Abstract
This invention relates to an attitude and orbit control system in which a standard interface is provided between an attitude and orbit control electronics unit and all peripheral systems. For this purpose microprocessors with expandable processing capability are used, and processing power is decentralized, with data processing being performed on the periphery. All functions such as automatic controllers, modulators, etc. are implemented with expandable microprocessors.
