Fractionated spacecraft systems require sophisticated software architectures that can handle dynamic cluster composition, network constraints, and security isolation. This work is innovative in combining Interface Definition Language concepts with CORBA communication patterns to provide flexible, reusable component abstractions that enable rapid development and deployment of space mission applications.
This paper describes a model-driven software component framework for fractionated spacecraft that addresses challenges of developing distributed real-time applications for resource-constrained space environments. The framework provides support for component-based design, deployment configuration, and runtime system integration with emphasis on fault management and security.
The framework demonstrates a complete model-driven development process from component specification through deployment and runtime execution. The approach enables developers to create reusable software components with well-defined interactions while maintaining support for fault isolation, security constraints, and dynamic system reconfiguration.
