SpaceOS - Can Other Industries Benefit?
CEO
Partners and cybersecurity experts frequently ask whether SpaceOS's industry-first security and efficiency could be adapted to other use cases and industries. The answer is yes.
The Technology Behind SpaceOS
SpaceOS achieves remarkable compactness—20-50x smaller versus alternatives—through its integration with MirageOS. This dramatic size reduction, combined with uncompromising security, makes the underlying technology valuable far beyond space applications.
Security Features
The platform emphasizes three core protective mechanisms:
- Unikernel Architecture - Drastically reduces attack surfaces by including only the code needed for each specific application
- Memory-Safe Programming Languages - Exclusive use of languages like OCaml that eliminate entire classes of vulnerabilities
- Formally Verified Components - Mathematical proofs of correctness providing the highest level of security assurance
These security properties are not space-specific—they're valuable wherever security is critical.
Industry Applications
MirageOS technology can add value across numerous sectors:
IoT and Edge Computing
- Solar-powered IoT devices using Irmin for efficient data collection
- Smart cities infrastructure requiring minimal resource usage
- Wind farms and renewable energy monitoring systems
Transportation
- Secure truck black boxes resistant to tampering
- Automotive systems requiring safety-critical reliability
Healthcare
- Protected medical devices where security vulnerabilities could endanger lives
- Embedded healthcare systems with strict size and power constraints
Consumer Electronics
- Low-power set-top boxes reducing processor requirements and costs
- Edge devices requiring secure, efficient computing
The Bottom Line
In any area where security and efficiency are critical - MirageOS can add value.
While Parsimoni focuses exclusively on space applications, Tarides provides MirageOS implementation training and services for terrestrial applications.
The same technology making satellites more secure and efficient can transform industries on Earth.
