MSG (Animation)


Description

MSG implements a general-purpose message-handling facility. Any task can use MSG to format and queue a message for forwarding to the spacecraft. The message may be solicited (e.g., "command foo completed successfully") or unsolicited (e.g., "temperature bar exceeded yellow high limit").

Tasks sends messages to MSG, which forwards them (as packets) to the Spacecraft.
