“…Due to the low signal level for any given frequency, UWB can easily coexist with other RF applications operated in the same frequency spectrum [6]. The pulse duration also allows UWB to be nearly immune against the multi path fading effects experienced within the highly reflective metal enclosures of a spacecraft structure [7]. Compared to other available PHYs for WSNs like the classic 802.15.4 ones, WirelessHART or ISA100.11a, it provides a much higher data rate (up to 27.1 Mbps).…”

Sensor networks based on Impulse-Radio Ultra Wideband (IR-UWB) technology have gained traction in fields where precise localization and robust communication links are required. In spacecraft and launchers these networks can be used to connect sensors to a central on board computer or to provide a communication link between the different subsystems. This contributes to a reduced cable harness, a key driver in overall spacecraft mass and design complexity. This paper presents an application for a launcher mounted multi-camera system based on low power IR-UWB sensor nodes. In combination with a modified highthroughput MAC layer from the IEEE 802.15.4 standard it is able to provide an update rate of multiple frames per second, where traditional sensor network systems would need half a minute to deliver a single frame. In addition, it is not interfering with critical telecommand/telemetry radio links of the launch vehicle due to the nature of the wideband transmission.

“…But also the expected high power outputs of the existing RF systems on board can corrupt the communication of the onboard wireless system. For this reason, a detailed analysis of the launcher specific EMC requirements and a test campaign need to be conducted [7].…”

“…The considered WSN used the IEEE 802.15.4a UWB technology to provide a multipath immune transmission inside a highly reflective enclosure and minimize interference with RF sensitive systems on board the ISS. The prototype used an STM32L151 low‐power micro controller, and a DW1000 system‐on‐chip radio module that integrated the IEEE 802.15.4a PHY UWB standard with a UWB chip antenna and operating in a frequency range of 3.5 GHz up to 6.5 GHz. The EMC tests showed that the solution did not interfere with the on‐board equipment, but the susceptibility test showed malfunctions during the induction of an interfering signal in the UWB bandwidth.…”

“…In this context, the scope of this paper is to present the prototyping of an intra‐spacecraft UWB wireless solution that meets the system requirements of the Euglena and Combined Regenerative Organic Food Production in Space (Eu:CROPIS) mission . Moreover, the solution is validated for real traffic generated by on‐board and payload instrumentation, raising the technical readiness level (TRL) from the proof‐of‐concept level (TRL3) reached in WiSAT‐1() and Wireless Compose() research projects, to the functional verification level in a laboratory environment (TRL4).…”

Summary This paper presents the design, testing, and validation of a ultra‐wideband (UWB) wireless solution to replace wired intra‐spacecraft communications with wireless communications. The system requirements are provided in the framework of the Eu:CROPIS mission and the wired intra‐spacecraft communication system is replaced with a two‐segment wireless network. As such, distinct sets of UWB gateways and nodes are prototyped to interface with the on‐board entities and properly handle the data transmission in the resulting spacecraft and payload wireless networks. To accomplish these tasks, a custom radio module integrated into the prototypes was designed to provide the appropriate UWB RF front‐end and run a custom‐built communication stack. The viability of the solution was tested in laboratory conditions. For the test scenarios, sensor data are acquired in the payload network and forwarded as SpaceWire packets over the spacecraft network. Experimental test results indicate the suitability of the proposed solution in terms of delay and data integrity for implementing intra‐spacecraft wireless communications.
