The team deployed a four-service stack development environment consisting of individual components for flight software, testbed software, COSMOS open-source GUI ground system written in Ruby, and the Docker environment. Utilizing the container networking model, the flight software container connects to the testbed container. The testbed container connects to the COSMOS container and acts as the radio, finally the COSMOS container is connected to the VNC container and provides the GUI by way of Openbox. This completes the hardware emulation and allows the developers to work on their own machines, saving months of development time and resources.
