Description

X2000 is the nickname for NASA’s Advanced Deep Space System Development Program (ADSSDP). X2000 will deliver a series of flight and ground systems for flying outer planets and other space missions; as well as develop and bring to bear technologies that enable and enhance deep space missions.
The program is managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and is structured to deliver a new flight and ground system every 2-3 years. The first delivery will provide systems and equipment to meet the needs of missions to Pluto, Europa, the Sun, a comet, Mars, and potentially, many more. (Future deliveries are yet to be defined.) To achieve this, several overriding objectives have been set down:
1. Modular and scaleable architecture
2. Carry the PC and internet revolution into space
3. Unify flight and ground systems architectures
4. Introduce revolutionary technologies into the delivery
5. Manage the delivery as a project, mindful of cost and schedule
This paper describes the X2000 first delivery, its architecture, and technologies.
