Spacecraft now on the drawing board at DOD and NASA will require increasingly sophisticated data-processing and communication systems. Primary examples are the spacecraft supporting the strategic defense initiative (SDI) and the NASA space station project. Emerging from an era of highly centralized on-board command and telemetry systems with small central computers, the spacecraft data system of the future may contain multiple distributed computers, multidirectional data communications networks of differing speeds and message characteristics, mass storage subsystems for program storage and global data bases, and subsystems with varying levels of embedded intelligence.
