Opportunistic Software Experiments for Spacecraft Autonomy Test-beds (OSE-SAT)

OSE-SAT is a completed NASA Small Spacecraft Technology project developed by the Distributed Spacecraft Autonomy team at Ames to demonstrate low-technology-readiness software in flight. Its hybrid-trust architecture uses containerization to isolate experimental software from trusted host flight software, enabling controlled on-orbit testing and reusable flight heritage for small, low-cost pathfinder missions.
