Objectives

ADRAMO Rider 1 is a ‘holding project’ for a series of SCOS 2000 telemetry performance improvement activities. It includes performance studies, generic packetiser and packet display extensions and the cache replacement by a new Client Packet Distributor (CPD). First performance studies show, that a packet rate improvement of 500% is possible.

This has great significance for constellation control, where one Mission Control System serves several satellites (e.g. telecommunication satellites).

Challenges

  • A second packetiser for not time critical functions, new filter functions.
  • A new Client packet Distributor will replace the exiting Cache.
  • Performance tuning for Telemetry in SCOS 2000.

Plan

The ADRAMO Rider 1 project was kicked off in December, 2002. The Design phase was finalised in February 2003, with the Architectural Design Review. The Factory Acceptance Test will be at the end of May 2003.

Current Status

Factory Acceptance Test successful.
