Command and Data Handling
 

 

 

 

Micro Aerospace Solutions has extensive system development experience with various computer controlled and automation systems.  These include embedded systems, microcontroller systems and graphical display systems. We can design and integrate Command and Data Handling equipment and computer systems including embedded system development, single board computer systems and video capture/image collection systems for both space and terrestrial applications.

We offer consulting services to help you with your spacecraft design and can assist in system design and analysis during any phase of the system life cycle from initial concept through operations.

Micro Aerospace Solutions offers PC/104-based command and data handling systems architectures.  The PC/104 is an inherently rugged platform.  It features stacking bus connectors and a very small, low-power footprint.  PC/104 modules flex less and are more stable than larger boards with backplanes.  These PC/104-based computer systems have the following parameters:

 

Processors

EBX Pentium, Celeron, Transmeta, 386/486/586, Geode, ARM, PowerPC

Operating Temperature

-40 to 85 Degrees C

Operating Systems

UNIX – Solaris, Linux, VXWorks, various RTOS

Communications Buses

MIL-STD 1553, RS485, RS232, RS422,Ethernet, I2C, USB

CPU Board Power

4 to 13 Watts (5 volts)

Bus

ISA,PCI

Miscellaneous Options

Watchdog timers, video framegrabbers, 16 A/D and I/O channels per board

 

Custom enclosures as well as boards can be designed and built by Micro Aerospace Solutions.  Our personnel have design, built, tested and delivered hardware and software for space and earth-based computer systems based on the PC/104 architecture as well as 8-bit microcontroller systems.  We can assist you in system specification, design, development and testing. 

 

We have experience with NASA shuttle and ISS system and payload requirements for computer and software systems as well as man-machine interface standards for human graphical user interface (GUI) systems.  We can provide engineers to meet your system hardware and software needs.
