Toolkits for Enabling In-Space Manufacturing Compliance

Introduction

At Do Innovation ApS, we empower commercial software providers with the essential tools to make their products compatible with the unique demands of In-Space Manufacturing. Our toolkits are designed to ensure that software used in additive manufacturing can operate reliably in the harsh environment of space, from the International Space Station (ISS) to deep space missions. Below is a list of critical software standards that our toolkits help commercial software meet, categorized by their importance and regional relevance.

Global Standards

These standards are universally critical for any software toolkit enabling In-Space Manufacturing:

1. ISO/IEC 12207: Our toolkits support the integration of this framework, ensuring that the software lifecycle processes, including development, maintenance, and quality assurance, are robust and suitable for space missions.
2. NASA-STD-8739.8: We enable software to meet NASA’s stringent assurance requirements, focusing on reliability, maintainability, and safety in space applications.
3. IEC 61508: Our toolkits help ensure that software adheres to this functional safety standard, making it fail-safe and reliable for use in space environments.

United States Standards

For software intended to be used by NASA or other US-based space organizations, our toolkits ensure compliance with:

1. NASA-STD-5001: We provide the necessary tools to ensure software compatibility with the structural design and verification requirements of spaceflight hardware.
2. DO-178C: Our toolkits adapt commercial software to meet the safety and reliability standards required for space missions, inspired by this aviation standard.
3. NIST SP 800-53: Cybersecurity is paramount, and our toolkits help software comply with NIST guidelines to protect against potential threats in space.

European Standards

For software used in conjunction with the European Space Agency (ESA) or other European space initiatives, our toolkits address:

1. ECSS-E-ST-40C: We ensure that software meets this European standard for space software engineering, including product assurance and environmental testing.
2. ISO 26262: Our toolkits help software providers adapt their products to meet high safety integrity levels as required in European space missions.
3. ISO 9241: We assist in optimizing software for human-system interaction, ensuring usability and ergonomics in space environments.

Asian Standards

For companies targeting the Asian space sector, our toolkits facilitate compliance with:

1. ISO/IEC 29119: We help software providers implement comprehensive testing procedures to ensure their products perform under space conditions.
2. Radiation Hardening: While not a formal standard, our toolkits ensure that software can operate in high-radiation environments, crucial for Asian space missions.
3. MIL-STD-810: Our tools assist in adapting software to meet environmental testing standards, ensuring resilience and reliability in space.

At Do Innovation ApS, we are dedicated to enabling commercial software to meet these critical standards, paving the way for reliable and efficient In-Space Manufacturing worldwide.
