What: Space Flight Software Roundtable Dinner
When: Thursday, December 9, 5:30 PM
Where: California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, CA
Why: With the advent of faster processors and advanced hardware architectures, the modern spacecraft is highly reliant upon flight software for mission success. Software is integral to most of the spacecraft subsystems ranging from power to propulsion to instrument operations. Additionally, spacecraft developers are moving beyond providing only infrastructure to creating applications that can revolutionize how these vehicles are operated and how data is processed on-board. This roundtable will be an opportunity to discuss current flight architectures, novel approaches to mission solutions, and techniques for flight software development, integration, test and verification in an informal and open setting.
Please note that seating is limited and advanced registration at www.flightsoftware.org is required.
