1. Afurther development took place in 2015 with POCKET+. The goal of the POCKET+ algorithm development was to combine performance/stability of chain mode with the robustness of reference mode. The solution was to create and update the mask automatically on-board rather than loading it from the ground. The mask also had to be updated using the following rules:
2. In this paper we showed how this could be exploited in telecommunications satellite control market. After consultation with various telecommunication satellite operators and manufactures the POCKET algorithm was improved to meet their common requirements regarding usability and operability. An end to end breadboard was built using real telecommunication satellite telemetry, on-board hardware and a real mission control system. The system includes all parts necessary to configure and control the behaviour of the on-board algorithm via standard PUS telecommands from the control system. The decompression system has been implemented without making software changes to the mission control system (SCOS 2000).
