Abstract

Computing environment of space explorer including LEO (Low Earth Orbit), GEO (Geosynchronous Earth Orbit) satellite may be considered as the same category of embedded system on the ground. But with comparison with personal computing environment it is widely accepted that the space computing is outdated and behind of state of the art. Especially file system which is nearly essential item in all ground computing environment including personal computer, workstation and server is rarely used in space explorer till lately. In this paper, a study of ESA PUS (Packet Utilization Standard) and CCSDS (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) community's activity, international trend, and applicable technical application for applying file system in oder to use these standards for utilizing the file system to deep space explorer is described.

LEO (Low Earth Orbit), GEO (Geosynchronous Earth Orbit) 위성을 비롯한 우주 탐사선의 컴퓨팅 환경은 지상의 내장형 시스템(Embedded System)과 동일한 범주로 간주될 수 있으며 개인용, 산업/서버용 컴퓨터와 비교했을 때 비교적 원시적이고 발전 속도도 더뎠다. 특히 개인 컴퓨터 및 서버/워크스테이션에서 필수적으로 사용되고 있는 파일 시스템도 우주 탐사선에는 최근까지 거의 사용되지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 최근에 우주 탐사선에 파일 시스템을 적용하기 위한 유럽 PUS (Packet Utilization Standard)와 CCSDS (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) 커뮤니티의 관련 규격 제정 등 국제적 연구 개발 동향 및 우주 탐사선에 적용가능한 응용 기술 분야에 대한 연구 결과를 기술한다.
