Case Study: Unibap achieves robust, accessible space computing with Ubuntu from Canonical

Unibap powers robust and accessible space computing with Ubuntu

Unibap, a Swedish company providing space computing solutions, faced the challenge of bridging modern innovations with aging satellite hardware. Their customers, including major space agencies, needed a robust and versatile operating system capable of supporting time-critical, long-term projects in the restrictive space environment. They turned to vendor Canonical for a solution.

Canonical provided Ubuntu Pro, which delivered a stable, familiar platform for developers and crucially extended security support to 10 years. This solution allowed Unibap's hardware to successfully run over 40 different experiments from a single satellite, a claimed world record, demonstrating significant versatility and performance for their space computing projects.
