The objective of this paper is to show how digital signal processing experiment(DSPE) was designed and to present its experimental results in orbit and on the ground. The multi-missional and flexible DSPE was designed in a reliable manner. Among several experiments executed in orbit and on the ground, a high-speed(19.2kbps) software modulator experiment was discussed in this paper. A 32bit floating-type TMS320C30, which was developed for commercial purposes, was used on LEO micro-satellites, KITSAT-1 and KITSAT-2. This digital signal processor(DSP) can be applied to the various payloads of the next generation satellites.
