Lei Qiao, Mengfei Yang, Bin Gu, Hua Yang, Bo Liu · 2011
Lunar exploration rover (LER) system needs a computer to manage its hardware resources and activities. The complex LER functions make operating system a necessary choice as the system software. This paper presents an embedded real-time operating system used on LER computer which includes the modules of task management, memory management, inter-task communication, flash file system, extensive services and some methods to improve the reliability and safety. This new LER OS will satisfy the lunar exploration task efficiently and reliably.
