Hello ROS Community,
We are excited to share the latest milestone from our open-source project, Space Station OS (SSOS) — a ROS 2-based platform for simulating and integrating subsystems of future crewed space stations.
In version v0.8.4, we have released our first fully integrated Mission Control Center demo, featuring:
-
Real-time dashboard integration via OpenMCT
-
Live telemetry and feedback for thermal dynamics and ECLSS (Environmental Control and Life Support System)
-
Multiple operator modes: Astronaut, Developer, Ground Control
-
Modular ROS 2 node architecture compatible with Gazebo-based simulations
- Demo video

Why might this be relevant to you?
If you are working on:
-
Human-in-the-loop simulation
-
Autonomous control of GNC / TCS / ECLSS systems
-
ROS-based multi-subsystem integration
-
High-fidelity visualization and telemetry workflows
…then we would love to hear your thoughts.
Starting from this version, each release will be driven by an integrated use-case demo — enabling a clearer trajectory across our simulation roadmap.
We welcome collaborators and contributors. Feedback and suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thank you!
