Satellite-based web server

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: There is a large variety of telemetry recervmg software currently available for thereception of telemetry information from different satellites. Most of the software used inreceiving telemetry data is satellite specific. Hence, a user-friendly way is needed tomake telemetry data easily accessible. A satellite-based web server is aimed at providingtelemetry information to any standard web browser as a way of bringing spacetechnology awareness to the people. Two different satellite-based web server methods areexamined in this thesis. Based on the evaluation, the on-board File server with proxyserver was proposed for satellite-based web server development. This requires that theFile server be ported to the on-board computer of the satellite. The web proxy server isplaced on the ground segment with the necessary communication requirements tocommunicate with the on-board File server. In the absence of satellite, the satellite-basedweb server was successfully implemented on two computers, laying a good foundationfor implementation on the on-board computer of the satellite (OBe).
