A reliable telemetry software design for a satellite system

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT:One of the requirements for satellite telemetry systems is the provision of reliabletelemetry data to allow accurate monitoring of the satellite status. This thesis focuses onthe design of telemetry software that meets this data reliability requirement. An improvedsynchronization strategy to allow efficient ground reception of the telemetry data isimplemented on SUNSAT's direct link. The data collection and transmission functionsare also enhanced by the addition of the necessary redundant information to the datawhile meeting the real-time requirements of the system. To enhance the software qualitya development methodology entailing structured programming practices and modulardecomposition is proposed. It is shown that the resulting telemetry software fulfils thefunctional requirements.
