COSMOS Purpose

Comprehensive Open-architecture Space Mission Operations System (COSMOS)

Purpose: To develop a comprehensive open system of software

and hardware tools that supports the design, testing, and operations of one or more spacecraft and is easily adaptable for adding spacecraft and porting to Mission Operations Centers (MOCs) at HSFL, NASA Ames Research Center, and other MOCs. COSMOS is being developed as a collaboration between HSFL

and NASA Ames Research Center under a 3-year NASA EPSCoR grant (2010-2013).


COSMOS Goals Target Audience

Developers and users of (multiple) small satellites Small teams Small budgets

Provide Hardware and Software Framework Hardware and software test bed and simulators Hardware and software building blocks Software elements Industry standards

Support complete satellite lifecycle Design Development Fabrication and Integration Testing Operations
