CCSDS在遥感图像压缩中的应用研究

针对空间光学遥感数据特点,设计适合于星载光学遥感器数据压缩的算法目前仍然是一个研究热点。CCSDS压缩是适合于空间光学遥感数据压缩的最新标准。该标准由空间数据系统咨询委员会于2005年推出,从空间数据特点出发,可以有效解决数据压缩的问题。另外,利用该压缩标准可以更好的跟CCSDS的其他标准兼容。文章针对该压缩标准进行研究,对算法的实现过程进行了分析,并将该算法的实验结果跟其它的压缩算法做了比较,结果表明,该算法压缩效果与JPEG2000相当,但算法复杂度较低,易于硬件实现,符合星载压缩的实时处理要求。

Earth observation using low cost micro/minisatellites

Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) at the University of Surrey (UK) has pioneered cost-effective satellite engineering techniques for smaller, faster, cheaper satellites to provide affordable access to space. SSTL has designed, built, launched and operated a series of twelve 50kg microsatellites in low Earth orbit which carry a wide range of satellite communications, space science, remote sensing and in-orbit technology demonstration payloads — for both civil and military applications. Each of these has been built and launched for around US$3M. This paper reviews SSTL's remote sensing capabilities and presents image results from the microsatellite cameras in low Earth in orbit. The latest microsatellites (TMSAT & FASat-Bravo) under construction at SSTL and due for launch in mid-1997 will provide 3-band multispectral imaging with 80-metre resolution; autonomous on-board image analysis, processing and compression prior to transmission direct to ground-based users employing small portable terminals.     

Design of phase-locked loop for communication system via on-board signal processing satellites

The energy inconsistency for a multiple access system via an active satellite with simple repeating of signals is claimed. The on-board ideal signal processing algorithm resolving this inconsistency is considered and the optimal group signal processing algorithm in a manner of digital signals shape transformation followed by their time compression is suggested. The necessity for individual clock synchronization of ground stations is shown and the synchronous multiple access system block diagram with an optimal on-board signal processing is discussed.A phase disturbance dynamics of a two-loops clock synchronization system with variable time delay is investigated. A nonlinear differential-difference equation is obtained and for the first order PLL with time delay the exact solutions are found in cases of relay and linear shapes phase discriminator's characteristics. Phase errors' expressions are derived and the main factors of accuracy limiting caused by PLL's feedback time delay are established.

The data compression problem for the “GAIA” astrometric satellite of ESA

Space-based astrometry has a great tradition at ESA. The first space-based astrometric satellite in history, “Hipparcos”, was launched by ESA in 1989 and, in spite of orbital problems, was able to accomplish almost all of its tasks until it was finally shut down in 1993. The results of the Hipparcos mission were published by ESA in 1997 in the form of six CD-ROMs: the Hipparcos Catalogue contains 118,218 entries with median astrometric precision of around 1 milliarcsec, and specific results for double and multiple systems. In practice, Hipparcos drew for the first time the three-dimensional “map” of the spherical region of the Galaxy surrounding the Sun and having a radius of roughly 1,000 light years.

Then, in 1995, ESA launched the study of a new astrometric satellite, named “GAIA” and about a hundred times more powerful than Hipparcos, i.e. with median astrometric precision of around 10 microarcsec. This new satellite is intended to measure the parallaxes of over 50 million stars in the Galaxy, at least for the brightest stars, and this would mean to “draw” the three-dimensional map of the whole Galaxy, reaching out even to the Magellanic Clouds, 180,000 light years away.

The team of European scientists and engineers now designing GAIA, however, is facing hard technological difficulties. One of these is the design and coding of radically new and ultra-powerful mathematical algorithms for the on-board compression of the 50-million-stars data that GAIA will send to Earth from its intended geostationary orbit. Preliminary estimates of the raw data rates from the GAIA focal plane, in fact, are of the order of a few Gigabits per second. To reduce the data stream to the envisaged telemetry link of 1 Megabit per second, on-board data compression with a 1 to 1,000 ratio is the target. Clearly, this is far beyond the capabilities of any lossless compression technique (enabling compression ratios of 1 to some tens), and so some “wise” lossy compression mathematical procedure must be adopted.

In this paper a GAIA-adapted lossy data compression technique is presented, based on the Karhunen-Loève Transform (KLT). The essence of this method was already used by NASA for the Galileo mission when the large antenna got stuck and the mission was rescued by re-programming the on-board computer in terms of the KLT. That transform was officially named ICT — “Integer Cosine Transform” — by the NASA-JPL team led by Dr. Kahr-Ming Cheung. But the KLT here described for GAIA will of course differ from the JPL one in many regards, owing to the advances in computer technology.

Finally, estimates are also given about the possibility of using the KLT for onboard data compression in case GAIA is going to be put into orbit around the Lagrangian point L2 of the Earth-Sun system, and, above all, in case the number of stars to be observed is actually raised from 50 millions to one billion, as ESA currently appears to be likely to pursue.     

A packetised remote visual access data system for space station interactive payload operations.

Potential users of the pressurised Columbus elements, (the Attached Pressurised Module and the Man-Tended Free Flyer), were consulted in order to establish the requirements necessary to achieve effective and efficient remote interactive payload operations. These are briefly described and clearly indicate that the key to such operations is a versatile remote visual access (video) system which is well-tuned to the requirements of the users in both the on-board and ground segments. A packetised remote visual access data system is proposed which accommodates these requirements and offers a very flexible operational environment. It incorporates a scheme for optimising users' remote visual access to their experiments. Methods of implementing the necessary multiplexing and compression aspects of the system are discussed. A scheme for centralized on-board monitoring, which is complicated by the wide range of video sources required by the users, is outlined and aspects of the ground segment, in particular the problem is link delays, are considered.     

微小卫星三机异构一体化计算机设计

当前微小卫星的星载计算机与运载计算机多分别采用不同结构的计算机系统设计,导致资源浪费和运载计算机的可靠性较弱。文章提出了一种微小卫星一体化计算机的设计,即采用三机异构备份的设计方案。在发射运载阶段,以数字信号处理器（DSP）为核心的运载计算机作为主机,以高性能FPGA为核心的时变计算机作为备机;在在轨运行阶段,以ERC32处理器为核心的卫星平台计算机作为主机,时变计算机经重构后作为备机。此设计不仅提高了运载计算机的可靠性,而且对卫星平台电子系统在能源、热控、遥测遥控、有效载荷、姿态轨道控制等方面的综合管理能力也有全面提升,并且还具有灵活的扩展性和较强的适应性。     

SpaceWire星载网络通信协议设计

SpaceWire是ESA和NASA推荐的新一代星载数据总线标准,其应用方向之一是构建统一总线星载网络。星载网络是典型的实时系统,它对网络信息的传输时延具有严格要求。然而,传统SpaceWire网络多源、异步、事件触发的特性使它难以提供确定的信息传输时延,这制约了它在统一总线星载网络中的应用。本文为克服SpaceWire的上述应用瓶颈,提出一种基于时间触发的SpaceWire星载网络通信协议,并提出相应的节点通信调度算法,通过合理的规划使节点在确定的时间窗口发送通信数据,从而避免了网络资源冲突,使信息传输时延的确定性得到保证。

Image based control of the “PINOCCHIO” experimental free flying platform

A free floating platform is realized with a pneumatic suspension system which enables a two-dimensional test of complex space operations, such as rendezvous and docking. The platform is equipped with a IMU and actuated via cold gas thrusters. In addition, an on-board camera is used to acquire a target and its image is processed for evaluating the control actions needed to reach it. A technique for determining the relative position and velocity with respect to target using the same visual device is proposed and realized. The novel algorithms and relevant experimental results are presented. The tested accuracy of the relative navigation system is not very high, but the guidance algorithm, which is image based and has just a weak dependence on the position information, is robust enough to perform a successful maneuver. The error between the final acquired target image and the desired final target image is of the order of one pixel, notwithstanding all the testbed disturbances.

Autonomy in ground operations for geo-missions of ISRO

Geosynchronous space missions of ISRO with wide spectrum of payloads provide vital infrastructure for National Development and economic programs. Space technology had grown at a phenomenal rate and complex systems are already operational. Successful mission operations depend very much on many ground systems and knowledge base of the informed operator. An effective balance is to be maintained while using on-board autonomy and automatic operations from ground. The requirement to protect the payload services has increased since the solar activity is reportedly higher during recent times. The rich experience of Geo-mission operations has helped ISRO in formulating suitable algorithms and successfully implementing them to ensure service protection. The other benefit is operational economy since skilled work force is able to concentrate on health analysis and planning rather than routine operations. In this paper, certain case studies are discussed illustrating different levels of automation in ground operations.
