> The proposed activity is to evaluate the usage of Rust programming language in space applications,
> The design of the system will be guided to support potential future qualification activities.
> This application will showcase the viability of the developed RTOS and provide input to a Lessons Learned report, describing the encountered issues, potential problem and improvement areas, usage recommendations and proposed way forward.
Looks like it's not intended for real applications, but instead to gain some experience. What better way to ensure that you don't ship the prototype than by doing it on hardware that is similar but different enough to ensure that it won't be used in production.
Just a guess though!
- sesm 3y agoI hope they also publish the Lessons Learned report mentioned above, would be an interesting read.
