<pre style="word-wrap:break-word; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Tahoma; color:black">Hi
If you are developing space applications, please seriously consider attending or presenting at the Flight Software Workshop. It is a rare opportunity where many space application developers come together.
OAR plans to have a presence there and there are plans to submit two presentations about the RTEMS Project.

<span>With the advent of faster processors and advanced hardware architectures, the modern spacecraft is highly reliant upon flight software for mission success. Software is integral to most of the spacecraft subsystems ranging from power to propulsion to instrument
operations. Additionally, spacecraft developers are moving beyond providing only infrastructure to creating applications that can revolutionize how these vehicles are operated and how data is processed on-board.</span></p>
