Abstract

See full text

A method and system for satellite control in space using an IP-based satellite bus and all-IP compliant subsystems and payload(s) and a corresponding T&C system. Specifically, the present method/system includes a satellite-based IP Bus (connected as a network) that relies on Ethernet, USB, WIFI, or Bluetooth to connect various satellite components, satellite components configured to communicate on the IP bus, and a T&C system that understands the IP bus and can read its telemetry and commands. The system permits operations control on-orbit, in near real time within a secure system environment, with a dramatic increase in mission efficiency, an expansion of how much and what can be done on-orbit, and cost savings on future missions using IP-compliant spacecraft and payloads.
