NASA-funded distributed task-planning software demonstrated on-orbit
36 FOMOAfter 13 months of work, software running on spacecraft hardware evaluated a simulated network of four computers, four users and eight services, generated an assignment plan based on compute and link availability, and returned results to Earth. The test advances the decision layer needed for future multi-satellite orbital compute networks.
Why it matters
Moves the orchestration logic for orbital data centers onto flight hardware rather than ground-only planning.
