Spaceborne Digital Computer Systems NASA NASA SP-8070 SPACE VEHICLE DESIGN CRITERIA (GUIDANCE AND CONTROL) SPACEBORNE DIGITAL COMPUTER SYSTEMS CASE FILE COPY MARCH 1971 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION GUIDE TO THE USE OF THIS MONOGRAPH The purpose of this monograph is to organize and present, for effective use in spacecraft devel- opment, the significant experience and knowledge accumulated in development and operational programs to date. It reviews and assesses current design practices, and from them establishes firm guidance for achieving greater consistency in design, increased reliability in the end product, and greater efficiency in the design effort. The monograph is organized into three major sections that are preceded by a brief Zntroduction and complemented by a set of References. The State of the Art, section 2, reviews and discusses the total design problem, and identifies which design elements are involved in successful designs. It describes succinctly the current tech- nology pertaining to these elements. When detailed information is required, the best available references are cited. This section serves as a survey of the subject that provides background material and prepares a proper technological base for the Design Criteria and Recommended Practices. The Design Criteria, shown in section 3, state clearly and briefly what rule, guide, limitation, or standard must be imposed on each essential design element to insure successful design. The Design Criteria can serve effectively as a checklist for the project manager to use in guiding a design or in assessing its adequacy. The Recommended Practices, as shown in section 4, state how to satisfy each of the criteria. When- ever possible, the best procedure is described; when this cannot be done concisely, appropriate references are provided. The Recommended Practices, in conjunction with the Design Criteria, provide positive guidance to the practicing designer on how to achieve successful design. Both sections have been organized into decimally numbered subsections so that the subjects within similarly numbered subsections correspond from section to section. The format for the Contents displays this continuity of subject in such a way that a particular aspect of design can be followed through both sections as a discrete subject. The design criteria monograph is not intended to be a design handbook, a set of specifications, or a design manual. It is a summary and a systematic ordering of the large and loosely organized body of existing successful design techniques and practices. Its value and its merit should be judged on how effectively it makes that material available to and useful to the user. i For sale by the National Technical Information Service, Springfield, Virginia 22151 - Price $3.00 FOREWORD NASA experience has indicated a need for uniform criteria for the design of space vehicles, Accordingly, criteria are being developed in the following areas of technology: Environment Structures Guidance and Control Chemical Propulsion Individual components of this work will be issued as separate monograps as soon as they are completed.

INTRODUCTION As space vehicle missions have become more complex, the use of onboard digital computers has become more prevalent. The functions which these computers are assigned to perform are also expanding in number and magnitude. As a result, the problem of specifying and designing digital computers for space vehicles has increased in complexity. Although most spaceborne digital computers are of the type often referred to as “general purpose,” they have been in fact special-purpose machines in that a particular choice of design must reflect the requirements of the particular mission application. Thus, the program manager must be aware of the capabilities and limitations of spaceborne computer systems and the design tradeoffs which might affect his application. The flight performance of spaceborne digital computer systems has generally been successful. However, a number of recurring problems have been experienced during the design, develop- ment, and testing of these machines. Previous systems have been very costly, have required major redesigns, and have caused significant schedule delays. Most difficulties have resulted from 1) lack of adequate capacity and flexibility to accommodate expanded requirements, 2) poorly defined subsystem and interface specifications, 3) the impact on software of changing mission requirements, and 4) reliability demands. Important factors which influence the design and performance of spaceborne digital computer systems include: System architecture Computational capability (precision, speed, throughput, memory capacity, input/output capability, instruction repertoire, etc.) Adaptability (expandability, flexibility, compatibility, etc.) Provisions for interface with other components of the system Software (support and applications programs, ease of programming, etc.) Cost (money, weight, power, volume, time) Reliability related items (fault tolerance, failure rate, redundancy, ease of checkout, etc.) 0 Environment (temperature, shock and vibration, electromagnetic and nuclear radiation, noise, power fluctuations, etc.) Packaging and cabling design 1 The preferred design should consider the expanding nature of the requirements, potential advances in the technological state of the art, and the entire spectrum of environmental require- ments. It should strike a balance between hardware complexity and software simplicity, and facilitate simulation, testing, and checkout. This monograph discusses considerations which form a basis for the specification, design and evaluation of digital computer systems for spaceborne applications. Detailed discussion of the following items are outside the scope of this monograph: software development, mechanical and electrical design, hardware technology, I/Q equipment, displays, and test equipments or specifications. Related documents are SP-8053, “Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects on Materials,” June 1970 and SP-8054, “Space Radiation Protection,” June 1970. 2. STATE OF THE ART The state of the art of spaceborne digital computer systems has undergone a rapid development over the past decade and will continue to do so in the future. An onboard digital computer has now become essential for most new space vehicles. This section provides a brief description and appraisal of some of the design and flight experience of these systems, and the

Introduction High Performance computer systems can be regarded as the most power- ful and flexible research instruments today. They are employed to model phenomena in fields so various as climatology, quantum chemistry, compu- tational medicine, High-Energy Physics and many, many other areas. In 2 J.J. Dongarra & A.J. van der Steen this article we present some of the architectural properties and computer components that make up the present HPC computers and also give an out- look on the systems to come. For even though the speed of computers has increased tremendously over the years (often a doubling in speed every 2 or 3 years), the need for ever faster computers is still there and will not disappear in the forseeable future. Before going on to the descriptions of the machines themselves, it is use- ful to consider some mechanisms that are or have been used to increase the performance.

Flights lasting two weeks, into the Van Allen Belt, the first extravehicular activities, rendezvous maneuvers and docking with other spacecraft—all of this was achieved by Gemini, paving the way for the more demanding moon landing program. The channel of the intracoastal waterway can be seen near the bottom center of the image. See all 5 - All listings for this product. McDonnell later sought to extend the Gemini program by proposing a derivative which could be used to fly a cislunar mission and even achieve a crewed lunar landing earlier and at less cost than Apollo, but these proposals were rejected by NASA.

  • NASA Study on Flight Software Complexity
    Final Report NASA Study on Flight Software Complexity Commissioned by the NASA Office of Chief Engineer Technical Excellence Program Adam West, Program Manager “The demand for complex hardware/software systems has increased more rapidly than the ability to design, implement, test, and maintain them. … It is the integrating potential of software that has allowed designers to contemplate more ambitious systems encompassing a broader and more multidisciplinary scope, and it is the growth in utilization of software components that is largely responsible for the high overall complexity of many system designs.” Michael Lyu Handbook of Software Reliability Engineering, 1996 “While technology can change quickly, getting your people to change takes a great deal longer. That is why the people- intensive job of developing software has had essentially the same problems for over 40 years. It is also why, unless you do something, the situation won’t improve by itself. In fact, current trends suggest that your future products will use more software and be more complex than those of today. This means that more of your people will work on software and that their work will be harder to track and more difficult to manage. Unless you make some changes in the way your software work is done, your current problems will likely get much worse.” Watts Humphrey Winning with Software: An Executive Strategy, 2001 Editor: Daniel L.
