Using Linux as an Embedded OS for Space Industry

Explore the use of Linux as an embedded operating system in the space industry through this conference talk. Delve into the state-of-the-art applications of Linux in space missions, including the SpaceX Falcon9's redundant system. Learn about the collaborative effort led by CNES and major European space industry players to develop a specialized Linux distribution for spacecraft and payloads. Discover the key considerations in adapting Linux for space missions, such as security, safety, certification, footprint optimization, and support for space standards like SpaceWire. Gain insights into the project's main steps, including partitioning using hypervisors and community source repository management. Examine the Linux4Space distribution, its space-specific features, and the project's outcomes. Understand the future goals and next steps in advancing Linux adoption in the space industry, including the LVCUGEN architecture and on-board factory use-case.
