    摘要: Systems, methods, and software described herein provide enhancements for managing data storage in a spaceborne or airborne platform. In one implementation, an airborne device in an airborne platform may identify a request to store a data object in a storage pool provided by a plurality of airborne devices. The airborne device will further identify at least one airborne device for storing the data object from the plurality of airborne devices, and communicate the data object to the at least one airborne device.

    摘要: Provided herein are various improvements to satellite or payload deployment systems and equipment. In one example, a satellite deployment apparatus is provided. The satellite deployment apparatus includes opposing retention members configured to engage protrusions of a satellite and hold the satellite with respect to a baseplate. The satellite deployment apparatus includes at least one pusher element configured to preload a deployment force on the satellite against the opposing retention members when the protrusions of the satellite are captive in the opposing retention members, and a deployment mechanism configured to spread the opposing retention members responsive to triggering by an actuator system and release the protrusions of the satellite for deployment of the satellite away from the baseplate using at least the deployment force.

    摘要: A self-mating modular satellite bus includes a plurality of side panels each having a front surface flanked by a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge, wherein the first longitudinal edge of each side panel is nested with the second longitudinal edge of an adjacent side panel. The longitudinal edges, when superimposed, form a joggle. A method of producing the modular satellite bus includes forming a plurality of the panels, aligning the first longitudinal edge of each side panel with the second longitudinal edge of an adjacent side panel, such that the first longitudinal edge of each side panel is nested with the second longitudinal edge of the adjacent side panel, and securing the first longitudinal edge of each side panel to the second longitudinal edge of the adjacent side panel.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and software described herein provide enhancements for deploying software payloads in satellite systems. In one example, a satellite device comprises a communication interface configured to receive software payloads for execution, and an execution system configured to execute ones of the software payloads as associated virtual nodes that share resources of the satellite device to at least perform activities using one or more on-board systems of the satellite device. The execution system is configured to transfer state information related to execution of ones of the virtual nodes to at least another device over the communication interface, wherein the state information comprises data related to the activities.
