SED Mission

The Software Engineering Division (SED) provides end-to-end software systems solution, expertise, and software technologies to:

– Design, Develop/Build, Integrate, Simulate, Verify/Validate On Orbit, and Operate


Discipline engineering support includes spacecraft and instrument flight software, ground command and control systems, science and mission planning and scheduling systems, science data processing systems (including on-board/in-flight systems), and science data analysis and modeling systems for both in-house flight hardware development and oversight for out-of-house developed instruments and missions

27



SED Technology

The SpaceCube Family—SED is developing advanced on-board processing capabilities to meet the computational Science requirements of future missions (e.g., those including hyperspectral and SAR instruments). Capable to reconfigure and adapt on the fly, those capabilities will enable to produce data products on-board for direct downlink and to performrapid detection and real-time reaction to Science and

"first-responder" events.

Pi-Sat: A Low Cost Distributed Mission Test Bed—SED has prototyped ultra-low cost, preconfigured, easy to use development systems for Distributed Spacecraft Mission (DSM) flight software research and for CubeSat/SmallSat flight software research and development."

28


SED Facilities

The Flight Software Technology Advancements Development and Test Lab is used to assemble, integrate, and test flight software technologies using simulators prior to proposing on future missions.

Top left: Software engineers test their code on the SpaceCube platform that will control an ISS payload.Bottom left: Electrical and mechanical engineers work on a SpaceCube data processing system bound for the International Space Station.

The ASIC SIDECAR Lab is used to develop and test software that will be used in conjunction with detectors on mission like JWST and TIRS.

The Code 587 Science Data Processing Lab is used to assemble, integrate, and test SpaceCube avionics systems prior to delivering to customer.

29

The Goddard Mission Services Evolution Center (GMSEC) provides mission enabling, cost/risk reduction solutions for current and future missions.

The Wallops Mission Planning Lab (MPL)is the mission analysis, design, visualization, and evaluation facility for sub-orbital and special orbital missions.
