Press Releases

SYSGO now provides a certification kit that enables customers to build space applications based on PikeOS and the SPARC architecture (LEON4). Among others, this kit includes instructions and artifacts for certification. This allows safety-critical applications to be realized in which the protection of astronauts can be guaranteed. Together with its security certification according to Common Criteria at the very high EAL 5+ level in version 5.1.3, PikeOS thus offers all-round protection and is therefore the most secure operating system on the market for space applications. PikeOS' hypervisor functionality, which is also covered by the certification, enables the consolidation of systems so that mixed-critical systems can be built that save costs, space, energy and weight. For example, flight control, gateway and monitoring can run in parallel, safely and securely separated from each other in time and space. This and the restriction-free export make PikeOS an attractive solution for NewSpace and hence for commercial and classic space travel in general.

"We are proud to contribute to the safety in space by delivering the PikeOS technology with the highest safety certification level ECSS Cat. A. We want to provide our customers with the best possible foundation for their embedded space systems looking forward to fostering more space travels with astronauts on board", says Etienne Butery, CEO of SYSGO.

More information about the real-time operating system and hypervisor PikeOS 5.1.3 and the supported safety and security levels can be found at www.sysgo.com/pikeos
