Abstract:
Embedded systems have become indispensable in the realm of modern space exploration and satellite communication, offering reliable, efficient, and compact solutions to manage the complexities of space missions and satellite networks. These systems play a pivotal role in a wide range of applications, including onboard control, navigation, communication, and data processing. By leveraging advanced technologies such as radiation-hardened components, real-time operating systems, and energy-efficient designs, embedded systems are tailored to withstand the harsh conditions of outer space while ensuring mission success. This paper explores the architecture and design principles of embedded systems tailored for space-grade applications, highlighting key innovations such as AI integration for autonomous decision-making, machine learning for predictive maintenance, and advanced signal processing techniques for efficient communication. It also examines the critical challenges faced by embedded systems, such as power constraints, radiation exposure, scalability, and data security, providing insights into how these limitations are being addressed through cutting-edge research and development.
