=========



KubOS is an open-source software stack for satellites.



The KubOS system is designed to take care of every aspect of a satellite’s flight

software.



Rather than operating as a single, monolithic entity, KubOS is comprised of a series

of independent, yet interoperating components.



 






- Mission applications control and execute the logic necessary to accomplish mission goals

- Services expose hardware and system functionality with a controlled and uniform interface

- Kubos Linux provides the base operating system and the drivers needed to communicate with connected hardware devices
