10 Satellite Missions of the European Space Agency INTERFACE BETWEEN ESOC AND A SPACECRAFT ESOC Monitor a Spacecraft via Telemetry Telemetry is generated by each subsystems of the Spacecraft Telemetry is emitted by the Spacecraft to send data back to Earth Telemetry is received by a Ground Station Receiver Telemetry is visualised using the Satellite Control and Operation System (SCOS) ESOC Control a Spacecraft via Telecommands Telecommands are assembled by a Spacecraft Controller via SCOS Telecommands are transmitted by a Ground Station Transmitter Telecommands are received by the Spacecraft Telecommands are (typically) processed by the On-Board Computer 14

11 Architecture of a S/C, and a Reference Architecture for Simulators AGENDA Telespazio VEGA Deutschland GmbH (VEGA) The Simulation, Navigation and Technology (SNT) Group Satellite Missions of the European Space Agency (ESA) Some recent example missions Mission Lifecycle and Phases Role of the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) Architecture of a Spacecraft, and a Reference Architecture for Simulators High-Level Architecture of a Spacecraft Approach for a Reference Architecture to facilitate Model Re-Use Example of a specific instrument Model Driven Architecture (MDA) for Design and Development Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and Automation 15

14 Architecture of a S/C, and a Reference Architecture for Simulators APPROACH FOR SPACECRAFT SIMULATION For all Spacecraft Subsystems, a Reference Architecture (REFA) has been established Architecture defines common components and interfaces between them Architecture makes use of common libraries The On-Board Software is used from the Mission The Emulator is generic (per Processor) and can be re-used across missions The Environment Models are implemented as a Library which can be configured per Mission Ground Station Models are independent of a specific S/C and can be re-used across missions SLE API Star Tracker Model Emulator and On-Board Software Radio Frequency Control Models Environment Models Ground Station Models OSI Stack TCP/IP 18

15 Architecture of a S/C, and a Reference Architecture for Simulators THE SPACECRAFT SIMULATOR REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE Defines a reference architecture for operational simulators for ESOC. Defines standard interfaces between common satellite subsystems models Used within ESOC s UML modelling framework (UMF) Strongly based on ESOC s Generic Models (GENM) Libraries Promotes consistency in design across the different mission simulators facilitates re-use of design and models. No model implementation provided design only. Can be extended to meet a particular mission simulator needs. Mission changes may feed back into the maintained REFA. 19

21 TECHNICAL CHALLENGES Accurate Modelling of highly complex System High focus on formal testing and validation Demanding Requirements on Documentation European Commission for Space Standardisation (ECSS) Long-Term Maintenance until End of Mission Typically requires migration to new platform/operating system Distributed Development Team Fully integrated development environment across countries 25

22 RECENT TECHNOLOGIES Full Automation of Testing Unit and Integration Testing is done via CppUnit / JUnit System Testing is done via JavaScript procedures (Scripting Language) All Tests are executed every night ( nightly build and test approach ) Apply Model Driven Architecture (MDA) based development approach Complete system is modelled in Universal Modelling Language (UML) Source code is generated from UML Design Documentation is generated from UML Design Strict Adherence to Open Standards Avoid dependency on a specific Platform, Operation System or Tool Use Static Code Analysis to detect platform specific code Build and Test on various Operating Systems (LINUX, Windows) 26

23 MODEL DRIVEN ARCHITECTURE APPROACH FOR SIMULATORS As a common simulation platform, a simulation standard has been defined SMP2 is the Simulation Model Portability Standard by ESA SMP is the Simulation Modelling Platform Standard by ECSS To support MDA, a Domain Specific Language (DSL) has been defined The Simulation Model Definition Language (SMDL) is part of SMP2 An Implementation of SMDL in a commercial UML tool is available Tools to generate Documentation from SMDL have been developed Tools to generate C++ Source Code from SMDL have been developed All Generic Models (GENM) have been migrated to SMDL and SMP2 The Reference Architecture (REFA) has been defined using SMDL 27
