In the ever-evolving landscape of aerospace engineering and mission-critical operations, the MESMO (Modular Embedded Systems framework for Mission Operations) project stands as a robust and adaptable solution designed to address the complexities of orchestrating a multitude of subsystems. In the pursuit of streamlined communication, MESMO leverages the F’ (pronounced f prime) software framework, a modular and scalable framework tailored for the harsh demands of space missions.
The Objective of this project is to study in depth the F' framework and assess whether it could be used for real time embedded systems orchestration and management for ground applications. To do so, the MESMO project combines a diverse array of hardware components collaborates coherently, creating an integrated ecosystem. Arduino-based microcontrollers, GPS modules, imaging systems, and other specialized devices work in unison, forming a network orchestrated by a Raspberry Pi 4. This central processing unit serves as the nucleus, communicating with each subsystem through a combination of UART, I2C, and TCP protocols.
To comprehensively assess the MESMO project's performance and communication efficiency, a meticulously crafted testbench has been implemented. This testbench analysis various scenarios and subsystem configurations, particularly focusing on the time elapsed from message reception to command execution.
