RTOS deal for European software defined satellite
Summary
Thales Alenia Space is to deploy the PikeOS real time operating system (RTOS) from Sysgo in a European ARM-based software defined satellite. PikeOS for MPU, developed in Germany, was chosen for the Space Inspire (SPI) line as it provides multiple independent levels of security (MILS) to run applications of mixed criticality. It is running on a multicore processor developed by STMicroelectronics and built on a 28nm silicon on insulator (SOI) process with embedded FPGA. Space Inspire is a software defined telecommunication satellite that supports full reconfiguration in orbit, extensive hosting capacity, smart operations and cyber security by design. Leveraging on low power multi-core processors to execute simultaneously various applications in a cybersecured MILS and safety environment brings an incredible flexibility and scalability across the Space Inspire product line,” said Etienne Butery, CEO at Sysgo.
