Accelerating U.S. Space Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance for National Security with Innovative Secure Open Source Software

As the U.S. government's advancement into space-based Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) continues to accelerate, satellite technology will be defined much more by its software and ability to support diverse mission requirements than anything else. Access to data, and real-time analysis of that data, anywhere at any time becomes critical to mission success. Containerized application software is a key to this new paradigm. Government customers increasingly demand software that is resource efficient, agile, and can be adapted and updated in orbit to run applications based on changing mission demands. Solutions like containers and container orchestration, along with the increase in innovation from micro-services are already having a profound impact on mission success.

Discover how Ball Aerospace’s recent Rideshare program, built using Rancher Kubernetes full stack technology, enables flexible ISR capabilities that are critical to national security.
