International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 28-31, 1996 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / Satellite Control Systems require a front-end component which performs real-time
telemetry acquisition and command output. This paper will describe a fully networked,
PC-based telemetry and command front-end which supports multiple streams and is based
on Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) technology.
The front-end system is a gateway that accepts multiple telemetry streams and outputs
time-tagged frame or packet data over a network to workstations in a distributed satellite
control and analysis system. The system also includes a command gateway that accepts
input from a command processor and outputs serial commands to the uplink. The front-end
can be controlled locally or remotely via the network using Simple Network
Management Protocol. Key elements of the front-end system are the Avtec
MONARCH-E™ PCI-based CCSDS/TDM Telemetry Processor/Simulator board, a
network-based, distributed computing architecture, and the Windows NT operating
system.
The PC-based telemetry and command gateway is useful throughout the lifecycle of a
satellite system. During development, integration, and test, the front-end system can be
used as a test tool in a distributed test environment. During operations, the system is
installed at remote ground stations, with network links back to operations center(s) for
telemetry and command processing and analysis.
