BURLINGTON, MA/Randolph Center, VT (2010)
AdaMagic is stellar!!
Vermont Technical College uses AdaMagic to develop it's CubeSat Lunar Lander/Orbiter project, set to launch in 2012
In a NASA sponsered program, Vermont Technical College is contructing a CubeSat. The goal of the CubeSate Lunar Lander project is to
develop a satellite to collect data from the moon and transmit the data back to Vermont. This project's predecessor was the
Alaskan Sea Ice Buoy Project
which assisted in learning about the CubeSat Kit hardware. That project focused on collecting data around the
enviroment and sending the data back to Vermont for processing.
The concept of this project came from Dr. Carl S. Brandon when he was looking over a lunar lander design. He observed a
proposed project that would use a CubeSat kit to deliver a lunar lander onto the moon. He then did the calculations of the fuel
modules and found the design didn't account for some of the finer physics needed to land onto the moon. He therefore began to
design a physical system that would accomplish the goal of landing onto the moon. From this preliminary design, CubeSat Lunar
Lander Project was born.
The project is supported by grants from the Vermont Space Grant Consortium, a part of the NASA Space Grant program. Vermont Tech
also received generous donations of commercial software from AdaCore, SofCheck, Praxis, and Rowley Associates to support
using high integrity software tools and methods in the programming of the buoy.
In detail, the SPARK code written by the developers is run through Praxis Systems' SPARK examiner then run through SofCheck's AdaMagic compiler,
which compiles the Ada code into C code. That C code is then combined with microcontroller device drivers written in C and called from Ada,
and it is compiled for the MSP430 platform using Rowley Associates' CrossWorks.
