Our astronaut Sophie Adenot shared this video on her social media channels with the caption:
[EN] Day 117, orbit 1811 â In this timelapse, Iâm installing the Columbus Data Management infrastructure (CDMI), successor to the Multi-Purpose Communication Computer (MPCC) đ . Think of it as replacing an aging internet box at home with a next-generation system: faster, more powerful, more reliable!
Columbus is an amazing laboratory, but to make the most of the science conducted onboard, researchers on the ground need to be able to monitor and send commands in real-time to their experiments, and of course to downlink data đĄ.
CDMI aims at providing real-time communication and reliable downlink between ground teams and numerous payloads in Columbus, over LAN or Wi-Fi!
Science is what drives us during a mission, but behind every piece of data sent back to Earth, there are many systems quietly at work. Many thanks to all the engineers and technicians who make research run smoothly on board đ
[FR] Jour 117, orbite 1811 â Dans ce timelapse, je suis en train dâinstaller le CDMI (Columbus Data Management Infrastructure), qui vient remplacer le MPCC (Multi-Purpose Communication Computer) đ . ConcrĂštement, câest comme remplacer sa box internet par un systĂšme de nouvelle gĂ©nĂ©ration : plus rapide, plus puissant, plus fiable !
Columbus est un fantastique laboratoire de recherche, mais pour tirer pleinement parti de la science rĂ©alisĂ©e Ă bord, les chercheurs doivent pouvoir surveiller leurs expĂ©riences et envoyer des commandes en temps rĂ©el depuis le sol â et bien sĂ»r rĂ©cupĂ©rer les donnĂ©es đĄ.
Le CDMI a pour objectif dâassurer ces communications en temps rĂ©el, ainsi que la transmission fiable des donnĂ©es entre les Ă©quipes au sol et de nombreuses charges utiles dans Columbus, via le rĂ©seau local ou le Wi-Fi !
Notre mission est avant tout scientifique, mais pour chaque donnĂ©e transmise sur Terre, il y a de nombreux systĂšmes qui travaillent en coulisses. Un immense merci Ă tous les ingĂ©nieurs et techniciens qui permettent Ă la recherche de se dĂ©rouler sereinement Ă bord đ
