Abstract

Abstract Conventional data buses, telemetry links, and sensors using wire harnesses as the transmission media suffer from numerous shortcomings, especially when utilized in spacecraft. This paper describes fiber-optic networks that could be implemented in launch vehicles in the near term. Special emphasis is placed on the increase in reliability that fiber optics affords over conventional cable/wire approaches.
