The goal of the group is to advance space technology innovation and competitiveness by developing a common Linux distribution that can be used in space applications, ready for the challenges of deep space, often long lifespan robotic or human-based missions. The nature of space missions brings many challenges, from development to deployment there are multiple considerations that need to be considered. Furthermore this group is the initial step towards creating an ecosystem of supported platforms and a community that benefits from them, and also from the open source nature of the project.

How to Collaborate / Join
Hosted under the ELISA project, the Space Grade Linux SIG is recruiting members to embark on a development journey together with the likes of Boeing, NASA, EASA, and the Linux Foundation.
Joining the mailing list is the best way to contribute to the project, it’s as simple as registering your email. The second best way to collaborate is joining our recurring formation calls, you can find the details on the calendar link below. We usually publish the meeting agenda ahead of time on the mailing lists, and have our meetings on Zoom.
