Abstract

This paper presents a complete software design, development, and implementation for an automated radio telescope application. The software design consists of front-end, back-end, mobile application, control room, and virtual reality components. This software has been developed incrementally for the last four years. Each development was tested with simulated data first then with the hardware and/or with users to confirm the robustness. The software was tested on the actual physical radio telescope using an inertial testing frame with a 363 kg load. The test results confirmed that the control room software successfully communicated with the sensor network, control room hardware, mobile application, and back-end to run the telescope in an automated mode. The mobile application interacted with the control room application to control the telescope remotely. A virtual reality simulation was effective in understanding the telescope operation and demonstrating its capabilities.

自动射电望远镜的软件设计、开发与实现

本文介绍了一个自动化射电望远镜应用程序的完整软件设计、开发和实现。软件设计由前端、后端、移动应用、控制室、虚拟现实等组件组成。在过去的四年里，这个软件一直在逐步开发。每次开发都先用模拟数据进行测试，然后再用硬件和/或用户进行测试，以确认其稳健性。该软件在实际的物理射电望远镜上进行了测试，使用了一个负载为363公斤的惯性测试架。测试结果证实，控制室软件成功地与传感器网络、控制室硬件、移动应用程序和后端通信，以自动化模式运行望远镜。移动应用程序与控制室应用程序交互，实现对望远镜的远程控制。通过虚拟现实仿真，可以有效地了解望远镜的运行情况并展示其性能。
