Functional component approach to telemetry data capture systems

Abstract

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.
