Advanced orbiting systems front end

The Advanced Orbiting System (AOS) Front End System is being designed at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center as a prototype front end to demonstrate the core front end functions required in the Customer Data Operations Systems (CDOS) in a realistic data processing requirement. The overall goal is to provide a low-cost environment for evaluating and verifying AOS and CDOS requirements before the actual operational systems are built. The architecture of the AOS Front End system, its core processing functions, and performance requirements are discussed, as are possible implementation architectures and solutions being developed to handle key AOS services.

Functional component approach to telemetry data capture systems

A functional component approach to telemetry data capture systems is under development at the Mission Operations and Data Systems Directorate at the Goddard Space Flight Center which could support telemetry system needs in the next decade. The objective is to develop a library of functional modules which perform common telemetry functions. Some common telemetry data capture functions are NASA communications block processing, frame synchronization, Reed/Solomon decoding, packet processing, and virtual channel sorting/multiplexing.
