Abstract :
Issues concerning spaceborne applications of an optical-disk mass memory system (ODMMS) are investigated through computer simulation. The simulation model is developed according to a current description of ODMMS with certain application restraints. The results are examined in terms of system modularity, multiuser data rate buffering, disk module access, and read/write file management. The conditions and requirements for future disk controller designs are indicated in the simulation results
