The MACS-TSA applied in the ISO and SAX spacecraft projects

The place of the Test and Simulation Assembly for a Modular Attitude and Orbit Control Subsystem (MACS-TSA) in the development process of the ISO and SAX spacecraft is given, with emphasis on the simulation aspects. The MACS-TSA is used as checkout equipment during the integration of AOCS, hardware and software at subsystem level. The other...

Extending the prototype optical diagnostic instrument (PODI) for analyses of telescience and image processing

The Prototype Optical Diagnostic Instrument (PODI) has been extended for remote control and image processing. A new breadboard called TELEPODI (Teleoperated PODI) resulted in which telescience and image processing for microgee instrumentation can be studied. Software libraries which have been developed to allow for remote control using several...
