The Development of the MAXI Monitoring System

摘要

Our company, SEC, is software company that is specialized for real-time system and involved in space exploration also. We provide control systems of rocket launch, on-board systems and grand-base systems of satellites, taking advantage of our skills in developing real-time systems. We have developed many satellite systems so far, starting from N-I rocket. In this paper, we present the development of the MAXI monitoring system.rnWe have to monitor and control MAXI through the telemetry data while observing for the stable MAXI operation. Therefore, the MAXI telemetry data include not only observation data for scientific purpose, but also the ancillary data as system status. Basically, the monitoring system is required to receive and to display telemetry data continuously in real-time without loss. We have developed the real-time monitoring system to satisfy these requirements. And also, our monitoring system has good look-and-feel and flexibility of the display design, display format and monitored telemetry data.rnWe will report the characteristic of the present monitoring system and the future plan.
