Description:

For previous DTU student satellite missions (DTUsat), a number of both onboard and ground segment software components have been developed. In preparation for future stratospheric and space missions, many of these components should be updated or replaced. Some potential projects are:

• Enhancing the real-time kernel FreeRTOS (freertos.org) with condition variables.
• High-level CAN-bus driver interface for FreeRTOS.
• Extending the Posix port of FreeRTOS with various device simulators.
• Port of the RTEMS real-time kernel to BeagleBone Pocket
• Port of the NASA open-source onboard systems Core Flight System (CFS, cfs.gsfc.nasa.gov) to run on a Beaglebone Pocket platform.
• Development of improved infra-structure modules in CFS.
• Rebuilding the DTUsat ground station to act like a SatNogs node (satnogs.org).
• Dedicated ground station component for autonomous monitoring of the first Danish satellite: Ørsted.
• Porting NASA's F-prime onboard system (nasa.github.io/fprime) to run on Beaglebone Pocket and evaluating it.
• Construction of an end-to-end mission system for stratospheric missions

Onboard software development is primarily written in C/C++. Ground segment software is mostly developed in Java and JavaScript/Node.js.

Depending on interest and qualifications, students may work on any of these projects. Feel free to get in contact for details.

Prerequisites:

02158 Concurrent Programming (most projects) 02132 Computer Systems (onboard and protocol projects) 02159 Operating Systems (real-time kernel projects) 02170 Database Systems (recommended for mission control projects)

Keywords: Operating systems, embedded systems, concurrency, software development.

Restrictions: Only a limited number of these projects can be supervised.
