Developing And Securing Software For Small Space Systems, Brandon L. Shirley
Developing And Securing Software For Small Space Systems, Brandon L. Shirley
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The space systems industry is moving towards smaller multi-vendor satellites, known as Small Space. This shift is driven by economic and technological factors that necessitate hardware and software components that are modular, reusable, and secure. This research addresses two problems associated with the development of modular, reusable, and secure space systems: developing software for space systems (the Development Problem) and securing space systems (the Security Problem). These two problems are interrelated and this research addresses them together.
The Development Problem encompasses challenges that space systems developers face as they try to address the constraints induced by reduced budgets, …
