Modular space vehicle boards, control software, reprogramming, and failure recovery

Title: Modular space vehicle boards, control software, reprogramming, and failure recovery

Abstract

A space vehicle may have a modular board configuration that commonly uses some or all components and a common operating system for at least some of the boards. Each modular board may have its own dedicated processing, and processing loads may be distributed. The space vehicle may be reprogrammable, and may be launched without code that enables all functionality and/or components. Code errors may be detected and the space vehicle may be reset to a working code version to prevent system failure.
