A solid state data recorder for spacecraft telemetry applications
Abstract
A solid state data recorder (SSDR) has been developed which offers a high-reliability alternative to tape recorders in many spacecraft telemetry applications. The storage medium used in this recorder was ferrimagnetic garnet films supporting nonvolatile magnetic bubble domains. The recorder was designed using modular construction consisting of a digital control unit, power supply, and two memory modules. A prototype SSDR has been fabricated which is designed for 100-million bits of storage but was populated with 128 chips for a 13-million bit capacity. Preliminary tests indicate satisfactory operation.
