Rust for Linux — in space

The Rust for Linux (RFL) project may not have (yet) resulted in user-visiblechanges to the Linux kernel, but it seems the wider world has taken notice.Hongyu Li has announcedthat the Rust for Linux code is now part of a satellite just launchedout of China. The satellite is running a system called RROS, which follows the oldRTLinux pattern of running a realtime kernel alongside Linux. The realtimecore is written in Rust, using the RFL groundwork.

Despite its imperfections, we still want to share RROS with thecommunity, showcasing our serious commitment to using RFL forsubstantial projects and contributing to the community'sgrowth. Our development journey with RROS has been greatly enrichedby the support and knowledge from the RFL community. We also havereceived invaluable assistance from enthusiastic forks here,especially when addressing issues related to safety abstraction
