Fault-Tolerance Techniques for Spacecraft Control Computers

By Yanjun Feng, Gengxin Hua, Mengfei Yang

A fundamental guide to spacecraft control computers fault tolerance techniques, this book covers topics from the space radiation environment through to spacecraft control computer architecture, as well as hardware and software fault tolerance. Techniques including fault-tolerance architecture, fault detection, space buses, software fault tolerance, FPGA-based fault tolerance, fault injection, and intelligence fault tolerance are presented comprehensively. These techniques are not only relevant to space applications, but also to other safety critical systems, including control in aircraft and motor vehicles. Fault-Tolerance Techniques for Spacecraft Control Computers: systematically discusses cutting-edge fault-tolerance techniques in spacecraft control computers, with an emphasis on engineering practicalities; discusses fundamental and advanced theories and technologies in a logical and easy-to-understand manner; features applications in the fields of spaced aircraft, and motor vehicle engineering; presents research and the accumulated experience of authors who have worked on the Chinese space program for more than three decades. Fault-Tolerance Techniques for Spacecraft Control Computers is intended for engineers and researchers working in the fields of high-reliability and fault-tolerant computing and electronics engineering. It can also serve as a companion text for advanced computing and electronics students. Book jacket.
