On-Board Data Analysis and Real-Time Information System

The DLR is currently working on an on-board data analysis and real-time information system, for satellites and other autonomous platforms. The system should offer query and alarming services with a query-response time of a few minutes. This is hard to archive today and would beneficial for many earth observation applications. A first prototype of the system has been designed and tested on a flight campaign. In this article we present the current status of the system, the next development steps for bringing the system closer to space, and the obstacles we have to tackle on the way
