Abstract
Software and hardware for monitoring, testing, and developing communication and electronic systems on spacecrafts. Several systems are provided to monitor, test, and control a next generation SpaceCube, including a RadHard Monitor (RHM), a Mini ASTM Board, an FMC+ ASTM Board, a Mini Evaluation Board, a MEZZ and an Automated Test Suite. The RHM are FPGA IP and hardware configured to monitor COTS components. The Mini ASTM Board connects a Mini Processor Card to an ASTM for electrical testing. FMC+ ASTM Card connects FMC and FMC+ test cards to the ASTM for electrical testing. A Mini Evaluation Board supplies all necessary power to the Mini Processor card. The MEZZ is a multi-use GSE test board that is compatible with several different development platforms in the SpaceCube to allow developers to develop and test their software. The Automated Test Suite provides functional testing of an assembled SpaceCube board.
