LORIS is a 2U CubeSat being developed by Dalhousie University. LORIS's payload features two cameras; one which takes pictures using visible spectrum light and a second which takes pictures using near-infrared light (NIR). This repository contains all source code for the Core Software System (CSS) that will run on the satellite's on-board computer (OBC). It's primarily written in C++, while making use of other languages such as the BASH scripting language. The CSS is responsible for holding all data generated by every external subsystem, storing all generated data, issuing commands to subsystems to change their state, and completing missions received from an external sender in a way that the satellite maintains a nominal state.
The entire repository contains code for three distrinct parts: Core, Emulation, and Ground Station.
The Core code is what will be used on the OBC of the satellite. It contains all logic necessary for ensuring successful, autonomous operation of the satellite.
