Wireless Interconnect CubeSat using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) subsystem controls the communication between boards on the CubeSat. It will replace wired Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (UART) connections between Command and Data Handling (C&DH) and each subsystem. It allows us to only use one UART channel and reduces the length of commands sent to the subsystems.

Examination of Space Vehicle Ethernet Interconnects

The NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) was requested to examine the performance of Ethernet in space vehicle configurations at the physical layer and develop guidance for system designers to ensure correct Ethernet operation in these systems. The objective of the assessment was to develop guidance and requirements for Ethernet cable and connectors for spaceflight environments and make recommendations for Ethernet systems used in flight-critical space applications. This report contains the results of the NESC assessment.

Integrating the Interconnections Between Groundwater and Land Surface Processes Through the Coupled NASA Land Information System and ParFlow Environment

Understanding the interactions between the atmosphere, the land, and the subsurface is fundamental to hydrology and is critical for a better assessment of the impacts of climate change and human management on hydrological systems. However, many land surface models simplify the subsurface hydrology and thereby these interactions. In this study, we couple the land surface model Noah-MP included in the NASA Land Information System (LIS) with the integrated hydrologic model ParFlow (ParFlow-LIS) using the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) and the National United Operational Prediction Capability (NUOPC). This coupling improves the simulation of water and energy cycle processes by adding the three-dimensional variably saturated and heterogeneous flow in the subsurface using sophisticated and nonlinear physics-based equations as well as the advances in satellite remote sensing-based data assimilation of the land surface, thereby benefiting the integrated hydrologic modeling and data assimilation community. We use the High Plains aquifer, located in the central United States, as a testbed to evaluate the coupled ParFlow-LIS system. The new ParFlow-LIS system accounts for the effects of topographically driven flows on the land surface, producing more fine-scale patterns of land surface states and fluxes than standalone LIS. In addition, ParFlow-LIS enables the consideration of the effect of subsurface water storage on evapotranspiration. This is particularly important in areas and times with dry soils, such as during drought conditions or in the presence of a cone of depression due to pumping.

Arbitration in crossbar interconnect for low latency

A system and method and computer program product for reducing the latency of signals communicated through a crossbar switch, the method including using at slave arbitration logic devices associated with Slave devices for which access is requested from one or more Master devices, two or more priority vector signals cycled among their use every clock cycle for selecting one of the requesting Master devices and updates the respective priority vector signal used every clock cycle. Similarly, each Master for which access is requested from one or more Slave devices, can have two or more priority vectors and can cycle among their use every clock cycle to further reduce latency and increase throughput performance via the crossbar.
