Spread and SpreadRecorder An Architecture for Data Distribution

The Space Acceleration Measurement System (SAMS) project at the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) has been measuring the microgravity environment of the space shuttle, the International Space Station, MIR, sounding rockets, drop towers, and aircraft since 1991. The Principle Investigator Microgravity Services (PIMS) project at NASA GRC has been collecting, analyzing, reducing, and disseminating over 3 terabytes of collected SAMS and other microgravity sensor data to scientists so they can understand the disturbances that affect their microgravity science experiments. The years of experience with space flight data generation, telemetry, operations, analysis, and distribution give the SAMS/ PIMS team a unique perspective on space data systems. In 2005, the SAMS/PIMS team was asked to look into generalizing their data system and combining it with the nascent medical instrumentation data systems being proposed for ISS and beyond, specifically the Medical Computer Interface Adapter (MCIA) project. The SpreadRecorder software is a prototype system developed by SAMS/PIMS to explore ways of meeting the needs of both the medical and microgravity measurement communities. It is hoped that the system is general enough to be used for many other purposes.

Artificial generation of representative single Li-ion electrode particle architectures from microscopy data

Accurately capturing the architecture of single lithium-ion electrode particles is necessary for understanding their performance limitations and degradation mechanisms through multi-physics modeling. Information is drawn from multimodal microscopy techniques to artificially generate LiNi 0.5 Mn 0.3 Co 0.2 O 2 particles with full sub-particle grain detail. Statistical representations of particle architectures are derived from X-ray nano-computed tomography data supporting an ‘outer shell’ model, and sub-particle grain representations are derived from focused-ion beam electron backscatter diffraction data supporting a ‘grain’ model. A random field model used to characterize and generate the outer shells, and a random tessellation model used to characterize and generate grain architectures, are combined to form a multi-scale model for the generation of virtual electrode particles with full-grain detail. This work demonstrates the possibility of generating representative single electrode particle architectures for modeling and characterization that can guide synthesis approaches of particle architectures with enhanced performance.

Advanced orbiting systems - A standard architecture for space data communications

The standard data handling service architecture developed by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems is discussed. Special attention is given to the communications protocols that are recommended for the networked transfer of space mission data, with emphasis on the unique requirements of transmitting many different data types through the weak-signal noisy space channels at high rates (up to many hundreds of megabits per second). A user service model of a typical space mission data flow configuration, known as the 'pipe diagram', is described in detail.

Reference architecture for space data systems

This paper introduces the Reference Architecture for Space Data Systems (RASDS)that is being developed by CCSDS. RASDS uses five views to describe architectures of space data systems. These views are derived from the viewpoints of the Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP), but they are slightly modified from the RM-ODP viewpoints so that they can better represent the concerns of space data systems.

Tools for describing the reference architecture for space data systems

This paper has briefly presented the Reference Architecture for Space Data Systems (RASDS) that is being developed by the CCSDS Systems Architecture Working Group (SAWG). The SAWG generated some sample architectures (spacecraft onboard architectures, space link architectures, cross-support architectures) using this RASDS approach, and RASDS was proven to be a powerful tool for describing and relating different space data system architectures.

Improving the Acquisition and Management of Sample Curation Data

This paper discusses the current sample documentation processes used during and after a mission, examines the challenges and special considerations needed for designing effective sample curation data systems, and looks at the results of a simulated sample result mission and the lessons learned from this simulation. In addition, it introduces a new data architecture for an integrated sample Curation data system being implemented at the NASA Astromaterials Acquisition and Curation department and discusses how it improves on existing data management systems.
