Integrated modular avionics for spacecraft — User requirements, architecture and role definition

1. ESA and its industrial partners have established the requirements, architecture and technology for using IMA principles in the space domain 2. IMA-SP is expected to bring benefits in terms of a. Reduction in integration effort b. Incremental validation c. Management of flight software complexity d. Support for parallel software development by multiple teams 3. Real use cases shall be used to prove the concept and demonstrate IMA-SP in a representative context (TRL 4–5)
