  • This paper presents the flight software of KoDSat (KSLV-l Demonstration Satellite) which performs demonstrating the KSLV-l (Korea Space Launch Vehicle-l)'s satellite launch capability. The KoDSat Flight Software executes in a single-processor, multi-function flight computer on the spacecraft, the OBC (On Board Computer). The flight software running on the single processor is responsible for all real-time processing associated with: processor startup and hardware initialization, task scheduling, RS422 handling function, command and data handling including uplink command and down-link telemetry, attitude determination and control, battery state of charge monitoring and control, thermal control processing.

  • Flight software plays an important role in operating satellites, such as processing commands from ground station, controlling satellites and processing mission data. Reliability is the most important thing in flight software and many verifications and tests are needed for assuring it. this causes an increase of cost and period of development. So NASA has developed a reusable flight software platform to apply to their satellite projects. The CFS(Core Flight System) is the very result. We are developing our flight software for a nano-satellite based on NASA CFS. We have tested core services and functions provided in CFS and we have designed and implemented flight software based on these.

  • It is very difficult to acquire high-fidelity flight test data for small airplanes such as typical unmanned aerial vehicles because MEMS-type small sensors used in the tests do not present reliable data in general. Besides, it is not practical to conduct expensive flight tests for low-cost small airplanes in order to simulate their flight characteristics. A practical approach to obtain acceptable flight data, including stability and control derivatives and data of weight and balance, is proposed in this study. Aircraft design software such as Darcorp's AAA is used to generate aerodynamic data for small airplanes, and moments of inertia are calculated using CATIA, structural design software. These flight data from simulation software are evaluated subjectively and tailored using simulation flight by experienced pilots, based on the certified procedures in FAA AC 120-45A and 40B, which are used for manned airplane simulators.

  • In satellites, even a small error in flight software could cause a failure of missions. Therefore, there are strict development and verification processes for a high reliability of flight software. However, satellites on orbits could meet unexpected situations including hardware malfunction. In this case, it is necessary for flight software to be updated to cope with the unexpected situations and to continue their missions. This paper reviews reprogramming capability of next generation LEO satellites.

  • The COMS flight software is implemented by ADA language and the high level application program language (APL). The APL is used to implement the Interpreted Program (IP) functions which are running on the processor. The IP functions have been developed for the payload management and monitoring with the automatic on-board operational procedure. The IP allows an easier re-programming if necessary. The ground can load or unload IP separately from ADA code in the RAM flight software. The uploaded IP is interpreted and executed by the Interpreted Program Environment (IPE) which is one of the functions implemented in the RAM flight software. In this paper, we introduce the IP and IPE function.

  • Flight software operated on the on-board computers in the satellite has requirements such as real-time, high reliability. These requirements make dependency between the flight software and operating environments. Further, whenever a new system is built, such problem drives that all flight software are redeveloped. Thus, the dependency problem between them should be solved. And the problem can be resolved by improving the portability of the flight software. In order to improve the portability it is required to minimize the porting cost. In this paper, we classify the portability with the portability achieving methods. Using the classified portability, we propose a platform architecture that is based on the IMA concept and provides various portability capabilities. The proposed architecture enables us to solve the problem about the development of the flight software.

  • The software-based satellite simulator has been developed from the start of the project to resolve the restriction and limitation of using hardware-based software development platform. It enables the development of flight software to be performed continuously since initial phase. The satellite simulator emulates the on-board computer, I/O modules, electronics and payloads, and it can be easily adapted and changed on hardware configuration change. It supports the debugging and test facilities for software engineers to develop flight software. Also the flight software can be loaded without any modification and can be executed as faster than real-time. This paper presents the architecture and design of software-based GEO satellite simulator which has hot-standby redundancy mechanism, and flight software development and test under this environment.

  • Currently, aircraft simulator has drawn a great attention because it has significant advantages of economic, temporal, and spatial costs compared with pilot training with real aircraft. Among the components of the aircraft simulator, flight dynamic model plays a key role in simulating the flight of an actual aircraft. Hence, it is important to verify the fidelity of flight dynamic model with an automated tool. In this paper, we develop a software to automatically verify the fidelity of the flight mechanics model for the efficient development of the aircraft simulator. After designing the software structure and GUI based on the requirements derived from the fidelity verification process, the software is implemented with C # language in Window-based environment. Experimental results on CTSW models show that the developed software is effective in terms of function, performance and user convenience.

  • Flight software operated on the on-board computers in the satellite has requirements such as real-time and high reliability. These requirements make dependency between the flight software and operating environments. Further, whenever a new system is built, such problem drives that all flight software are redeveloped. Thus, the dependency between them should be removed. And the work can be achieved by improving the portability of the flight software. In this paper, we propose a platform architecture based on the IMA architecture. The platform architecture is a hybrid one built by blending two kinds of realizations of the IMA architecture in order to maximize portability. In addition, we implement a prototype system and analyze the execution results of the system to justify the proposed architecture. The proposed architecture enables us to remove the dependency between fight software and operating environments.
