Explore the development of Space Grade Linux (SGL), an initiative under the ELISA Project designed to create a reusable, safety-aware Linux foundation for spaceflight systems in this 36-minute conference talk. Learn how the space industry is turning to open source solutions to meet increasing launch cadence and tightening development cycles. Discover the three foundational focus areas of SGL: kernel configuration that defines a shared starting point for space-focused Linux systems with emphasis on predictability, determinism, and traceability; booting into Linux with exploration of safety-critical implications of system bring-up and strategies for improving reliability in space-grade deployments; and userspace strategy discussing early-stage decisions around minimal runtime environments, supervision, and safe, maintainable userspace design. Get a hands-on overview of current available resources in the GitHub repository, including a Yocto-based reference implementation and working kernel configuration. Understand how to contribute to this project through technical contributions, architecture discussions, or community collaboration as the space industry embraces open source technology for mission-critical applications.
