Which operating system is used in spacecraft?
Which operating system/systems is currently being used in spacecrafts? Was
FlightLinux implemented as the standard? Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. There is as far as I know no "standard". The Shuttle uses HAL/S and I don't think you can really descibe it as having an OS. Many spacecraft have software written directly to the hardware with no intervening OS. |

The four PASS computers have a primitive OS called GCOS (don't remember what it stands for), mostly written in AP-101S assembly language. I don't think the BFS has an OS per se. -- JRF Reply-to address spam-proofed - to reply by E-mail, check "Organization" (I am not assimilated) and think one step ahead of IBM. |

I don't think the BFS has an OS per se. Is that a relative of the GCOS (derived from "GEC Operating System" IIRC) that used to run on Honeywell large systems? -- Dave Kenworthy ----------------------------- Changes aren't permanent - but change is! |

I guess not, having now read the 'FCOS' correction! -- Dave Kenworthy ----------------------------- Changes aren't permanent - but change is! |

Most flight computers, like most computers that are not 'general purpose', have something that Linux folks, let alone Windows folks, would not recognize as an OS.

The unmanned missions Mars Pathfinder, Deep Space 1, and Deep Impact use vxWorks. (The first two have already finished.

The shuttle carries a number of laptop computers that run on Windows variants (I'm not sure if the latest version is Win98 or Win2k). The ISS uses Solaris, I think. -- Michael R.
