2 Overarching Science Objective
To determine the structure and dynamics of the Sun’s coronal magnetic field, understand how the solar corona and wind are heated and accelerated, and determine what mechanisms accelerate and transport energetic particles. 27 October 2015

7 FSW Design Hardware Environment
APL Developed Single Board Computer (x3): UT699E LEON3FT (Sparc V8 architecture) 80MHz from Cobham Colorado Springs 32 MB SRAM with EDAC 8 MB of MRAM (Non-Volatile Memory) 6.4 MB usable 3.2 MB per logical bank FPGA facilitates NVM image verification during boot Boot loader executes out of NVM 256Gbits (32GBytes) NAND Flash Bulk Memory (SSR) on processor board Memory mapped I/O SBC interfaces UARTs to Avionics Redundancy Controller (ARC) SpaceWire to spacecraft and instrument subsystems as well as other single board computers 27 October 2015

8 Flight Software Driving Requirements (1 of 2)
Manage software operations on three processors Uplink command data files using CFDP Provide additional uplink in BD mode Management of files on the SSR (256Gbit) Allow for reset in sufficient time for Solar Array Safing Retention of critical spacecraft information through processor resets Communicate to spacecraft elements external to computer SpaceWire transactions Boot time 27 October 2015

9 Flight Software Driving Requirements (2 of 2)
Operate a 3-axis stabilized spacecraft Uplink data range of 7.125bps to 2Kbps Downlink frames at rates from 10bps up to 1Mbps Downlink recorded data files using CFDP Distribution of time and status Manage spacecraft time tagged commands Collect instrument data Manage spacecraft subsystem commands and collect spacecraft housekeeping data Record and downlink spacecraft housekeeping and instrument data Support fault protection & limited autonomous instrument safing 27 October 2015

10 FSW Design FSW Functionality (1 of 2)
Boot Simple boot loader; no commanding/telemetry Command and Data Handling (C&DH) Command management Uplink: receive transfer frames from transponder Commands: real-time, macros, time tags, autonomy Packets extracted and distributed locally or to a S/C subsystem Telemetry Receive telemetry from subsystems/individual applications SSR management Record/playback spacecraft and instrument data to/from a file system 27 October 2015

11 FSW Design FSW Functionality (2 of 2)
Command and Data Handling (C&DH) (Continued) Autonomy Autonomous fault detection and safing/switchover on Prime Software management Memory object loading, CPU utilization, etc. Guidance and Control (G&C) G&C sensor interface management, Three-axis control, momentum maintenance Cruise phase & thruster control, 50 Hz attitude control, 1 Hz attitude estimation 27 October 2015

12 FSW Design Software on Three Processors
Prime, Hot Spare, Backup Spare are all running the same software Applications are controlled by Scheduler messages Messages drive degree of application functionality Some applications have knowledge of SBC logical state Reduce power consumption and processor loading Prime sends Hot Spare (and Backup Spare during encounter) a status message at 1 Hz Data includes: Current spacecraft configuration Raw star tracker data Current time data Current accumulated SA flap & feather and HGA step counts Current spacecraft FM mode(s) Safe Mode – Solar Array entry time G&C code on spare will verify raw star tracker data Hot Spare promoted to Prime on Prime demotion G&C primed via previously received message Scheduler sends full compliment of messages to applications 27 October 2015

14 JHU/APL Flight Software
1990s/Early 2000s NEAR/ACE/TIMED Even now, some of our code dates back this era 2000s MESSENGER/New Horizons/STEREO Modify Last Mission 27 October 2015

15 JHU/APL Flight Software
Can we make the code more modular? IRAD to make that happen Radiation Belt Storm Probes Fleshed out many capabilities of using NASA/GSFC Core Flight Executive (cFE) Collaboration with NASA/MSFC Radiation Belt Storm Probes (Van Allen Probes) First full mission adaptation of cFE Evolved into Core FSW Solar Probe Plus First reuse of Core FSW on major mission 27 October 2015

17 FSW Design Software Layers (2 of 4)
Operation System Abstraction Layer (OSAL) Provided by NASA/GSFC Enables easy porting of applications that ran over VxWorks on the Van Allen Probes Operating System Abstraction Layer (OSAL) RTEMS Real-Time Operating System 27 October 2015

18 FSW Design Software Layers (3 of 4)
NASA GSFC Core Flight Executive (cFE) middleware Provided by NASA/GSFC Enables common flight executive functions Well documented application programmer interface (API) Project-independent configuration management Applications are modular, independent, and decoupled Core Flight Executive (cFE) Operating System Abstraction Layer (OSAL) RTEMS Real-Time Operating System 27 October 2015
