Abstract
Systems, methods, and software described herein provide enhancements for deploying applications in spaceborne and airborne devices. In one example, a satellite device includes one or more sensor systems, a communication interface, and a virtualized execution system. The virtualized execution system is configured to receive state information via the communication interface from at least a peer device related to execution of one or more software payloads by the peer device, and execute one or more virtual nodes based at least on the state information to employ the one or more sensor systems and establish imaging data.
Claims20
An airborne device, comprising:
- communication interface;
- one or more sensor systems;
- and
- a virtualized execution system configured to:
- receive state information via the communication interface from at least a peer device related to execution of one or more software payloads by the peer device;
- and
- execute one or more virtual nodes based at least on the state information to employ the one or more sensor systems and establish imaging data.
A method of operating an airborne device, the method comprising:
- receiving state information via a communication interface from at least a peer device, wherein the state information is related to execution of one or more software payloads by the peer device;
- and
- executing one or more virtual nodes based at least on the state information to at least employ one or more sensor systems and establish imaging data.
An airborne computing apparatus comprising:
- one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media;
- a processing system operatively coupled with the one or more computer readable storage media;
- and
- program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, that when executed by the processing system, direct the processing system to at least:
- receive state information from a peer device;
- and
- execute one or more virtual nodes in accordance with the state information received from the peer device to at least employ one or more sensor systems and establish imaging data.
