Identified Interrupts (Nominal)

• Sun Presence * Rate: 0.33 Hz @ 20 RPM

• Uplink (Codeblock Ready) Rate: 16 Hz @ 1Kbps

• Downlink (FIFO 1/2 full) Rate: 9.9 Hz @ 100Kbps, 0.099Hz @ 1Kbps

• 1 Hz Clock * Rate: 1 Hz

• Time Correlation Rate: once every 162 Sec (0.006 Hz)

• Transponder Tlm Data Ready * Rate: 7 Hz (TBR, 7 register reads to get status)

• Magnetometer Input Rate: TBD (1 Hz)

• CCNT Packet Input * Rate TBD (~16 Hz peak, C&DH has flow ctrl)

• CCNT Packet Output * Rate TBD ( <= 1 Hz)

• CCNT Science Event Rate: twice per orbit, max

• S/C Analog Sampling Complete * Rate: TBD (0.1 Hz avg, governed by FSW)

• VEC 1 Analog Sampling Complete Rate: once every 5 Sec (0.2 Hz)

• VEC 2 Analog Sampling Complete Rate: once every 5 Sec (0.2 Hz)

• Thruster Pulse Complete (TBR) Rate: TBD

• O/S Scheduler * Rate TBD (20 Hz)

Peak interrupt loading is governed by the external devices being operated. Worst case interrupt loading ( * ) is estimated to be 47 Hz peak (45 Hz average) and assumes neither Uplink or Downlink are operating while CCNT is performing attitude solutions during its validation operations. RF is not expected to be active due to power constraints.

FSW Configuration Management

• All work products will be managed for configuration

• Web-based Discrepancy Reports during S/W development

- Primary communication of FSW changes

- DRs used throughout life-cycle & trace all changes to work products

• Web-based Document Center for distributing documentation

• Source Codes maintained by developers until Build Test

- After delivery to Build Test, team manages all changes via CM plan

- Prior to Build 2 delivery, Development Team manages change

- After Build 2 is delivered to Project, manage change via Project CCB

• Commercial CM Tool to manage source codes and documents

- Document access per Project plan

- Source codes access per NASA requirements

GSFC FSW Test Planning• Requirements and Design tested informally by peer review, Formally

tested at FSW SRR/PDR and FSW CDR

• Generally, Heritage Components tested for Build Integration

- Walkthrus and Inspections are not planned for heritage components

- However, all new I/Fs will be unit tested

• New, non-Heritage S/W Components will be fully tested

- Subjected to Formal Inspection (NASA-STD-2202-93)

- Unit Tests after inspection.

• Developers Test thru board integration, independent test team performs Build Verification & supports Acceptance and S/C I&T

• Build Verification Test Plan exists in draft form

• Build Acceptance Test Plan is TBR

• Regression Test performed at all levels appropriate to the change

GSFC FSW Test Planning -- IV&V• NASA’S W. Va IV&V Facility will provide:

- Software engineering process definition, implementation and improvement

- Analysis of mission-critical software and documentation, focusing on spacecraft flight software and external communications and instrument interfaces

• Independent review of Product Development Plan, FSW Requirements, CM Plan, Test Plan.

- Identification of strategies for mitigating Project risks associated with software

- Catastrophic/Critical/High Risk Functions List (CFL)
