Functional Description

Specification • The JEEP provides efficient, best-effort delivery of packets. In-order delivery is only guaranteed if there are no transmission errors over the SpaceWire link, e.g., bit errors or dropped packets, and there are no routing options which could cause a segmented packet to be transmitted or received out of order. JEEP...

Generalized Star

Other • The generalized star topology is a topology that attempts to wire the network together in such a way that each node is the center of a small star (see Figure). Given a dimension d, these networks will have d! nodes and each node will have a fixed degree of d-1....

Grounding

Specification • Grounding provisions are required for the mechanical design to eliminate the potential for ESD charging on floating metal. Any component members with surface areas greater than 20 cm2 shall have a grounding provision. Bolted fittings are acceptable as grounding provisions if the joint meets the electrical resistance requirement for bonding....

High Speed Data Switch

Profile • Processing intensive systems may require many RP nodes to reduce large amounts of sensor data to an information set that can be downloaded to ground through bandwidth-limited downlinks. In many of these situations, processing will be distributed across many RP nodes connected through gigabit interfaces. A high-speed data switch could...

Hybrid Fat Trees

Other • A hybrid fat-tree is an extension to the fat-tree topology. Hybrid fat-trees perform well when minimizing average path length and network diameter.
