As Space missions become more complex, legacy communication standards like MIL-STD-1553, SpaceWire, and CAN-FD can no longer meet growing demands for bandwidth, determinism, and flexibility. Modern spacecraft require a unified, scalable, and certifiable backbone capable of reliably supporting mixed-critical workloads.
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) provide that foundation. TSN brings deterministic, time-aware Ethernet communication, while SYSGO’s PikeOS ensures predictable execution through strict temporal and spatial partitioning. Together, they enable control loops, payload data, and services to coexist on a single, dependable network.
This whitepaper presents the native integration of SOC-E’s FPGA-based TSN Endpoint (ETSN) directly into PikeOS—removing Linux dependencies and creating a fully deterministic, certification-ready platform. A satellite communication demo shows how prioritized traffic remains protected even under congestion.
