The '2018 Software Defined Satellite Summit' with the theme of 'Software Defined Satellites, Smart Leading Aerospace' continued to be held in Huairou, Beijing. Zhao Junsuo made the above statement when making the report.
He said that compared to traditional satellites, satellites are usually customized for single-task targets, and are closed systems where hardware cannot be directly exchanged and software cannot be reused directly. Software-defined satellites will establish a satellite open system architecture to eliminate satellite hardware and software. Tightly coupled relationship, allowing on-board software and algorithms to evolve and rapidly iterate.
In addition to narrowing the distance between satellites and the public, software-defined satellites will also narrow the distance between satellites and developers, allowing ordinary programmers to develop and publish on-board software, and develop, debug, test, and use software for satellite-based APPs. Note and on-orbit test, verification provides one-stop service.
At the same time, software-defined satellites can provide high-speed communications, precise navigation, and time service anywhere in the world. They can observe the Earth and outer space in real time with multi-dimensional refinement from a wide range of perspectives, realize monitoring of human activities, and sense changes in the global environment. Control the space situation.
Zhao Junsuo stated that the development of software-defined satellites will center on computing, establish an open satellite system architecture, and build an open, open source software ecosystem. Think of satellites as a computer capable of collecting, storing, processing, and sending and receiving data in space flight.
He proposed that the general idea for China to develop software-defined satellites is to develop the Tianzhi Xingyun test and control platform and the Tianzhi Xingyun big data platform by developing and launching the Tianzhi series of new technology test satellites, with powerful on-board real-time information processing and mass data storage. Ability, and equipped with 'Aerospace App Store', enabling Smart Satellites to have a wealth of software that can be reconstructed on demand, achieve different functions, and accomplish multiple tasks.
