Microelectronic systems for automation of perspective space vehicles

The article considers the major problems of the control unit organization for spacecraft automation equipment. The advantages of transition to the program of microprocessor control by automation for perspective space vehicles are stated. The methods and solutions of the known problems and algorithmic technology plans, as well as the systemic organization of the designed control systems are discussed. The authors propose an integrated approach to the system organization of the on-board control devices based on the application of single-chip microprocessor-based computer systems of high reliability with a dynamically reconfigurable architecture in the digital part, as the central control systems. An example of organization and implementation of a module for stepper motor control system for disclosure of the antenna to operating position is considered, along with the main advantages of the proposed approach on the example of its implementation.
