Abstract
The paper aims at describing the motivation and the outcome of the definition of a reference architecture for software on-board the spacecraft platforms. It is based on the work of an industrial working group named SAVOIR-FAIRE, supported by industrial activities, which have defined the architectural principles and the process to define further the architecture. The architecture is using a component based approach executed by an execution platform adapted to space. The paper will present the user needs, the architecture requirements, the architectural principles, and the way forward.
