In space travel, there is an ever-increasing demand for computing and communication power. This is the only way to realise the pre-processing of large amounts of data from demanding experiments and payloads or complex image processing for robot control of autonomous docking manoeuvres. On 1 July 2016, the third phase of the OBC-SA project started, in which a modular architecture for such future on-board computer systems is being developed.

On July 1, 2016, the starting signal was given for the project "Basic System Industry 4.0" (BaSys 4.0) funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The aim is to develop an "operating system" for production facilities that supports the efficient changeability of a production process as a central challenge of the fourth industrial revolution. The project is funded with 12 million euros and runs for three years. The coordinator is the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental…
