The book "Design of a Reliable Processing System for Satellite Data" by Francesco Lazzarotto offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and solutions in the field of data processing systems for satellite missions. In an environment characterized by extreme conditions, the reliability of the hardware and software components used is of crucial importance. The work highlights the risks posed to electronic components by harsh environmental conditions and discusses the difficulties associated with repairing systems during a mission. By presenting a specific case study, it introduces models, methods, and software solutions developed to address common issues in satellite technology. The book places particular emphasis on the importance of a well-dimensioned control and reconfiguration system, which can help minimize the causes of failures and maintain the functionality of the system.
