  2. Content • Introduction • Market Needs and Supplier Capabilities - a never ending conflict..... • Existing solutions • Gammabus Avionics Improvement

  3. Introduction • Avionics Division Heritage and Mission • experience in avionics since 1970's (as MBB) • used to work in close interaction with S/C system engineering • capabilities for avionics applications • AOCS and data handling for • commercial telecommunication (Spacebus-Platform) • constellation (Globalstar) • science missions (SPAS/Artemis/CHAMP/GRACE) • specialization on commercial telecommunication satellites • optimized for low recurring production cost at high flexibility and reliability • design to cost • design for production • spin off to one-off type of equipment

  4. Market Needs and Supplier Capabilities..... • Market demands on Spacecraft computers: • Long heritage • high reliability • low price • fast, long term availablity • high flexibility • high mainainability • robustness • high performance • low budgets • lead to a......

  5. Market Needs and Supplier Capabilities..... ...... lead to a „C4“ architecture: But there a some realistic measures to merge those contradictorily demands!

  6. Market Needs and Supplier Capabilities..... • Improvement capabilities: • Standardization of building blocks (heritage, maintainability, robustness) • internal and external interfaces • modular design • Reduction of components (reliability, cost, lead time, budget, availability) • higher integration • restrictive selection • Implementation of redundancy (reliability, robustness, maintainability) • increased cross coupling • cascaded levels of redundancy • Design to manufacture and test

  10. Architectural Key Features • Single point failure free architecture • Fully redundant design • Internal cross coupling by redundant backplane bus • Free combination of all modules • Independent power supplies • Direct cross coupling of most external interfaces possible • Fault Detection, Isolation and Recovery Mechanisms (FDIR) • Failure History and Safeguard Storage for fast system restart

  11. Reconfiguration Capabilities • Surveillance of system parameters (e.g. filtering, masking) • Undervoltages • Sun Presence/Earth Presence alarms • Thruster-On-Time surveillance • Battery Charge • Processor health (Watchdog) • Ground configurable, autonomous processing of alarms • Execution and control of reconfiguration sequences • Additional High Priority Command Interface • Build In Test supporting RM tests through PM

  12. Operability • Ground controlled or autonomous redundancy switching • Reprogramming during flight • RAM/EEPROM contents • Reconfiguration parameter (masks and filter constants, redundancy switching) • External Terminal Interface for HW/SW Test and Debugging • Build In Test of kernel modules • Parallel PM operations (Master/Slave) • Testmode for selftest of inactive RM • Autonomous failure detection and recovery mechanisms • continous Normal Mode operation in case of failures • no Safe Mode required during redundancy switching

  13. Gammabus Avionics Improvement Gammabus 32bit Onboard Computer

  14. Gammabus On-Board Computer (OBC)

  15. Gammabus OBC Improvements • Standardization of building blocks (heritage, maintainability, robustness) • Frequent use of international standards (UART/HDLC/1355/1553) or • simple analog/digital Inputs/outputs • reduction of customized, failure-sensitive designs • modular design with internal standard interfaces (mechanical/electrical/architectural)

  16. Gammabus OBC Improvements • Reduction of components (reliability, cost, lead time, budget, availability) • higher integration by increased usage of ASICs and FPGA • selection of designs wrt. Component reduction (type and amount), long-term availability • Multiple-usage of Multi-purpose ASIC (ParallelSerialInterfaceEngine) • strategic mixture between new and „traditional“ technologies

  17. Gammabus OBC Improvements • Implementation of redundancy (reliability, robustness, maintainability) • increased cross coupling by higher modularity, separated building blocks, cold or hot partial redundancy • Implentation of „hidden“ redundancy resources, e.g. second data path, internal spare functions (e.g. RAM sections, redundant modes) • cascaded levels of redundancy under software control for partial failure isolation and recovery

  18. Gammabus OBC Improvements • Design to manufacture and test • Standard designs for standard manufacturing processes • common test approach (e.g. JTAG, standard blocks), reduced coupling of functions
