Processing

Poster presentation

In the flight software projects carried out at the University of Vienna, we prefer to work as close to the hardware as possible. The faster pace of projects that we face, coupled with the need to adapt early to next-generation processing architectures, has led us to develop a light-weight operating system, which offers the possibilities that we need, without putting any unnecessary...

23. High performance on-board image processing using CANopen in EO satellites

On-Board Data Processing Systems and Architectures

Poster presentation

Earth observation (EO) has been and still is a very complex topic in the Space Engineering field. Yet there is a growing number of new requirements and needs for new EO nano and microsatellites, working either standalone or in synchronized constellations. Higher download data rates, improved image quality and enhanced onboard computing capabilities are only a few examples of the challenges to...

51. Machine Learning for Space Systems: Are We Ready?

Mr Albert Ramirez Perez (MathWorks)

Deep Learning in On-Board Systems

Poster presentation

Space missions are continuously increasing in complexity, especially as spacecraft explore unknown terrains and encounter unpredictable situations. This complexity is compounded by the extreme distances some spacecraft operate from Earth, which makes real-time ground control impractical. Higher levels of autonomy and greater on-board navigational precision are needed to solve these issues....

45. OPAZ: an advanced COTS based payload processing on High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite

Mr Antoine CERTAIN (Airbus defence and Space)

On-Board Data Processing Systems and Architectures

Poster presentation

OPAZ is a new generation of Earth observation system with an embedded optical payload designed to fly on Zephyr-S, the stratospheric UAV developed by Airbus Defence and Space. The OPAZ prototype has been used several times in operational context. First, tests flights of few hours on stratospheric balloons have been done. Then a long duration successful demonstration has been made with a flight...

72. Segmentation of Reduced Hyperspectral Image Data

Jakub Nalepa (KP Labs)

Data Reduction and Compression

Poster presentation

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved unprecedented success in a variety of pattern recognition tasks, including medical imaging, speech recognition, image colorization, and satellite imaging. An extremely rapid development of remote sensors made the acquisition of hyperspectral image data (HSI), with up to hundreds of spectral bands over a given spatial area, much more affordable....

53. When a CPU is not enough: hardware data compression for PLATO

Roland Ottensamer (University of Vienna), Dominik Loidolt

26/02/2019, 16:30

Data Reduction and Compression

Poster presentation

PLATO (Planetary Transits and Oscillations of Stars) is an ESA-M mission which is currently being built. Its scientific goal is the discovery of a large number of exoplanetary systems down to terrestrial planets by means of photometric transits. To do so, the spacecraft has 26 cameras to cover a large part of the sky, each one consisting of 4 CCDs with 4510x4510 pixels each. These are read at...

58. High-performance on-board computer and comms for cubesats

Dr Juan Ramos-Castro (IEEC-UPC)

On-Board Data Processing Systems and Architectures

Poster presentation

We present a new On-Board-Computer (OBC) for nanosats (cubesats and like) based on two redundant processing modules. A high-end FPGA SoC module connected to a Software Defined Radio module provides high computing capabilities and implementation of versatile communication protocols or flexible receivers as GNSS, Radiometry, etc. A second module with a microcontroller with flight heritage...
