      COMED — Constellation and Multimedia Development Demonstrations
      
      
         
          | Overview | 
          The 
            COMED framework is oriented towards factors, which are essential for 
            the marketability of future satellite systems like: 
            
              - fast packet switching through an asynchronous transmission technique, 
              
 - on-board processing, 
              
 - intersatellite-links, 
              
 - development of technologies for serial production of sub-systems 
                and components, and 
              
 - reduction of the overall mass of the satellite. 
            
  
             The Satellite Group @ Fraunhofer FOKUS.cats takes part in the 
              on-board processing project, coordinated by Bosch (TeSat GmbH). 
              Its main role includes studies and basic developments in the areas 
              ATM switching and on-board processing. 
              The COMED project flyer is available 
              as a pdf-file.
             A detailed description of the project's scope 
              and the involvement 
              of Fraunhofer FOKUS can be found here.

          Project 
            results were published in internal status reports and technical notes. 
            The corresponding bibliography

          | Developments | 
          As 
            the role of the Satellite Group @ Fraunhofer FOKUS.cats was with providing 
            studies to the consortium, developments did not directly evolve from 
            the project. |
