Abstract: NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center (GSFC) employs standard avionics hardware and software architectures. Hardware architectures include GMSA (Goddard Modular Smallsat Architecture), MUSTANG (Modular Unified Space Technology Avionics for Next Generation), SpaceCube. The spaceflight software architecture is based on cFS (Core Flight System). Future driving requirements for avionics architectures include increase sensor data rates, increased onboard processing, autonomous applications, and distribu…
