Abstract

The Data Collection Experiment (DCE) of the scientific mission DAVID (Data and Video Interactive Distribution) of the Italian Space Agency will pioneer the use of the W-band for telecommunications experiments. In particular, a quasi error-free collection of high volumes of data will be achieved through the exploitation of a W-band link between remote or virtually remote sites and the DAVID satellite. To complete the end-to-end transfer, data will be transparently forwarded through Ka-band links provided by the ARTEMIS satellite to ARTEMIS earth stations and then to the Internet. This paper proposes a coding scheme to achieve a quasi error-free end-to-end data transfer and a method to check the presence/absence of errors on all the involved links.
