    DMS-R: ESA's Data Management System

    DMS-R: ESA's Data Management System

    DMS-R, in the Russian Service Module Zvezda, is a set of computers, that provides for the overall control, mission and failure management of the entire Russian segment of the International Space Station.

    The DMS-R performs functions as:

    • Guidance, navigation and control for the entire International Space Station
    • Onboard systems and subsystems control
    • Mission management with supervisory control by the on-board and ground crews
    • Failure management and recovery
    • Time distribution, time tagging and synchronisation
    • Data acquisition and control for on-board systems and experiments
    • Exchange of data and commands with the other parts of the International Space Station

    The ESA-provided on board units are:

    • 2 Fault Tolerant Computers: a Control Computer and a Terminal Computer
    • 2 Control Posts for command and control by the crew, for commanding experiments and ERA

    The DMS-R was developed by ESA with an industrial team lead by Astrium in Bremen, Germany.

    The application software for the on-board computers was developed by the Russian Zvezda contractor, RSC Energia, using an ESA-provided ground system - the hardware and software environment supporting software design, development, simulation, test and validation.

    The Russian Service Module, with the ESA-developed D-MSR, was launched in July 2000.
