MaMMoTH-Up represents a permanent adaptable experiment opportunity located on the ARIANE5 (A5) Vehicle Equipment Bay. Protected by a dedicated container design it shall make extensive use of Components-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware and advanced software to achieve its ambitious data collection, processing and compression tasks. This COTS approach is secured by tailored dependability technics to ensure a reliable operation in the demanding space environment.
To downlink the gathered, processed and compressed data MaMMoTH will make use of the A5 telemetry subsystem acting as a peripheral data acquisition unit once a standard A5 mission is completed. A future application also on ARIANE6 is envisaged.
