In-flight verification of the engineering design data for the Energetic Particle Detector on board the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter
Wimmer-Schweingruber, Robert F.; Elftmann, Robert; Rodríguez-Pacheco, Javier +25 more
This work presents an overview of the in-flight engineering data of the Energetic Particle Detector (EPD) instrument suite during its first year of operation. EPD is part of the in-situ scientific payload of the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter mission which was launched in February 2020. After completion of its commissioning phase, Solar Orbiter started it…
Model-driven environment for configuration control and deployment of on-board satellite software
Carrasco, Alberto; Martínez, Agustín; Sánchez, Sebastián +3 more
This paper describes a model-driven environment for configuration control and deployment of on-board satellite software. The solution enables platform-aware software development through the use of modelling artefacts provided by a framework called MICOBS. The paper describes the proposed platform model, as well as the supporting models needed to c…
Icarus: In-situ monitoring of the surface degradation on a near-Sun asteroid
Granvik, Mikael; Lehtinen, Tuomas; Bellome, Andrea +1 more
Icarus is a mission concept designed to record the activity of an asteroid during a close encounter with the Sun. The primary science goal of the mission is to unravel the nontrivial mechanism(s) that destroy asteroids on orbits with small perihelion distances. Understanding the destruction mechanism(s) allows us to constrain the bulk composition …
