Dependable systems

Dependability in Critical Real-Time Systems — the dedicated article brings together the concepts, examples and teaching material.

Ground telemetry software

The ground-dashboard prototype was adapted by Afonso Baldo from John Jones’s White Vest project. Development was suspended. The original MPL 2.0 licence and upstream credit accompany the code.

These reports record the development state of their period, including open design questions.
