Distributed computing in space-based wireless sensor networks
This thesis investigates the application of distributed computing in general and wireless sensor networks in particular to space applications. Particularly, the thesis addresses issues related to the design of "space-based wireless sensor networks" that consist of ultra-small satellite nodes flying together in close formations. The design space of space-based wireless sensor networks is explored. Consequently, a methodology for designing space-based wireless sensor networks is proposed that is based on a modular architecture. The hardware modules take the form of 3-D Multi-Chip Modules (MCM). The design of hardware modules is demonstrated by designing a representative on-board computer module. The onboard computer module contains an FPGA which includes a system-on-chip architecture that is based on soft components and provides a degree of flexibility at the later stages of the design of the mission.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo
