“Open source software is… the glue for everything that everyone does, from sending an email through to managing critical operations, not just space operations.”

The European Space Agency (ESA) runs missions ranging from investigating Earth’s forests, to exploring Jupiter’s moons, to deflecting incoming asteroids.

ESA aims to significantly increase the number of space missions they support by 2030. Michael Hawkshaw, MOI-IT Service Manager at ESA, explains how Canonical’s software is helping them do just that. In this video, Michael explains the challenges ESA was facing with their IT infrastructure, what they took into consideration, and the solutions they chose to deploy.
