DMS-R: ESA's Data Management System for the Russian Segment of the ISS
The DMS-R, installed in the Russian Service Module 'Zvezda', is the set of onboard computers, their avionics and software that provide for the overall control, mission and failure management of the entire Russian segment of the ISS.
The DMS-R performs functions as:
- Guidance, navigation and control for the entire ISS,
- 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 ISS
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 has been developed by ESA with an industrial team lead by ASTRIUM (Bremen, Germany).
The application software for the on-board computers has been developed by the Russian Zvesda 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 succesfully launched in July 2000.
