This is a high-level study into the validation of a unified electric power and communications architecture for modern spacecraft systems. We leverage from blending the European Cooperation for Space Standardisation (ECSS) SpaceWire and the IEEE 802.3 Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards for a common onboard power and communications interface. The focus of the work has been communication performance. The requirements from the protocols of both standards were analysed and combined to create a full protocol stack for SpaceWire PoE. The stack is implemented on an embedded platform represented as a proof-of-concept SpaceWire PoE system. The results of functional testing demonstrate SpaceWir... |
