Margins of Safety
Specification • Margin of Safety (MS) is defined as MS = 1/R - 1, where R is the ratio of the factored applied load (or stress) to the allowable load (or stress) and shall be greater than 0. Margin of Safety Calculation The specific failure theory used to determine the allowable load...
Mass Properties
Specification • The JAS mechanical structure shall attempt to optimize mass, center of gravity, and moments of inertia.
Material Properties and Allowables
Specification • The JAS mechanical structure design of the metallic parts shall use A Basis allowables from MIL-HDBK-5 or equivalent. The design of the composite parts shall use B Basis allowables generated using the methodology in MIL-HDBK-17 or equivalent.
Materials
Specification • The JAS mechanical structure shall be constructed of materials capable of performing at the specified orbit for a minimum of ten years after being stored in an inert gas environment and after exposure to clean air during testing, launch, and ascension. The use of the following materials is prohibited: Zinc,...
Memory Access Service
Specification • Error: unable to migrate element with tag="" The following diagram shows how the JAS Memory Access Service fits into the overall communication stack. The Memory Access Service provides a standard interface to applications that allows them to remotely access memory on a JAS node across a communication link. This is...
Mezzanine Connector
Specification • A very useful option for plug-in modules is the ANSI/VITA 57 standard FPGA Mezzanine Card or FMC. This standard specifies an industry standard form factor utilizing a low profile, high-speed, high-pin count connector. The FMC connector can support very high bandwidths. The FMC approach solves the problem of how to...
Molecular Contamination
Specification • For all components that will be in the vicinity of an optical payload and anywhere that contamination at the molecular level is an issue, all parts and materials must comply with ASTM E 595 for less than 1% Total Mass Loss (TML) and 0.1% CVCM. Thermal bake-out of all components...
Molecular Thermovac Testing
Specification • Thermovac temperature testing is required to determine dissipation at full power modes. A test plan needs to be developed and coordinated with the System Engineer.
Mounting Distortion Impact
Specification • The JAS mechanical structure shall maintain the electronics/PCBs listed below within given positions with distortions less than expected for the intended application.
Multiplexed Logical Channels
Specification • The protocol shall support multiple simultaneous logical connections over a single SpaceWire link.
Nominal Case
Specification • In the nominal case the close packet is immediately acknowledged by the receive TEP and the transmit TEP transitions to the CLOSED state. The receive TEP transitions to the CLOSED state after the expiration of its timer. The purpose of the receive TEP’s delay in the CLOSING state is to...
Overall Functional Description
Specification • This protocol describes the mechanism for reliable transfer of data packets over a SpaceWire connection and adds the following capabilities to a SpaceWire link: Multiplexed Logical Connections Reliable Delivery Missing packet detection Out of sequence packet reordering Buffer fragmentation and reassembly
Packet Addressing and Routing
Specification • Packets will be identified and routed in the system using the SAPID, DAPID, ST, and SST. Applications shall provide these fields to the JAS Packet Service to create the stream of packets that will be sent across the communication channel. Communication channels and addresses, such as a SpaceWire address, can...
Packet Error Control
Specification • Even though JAS network protocols offer a guaranteed delivery option, there still exists the possibility of an error being introduced into a packet while it is being created or transferred from memory to the communication channel. To provide an additional layer of error detection all JAS packets shall contain a...
Packet Sequence Numbers
Specification • An 8-bit sequence number shall be assigned to each packet transmitted.
Packet Sequencing
Specification • The use of the packet sequencing fields within the JAS packet is different from the definition in the CCSDS and PUS standards. The original intention of the packet sequence counter was to provide two functions. First, it was used in combination with the sequence flags to reassemble data sets that...
Packet Service Definitions
Specification • [Placeholder: services reserved for and specific to JAS; this is a lead in to describe the services. Contact SNL if immediate support is needed with this topic. Content will be developed for JT 2.0.]
Particulate Contamination
Specification • Internal Cavities will be wiped clean with isopropyl alcohol and allowed to air dry for 30 minutes prior to close out; the structure will be covered during the drying process. The surfaces will be visibly clean. Visibly clean is defined as no contamination visible when viewed from 6-18 inches away...
Payload
Specification • JRDDP Packet Format Secondary Header (Optional) The presence of the optional secondary header is indicated by the Secondary Header Flag in the Packet Control field. If a secondary header is present, its contents and format are implementation dependent and shall be documented in a program specific document. The secondary header...
PCI Express
Specification • PCI Express, or PCIe, is another multi-lane high speed serial interconnect technology. Each lane is a full-duplex data stream comprised of two differential signaling pairs, one for transmitting and one for receiving.
Potential Flight Capability
Specification • Each component of the JAS mechanical structure should consider Flight capability as this will force consideration of design, flight, and test environments described in this specification. The JAS mechanical structure should be designed for the specific application intended.
Power Distribution Architecture
Specification • JAS will accept at least one primary input power source supplied to the system. The primary input power will connect directly to the Power Supply or PS node in a JAS arrangement. The PS node converts the primary input voltage to a lower voltage which is then sent to all...
Primary Power Conversion
Specification • JAS will provide the capability to convert primary power to secondary power.
Primary Power Conversion Efficiency
Specification • The converter should be optimized for efficiency to reduce power consumption and avoid unnecessary heat generation through power dissipation. The exact design of the primary converter will depend upon the required efficiency and the exact nature of the input power.
