Conference Information
Spacewire
SpaceWire is a leading onboard data-handling network for use onboard spacecraft. It is simple to implement and use, and is being deployed on many space missions.
Aims / Scope of Conference
The International SpaceWire Conference aims to bring together SpaceWire product designers, hardware engineers, software engineers, system developers and mission specialists interested in and working with SpaceWire to share the latest ideas and developments related to SpaceWire technology. The conference is targeted at the full SpaceWire community including both academics and industrialists.
Conference Location
The International SpaceWire Conference will be held in the House of Scientists, St. Petersburg, Russia.
Technical Programme
Sessions are dedicated to the following topics:
- SpaceWire missions and applications, which covers missions using SpaceWire, how SpaceWire has been used on existing or planned spacecraft and other applications of SpaceWire.
- SpaceWire components which covers devices supporting the SpaceWire Standard such as sensor devices, electronic components, ASICs & FPGAs, cables and connectors.
- SpaceWire onboard equipment and software, which covers products supporting the SpaceWire Standard including onboard equipment, instruments and related onboard software.
- SpaceWire test and verification, which covers the test and verification of SpaceWire components, equipment and systems including FPGA/ASIC validation techniques, cable/connector testing and approaches to system level test.
- SpaceWire networks and protocols, which covers network architectures, configuration, discovery and "plug and play" concepts, higher-level protocols for SpaceWire and related software designs and issues.
- SpaceWire standardisation, which covers the SpaceWire Standard, new protocols being prepared for standardisation and candidates for future standardisation.

Sponsors
The sponsors of the 2010 International SpaceWire Conference are:
SUAI
- The St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation (SUAI). The St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation (SUAI) is the technology university dedicated to aerospace technologies education and development. Founded in 1941, nowadays it is one of the leading technology universities of Russia, with 11 faculties and 12 research institutes, and approximately 15 thousand students including several hundred foreign students.
The Institute of High-Performance Computer and Network Technologies (IHPCNT) is one of the R & D institutes at SUAI. The IHPCNT was launched in 2003 on the base of High-Performance Microprocessor Systems Lab. The core team of the IHPCNT has been in R & D in the fields of computer architectures and networks since the 1970’s-1980’s. The present IHPCNT staff includes over 40 people, with a good balance of experienced professors and young investigators, post-graduate and MSc students. It runs R & D with government grants, for Russian avionics, space and electronic industry companies, and has collaboration with ESTEC/ESA collaboration and R & D contracts with global companies: Intel, Nokia, Cadence, MIPI Alliance. IHPCNT incorporates also the Laboratory for Systems-on-Chip (sponsored by Intel and Cadence) and the Laboratory for Embedded Computing for Mobile Communications (sponsored by Nokia).
European Space Agency
- The European Space Agency is Europe's gateway to space. Its mission is to shape the
development of Europe's space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to
deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe. ESA drove and funded the development of the
SpaceWire standard. ESA is using SpaceWire on several missions including Bepi Colombo,
GAIA and Earth Care.
NASA
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States of America.
NASA's mission is to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery, and aeronautics research. SpaceWire is being designed into the James Webb Space Telescope, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, GEOS-R and other missions, and is currently in orbit in the SWIFT spacecraft.
JAXA
- Japanese Aerospace eXploration Agency is Japan's core organization for aerospace
technology, which promotes consistent activities, from basic research to technology development
and utilization. JAXA aims to pursue the enormous possibilities in space and aviation,
and challenge various research and development fields in the aim of "Sustainable Development"
in order to contribute to peace and happiness for all mankind. JAXA is using SpaceWire on
the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter and NeXT.
Space Technology Centre
- Space Technology Centre, University of Dundee - A world leading centre for the development
of SpaceWire technology. The SpaceWire standard was written by University of Dundee
with input from spacecraft engineers across Europe. SpaceWire intellectual property, chips
and software being used for several international space missions was developed in the
Space Technology Centre. STAR-Dundee (www.star-dundee.com) is a
spin-out from the Space Technology Centre.
