Abstract

The current methods of building spacecraft often involve partners spread across several countries developing sub-systems separately. Only once these sub-systems are complete are they brought together and integration testing performed. Faults identified at this late stage of development can be very costly.

This paper describes the SpaceWire Internet Tunnel, a means of connecting SpaceWire sub-systems which are geographically separated. Using this Tunnel, in
tegration testing of SpaceWire systems may be performed at an earlier stage, drastically reducing the effects of any faults identified. The advantages of using a SpaceWire Internet Tunnel are listed, the hardware and software of the Tunnel is described and the results of tests performed on the Tunnel are presented.
