The Core Flight System (cFS): NASA Quality Flight Software to Power Science and Exploration Available to the World

The presentation is planned to be a continuation of two previous discussions completed at the FSW Workshop regarding the cFS Test Framework (CTF) and Engineering Data Sheets (EDS). The presentation will also cover the latest advancements in cFS, including: 1. Quick into to cFS 2. An overview of our software release process + Git repo 3. Release of EDS files for the cFE + open-source apps 4. Overview of how to independently verify EDS files using CTF + what they can be used for. 5. Future plans for cFS. This presentation complements the talk on configuration management of distributed cFS repos, to be presented by Tam Ngo from Johnson Space Center.

Plan Execution Interchange Language (PLEXIL) Software User's Manual

Plan Execution Interchange Language (PLEXIL) is a Core Flight System (or Core Flight Software) (cFS) based application, developed by the Autonomy Operating System project at NASA. cFS is open-source, reusable flight software, also developed by NASA and targeted to space missions. PLEXIL runs within the cFS framework, and is a wrapper integrating the open source PLEXIL Executive into the cFE (core Flight Executive) infrastructure. Software features include: Executes PLEXIL plans stored on local file system; Can be event-driven or clock-driven; and, Intended for "soft real time" discrete control.

Developing A Dependable Multi-Agent Rover Swarm Using cFS

The future of space exploration lies in cooperative autonomous systems. Ensuring their high integrity remains a challenge. The Robust Software Engineering group at NASA Ames Research Center has been developing the Troupe project to explore the challenges with developing and assuring high integrity of cooperative autonomous robotic systems. In particular, Troupe aims to develop a swarm of autonomous rovers capable of mapping unknown terrain and assure their high integrity using the advanced V&V tools developed in the group. In this paper, we present the evolution of the design of Troupe. We focus on the lessons learned in developing and assuring the rover swarm using core Flight System (cFS). In particular, we discuss the benefits and challenges in applying model-based development to develop the rover swarm.
