List, Early Saturday morning a Space/X dragon rocket launched with STP-H6 on board. I wrote some drivers and was on the software architecture board for the software on the CIB, communications interface bus on that system. There are several (9 if I recall) science experiments that all communicate to ISS (International Space Station) networks through our common communications interface. This is the first time that I've sent Xenomai to space.
The cargo was successfully delivered to the ISS about 12 hours ago. Because of our use of Xenomai, we were able to reduce the size of buffers in the FPGA which freed up block ram for other things (CPU cache among them) and made the system perform better overall. Seeing this arrive at the ISS after over a year of testing is a great achievement for us at Goddard Space Flight Center and for the Xenomai project. Thanks to all. Especially to Philippe who answers many of my emails privately. ;) I hope I can continue to contribute to the Xenomai project in my own small way. Steven
