Technical Session I: Military Applications
Abstract
This paper describes the potential to enhance the performance and reliability of small satellites by using increased levels of digital processing on-board the spacecraft. It describes an architecture, developed by Control Data, that will satisfy its users' needs and provide mechanisms for high reliability. The term "SMARTSAT" means a small satellite that has significant "smarts" (processing capability) on-board.
