The NanoSat MO Framework is a software framework for small satellites based on CCSDS Mission Operations services.
It introduces the concept of apps in space that can be started and stopped from ground. Apps can retrieve data from the platform through a set of well-defined MO services. Many possibilities for extensions are available due to its modular and flexible design approach which is not limited to the space segment but extends down to ground by providing all the building blocks for a complete and free end-to-end solution.
A Software Development Kit (SDK) is available in order to facilitate the development with the NanoSat MO Framework.

The research was carried by Graz University of Technology in partnership with the European Space Agency.
The latest NMF SDK release tag can be downloaded in Releases. However, the currently recommended distribution channel is directly from Git repository.
- Install Java SDK 1.8 (will work with higher SDKs but 1.8 is the recommended)
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk- Install Apache Maven
sudo apt-get install maven- Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/esa/nanosat-mo-framework.git- Set the environment variable NMF_HOME with the path to this repository's root directory
export NMF_HOME=path_to_repository- Build the cloned NanoSat MO Framework project:
mvn clean installNote that the errors about missing module descriptors during Javadoc generation are to be expected and non-breaking.
In order to produce independently runnable Java executables (JAR artifacts with dependencies - equivalent of statically linked executables), use mvn install -P assembly-with-dependencies
More documentation about code examples, SDK packaging and usage is available under sdk directory.
This project uses the default Java logger (java.util.Logger) to generate log messages. The verbosity of these log messages can be changed by configuring the logging.properties file inside the NMF_HOME directory.
The source code of the NanoSat MO Framework can be found on GitHub.
Bug Reports can be submitted on: Issues
