Description
Reliable Computing Platfonns for Spacecraft, Phase Two
James E. Lumpp, Jr.
ABSTRACT
This document proposes to continue and extend collaboration between researchers at the
University of Kentucky, Honeywell Defense and Space Electronic Systems, and The
New Millennium Program at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to develop hardware and
software architectures for spacecraft computers. As part of the collaboration, we are
evaluating techniques that are being created at UK for application in the development of
the EAFTC Honeywell Architecture as part of the New Millennium Program at NASA's
Jet Propulsion Laboratory. This proposal outlines the problem of providing general
purpose computing infrastructure in spacecraft, describes a plan for collaboration
between Honeywell, JPL and UK to provide solutions, and notes current progress in the
research. It is intended that this collaboration will yield results that will be tested and
flown in the NMP Space Technology (ST8) Mission satellite scheduled to launch in 2008
and it is hoped that the concepts can evolve to become an architectural standard for future
spacecraft.
