The on-board software architecture and distributed testbed of micro-satellite clusters

摘要

According to the structure and functions of the cluster members, the cluster can be divided into two types. The homogeneous cluster is composed of unified micro-satellites, which have the same functions and structure and the cluster member has equal opportunity to be cluster head which is burdened with interacting with ground stations and another cluster head. While the heterogeneous cluster is composed of micro-satellites, which have different key equipments and act as different roles in the clusters.
