PROJECT
Distributed spacecraft systems composed of
spacecraft constellations present significant challenges for system
designers particularly for integrated control of heterogeneous
assets. As certain functions require coordination of constellation
members, efficient means need to exist for establishing the
collective operation in a System of Systems (SoS) context. We
developed an infrastructure that facilitates dependable formation
and operation of distributed real-time systems with several
innovations.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Cluster architecture with run-time services
for operational integration of virtual platforms, multi-craft
formation flying and sensor webs.
PROJECT STATUS
Completed Program for NASA GSFC.
