"Boldly Going, Running Linux in Space" - Sam Bishop (LCA 2022 Online)

(Sam Bishop) Linux is everywhere, even in space... but space is a harsh environment with many challenges. Radiation disrupting electronics, wild temperature swings damaging circuit boards, no communications for hours, days, or even weeks at a time. How do you build computers and software systems for such demanding conditions?
Let's take a look at who is already using Linux in space, what they had to do in order to build their systems on Linux, and how you can get involved in helping open source software destined for space.
