Data Storage Overview • Required amount of data storage • Downlink rate • Chosen storage medium • A word about the receiver memory • Summary
Data Storage Required amount of data storage • The emitter is the only satellite with contact to the Kiruna ground station • As such it should be possible to store all scientific data on the emitter • First thing to do is to find how much data has to be stored: • What is the longest period without contact to the ground station?
Data Storage Required amount of data storage - continued • The total bit rate of all 5 receiver instruments is • 8.13 Mbit/s • This yields a required storage volume of • 244 Gbit
Data Storage Can the data be sent to earth • Every 13 or more orbits a long period without contact occurs. • During these orbit additional data is generated. • The resulting downlink rate is 111 Mbit/s • The available rate is 150 Mbit/s
Data Storage Storage medium • 64 Gbit flash nand memory module • Weighs 6.10 grams • 20.40 mm x 13.84 mm x 12.13 mm • Uses ~ 1 Watt of power • Space qualified • 98% survival chance after 5 years
Data Storage Storage medium - continued • 244 Gbit / 64 Gbit => 4 modules • Extra module added for redundancy • In total: • ~ 5 Watt of power • 30.5 grams • At least 102 x 69.2 x 60.7 mm
Data Storage Receiver satellite memory • All science data is to be stored on the emitter • Memory is still required for housekeeping data • and scientific data in an emergency • Each receiver satellite has a 64 Gbit flash nand memory • (Can allow it to store of up to 7 hours of data)
Data Storage Summary • The emitter has 5 x 64 Gbit modules 320 Gbit available, where 244 Gbit is necessary • A receiver has 1 x 64 Gbit module • Communications and data storage combined:
