摘要

Abstract

The ZDPS-1A pico-satellite designed in Zhejiang University with a mass of 3.5 kg and a power consumption of less than 3.5 W is the smallest satellite in China up to now. The housekeeping system (HKS) is the core part of ZDPS-1A. The reliability of HKS has an important influence on the safety of the satellite. Traditional fault-tolerant methods do not apply to ZDPS-1A due to such pico-satellite characteristics as light weight

compactness in size

energy saving

and high integration. This paper deals with a highly-reliable

low-cost design for HKS using industrial devices. The reliable strategies of HKS include a dual modular redundancy scheme

CPU warm backup

a static triple modular redundancy scheme

and two-level watchdogs. Recursive experiments

special tests

and environmental tests show that this system meets the design target. This design has already been applied to ZDPS-1A

which was launched to execute in-orbit tasks on Sept. 22

2010. To date

the satellite has been in a proper state for more than 15 months.
