Payload Data Analyzer and Payload Data Generator System for Space Station Integration and Test

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 27-30, 1997 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / To support the processing of International Space Station (ISS) Payloads, the Kennedy
Space Center (KSC) had the need to develop specialized test and validation equipment to
quickly identify interface problems between the payload or experiment under test and the
communication and telemetry downlink systems. To meet this need, the Payload Data
Analyzer (PDA) System was developed by the Data Systems Technology Division
(DSTD) of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) to provide a suite of
troubleshooting tools and data snapshot features allowing for diagnosis and validation of
payload interfaces. The PDA System, in conjunction with the Payload Data Generator
(PDG) System, allow for a full set of programmable payload validation tools which can
quickly be deployed to solve crucial interface problems. This paper describes the
architecture and tools built in the PDA which help facilitate Space Station Payload
Processing.
