Future Modular Data Handling Concepts for Large Space Platforms

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / November 19-21, 1979 / Town and Country Hotel, San Diego, CaliforniaWith the ever-increasing competition for geostationary orbital positions, designers of applications satellites are looking more and more to the use of large multipurpose platforms to fly simultaneously a variety of payloads. This paper looks at the challenges these platforms provide in the field of data handling for individually launched and docking satellites, and reviews current European concepts and technologies which are being developed to meet these challenges.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
