ThRust in Space: Initial Momentum - Michaël Melchiore

This talk first introduces the specific challenges of developing space-worthy SW in a context of growing customers' expectations, in terms of performance, features and reliability. Then, Michaël presents the ESA study strategy and the initial solutions it yielded. Several concrete use-cases demonstrate how Rust can be extended via its type-system to tackle increasingly domain-specific difficulties in a composable manner. Such results paint a compelling, yet incomplete vision for modern On-Board SW development. This talk finally proposes a few next steps the Space Industry should take to contribute to and leverage the momentum of the Rust community.
