NanoSat MO Framework
The NanoSat MO Framework (NMF) is an open-source software framework for small satellites based on CCSDS Mission Operations services.
The framework supports the development of space software in form of Apps that can be operated from ground. The NanoSat MO Framework supports missions by facilitating the development, distribution, and deployment of Apps on satellite missions.
The NanoSat MO Framework facilitates the monitoring and control of the satellite and also provides a set of services for software management, enabling the onboard Apps to be installed, uninstalled and upgraded remotely from ground.
The NanoSat MO Framework is currently flying on-board of ESA's OPS-SAT mission and it is being integrated with ESA's Phi-Sat-2 mission.
The development of the NanoSat MO Framework began in late 2014, with the European Space Agency recognizing the need for a standardized software framework to support the development and operations of small satellites. The initial goal of the project was to create a software framework for nanosatellites based on CCSDS Mission Operations services inspired by today's smartphone technologies in order to reduce the time and cost required to bring these satellites into orbit. The research and development was performed by the European Space Agency in partnership with Graz University of Technology.
Over the next few years, the NanoSat MO Framework underwent significant development and testing, with input from a wide range of stakeholders in the space industry and academia. The framework was designed to be modular and flexible, allowing space missions to easily customize it for their specific requirements. In 2017, the first version of the NanoSat MO Framework was released as open-source software, making it freely available to the space industry and academic community.
The NMF was first flown in space on-board of the European Space Agency's OPS-SAT mission, which was launched on December 18, 2019. OPS-SAT is a CubeSat designed to test new technologies for space missions and serve as a testbed for the verification and validation of space systems. During the OPS-SAT mission, the NMF was used to demonstrate a range of capabilities, including the ability to deploy and run software Apps on the spacecraft, to interact with other on-board systems and sensors, and to perform data acquisition, storage, and downlink transfers. The mission was a success, with the NMF demonstrating its effectiveness and utility in the end-to-end orchestration of space software and operations.
In 2020, the NanoSat MO Framework was selected to be used in the upcoming ESA's Phi-Sat-2 mission. The mission will run Artificial Intelligence directly on board for Earth Observation purposes. The NanoSat MO Framework will facilitate the development of the AI Apps and it will support their whole life-cycle including development, deployment, and operations.
