AI Technical Summary
Existing satellite software processing methods cannot effectively utilize resources when data upload rates are low, rely excessively on nodes, are risky, have concentrated functions, and are difficult to iterate.
The satellite software adopts a microservice architecture, which is divided into four microservice units: self-management, task management, file management, software version management, and software operation management. These units interact with each other through a lightweight communication protocol, enabling independent development and expansion.
It effectively reduces overall software risk, improves resource utilization, supports file differential and compression, achieves high availability and scalability, and simplifies on-orbit maintenance.
