Construction strategy research on new generation central computer system of launch centre

Abstract

Measure and launch, TT&C (telemetry, track and command), communication, meteorology and duty subsystems of current launch centre are all independent in information acquisition, transmission, processing and application. Experiment and launch hall and command hall are separately constructed. As the frequency of launch missions increased and refined degree of system management improved, current launch centre faces the challenges of flat command to future launch missions, enhancing economic performance and refined management. To solve these problems, the next generation launch centre is designed following new construction strategies including development of uniform command and decision support software, construction of integrated information processing and application platform, unification of software development model and information communication standard. The construction strategies are described in detail in the paper and evaluated from aspects of mission organization, technical progress and users' requirements. © 2013 Tsinghua University Press, and Springer-Verlag.
