Design, implementation, and testing of unpacking system for telemetry data of artificial satellites: Case study: EGYSAT1

Abstract

Space industry is one of the most important industries in the modern age and used to measure the advancement of countries in the world. Egypt will launch the first satellite is designed and manufactured by Egyptian hands. In this chapter, the proposed unpacking system is developed to introduce monitoring system for the operators in the ground station through three main modules; first, unpacking module, which unpack the received packets of telemetry data from satellite to decode and display this data in readable way to the operators in the ground station. Second, limit checking module for early anomaly detection and third module is developed based on using data mining techniques for predicting the health of battery and estimate remaining useful lifetime. One of the important characteristics of this system is the flexibility of editing that makes it as a generic model compatible with any structure of cube satellite.
