Our university's electrical engineering department is designing a mini satellite to be launched. For this satellite of course we need a ground station to control the satellite. In the original blue plan, the ground station is designed to use a SUN Sparc Station with SunOS. But of course it is very risky to use an old Sparc Station to be the ground station of the satellite, since if the terminal crash, we can say bye bye to the thousands of dollars satellite. As right now, the ground station hasn't been built, is it possible if we use FreeBSD in this project to be the ground station O/S ? because it has some similarities with SunOS (the same UFS filesystem for example) ? How about the reability of FreeBSD in the super critical environment like this as the O/S mustn't crash or hang at all ? Does anyone has any suggestion in building the ground station then (hardware, security, networking) ? Thank you in advance for your reply. I really appreciate that.
