Rust for Linux — in space

The Rust for Linux (RFL) project may not have (yet) resulted in user-visible changes to the Linux kernel, but it seems the wider world has taken notice. Hongyu Li has announced that the Rust for Linux code is now part of a satellite just launched out of China. The satellite is running a system called RROS, which follows the old RTLinux pattern of running a realtime kernel alongside Linux. The realtime core is written in Rust, using the RFL groundwork.

Despite its imperfections, we still want to share RROS with the community, showcasing our serious commitment to using RFL for substantial projects and contributing to the community's growth. Our development journey with RROS has been greatly enriched by the support and knowledge from the RFL community. We also have received invaluable assistance from enthusiastic forks here, especially when addressing issues related to safety abstraction
