Flight Software for Lunar IceCube Satellite
The GNAT Pro and SPARK language toolsets have been selected for the Lunar IceCube project by Vermont Technical College. Lunar IceCube is a 6-Unit CubeSat mission sponsored by NASA through their NextSTEP initiative. The mission will prospect for water and other lunar volatiles in all forms (solid, liquid, and vapor) from a highly elliptical orbit with a low point of 100 kilometers (60 miles) where the data will be gathered, and a high point of 5,000 kilometers (3,100 miles).
