A First Step Towards Using Real-Time Java for Spacecraft On-Board Software

This paper outlines directions for an evaluation of RealTime Java suitability to be used in ESA spacecraft onboard software. It starts with an overview of related existing standards and ongoing standardisation efforts, as well as several use cases in the avionics and space domain. Then it identifies steps which should be followed to research how particular Java features match particular requirements of different spacecraft on-board software application domains. The paper takes into account the goals of the upcoming ESA Real-Time Java Assessment Project [1].
