Abstract

Verification of correctness of control programs is an essentialtask in the development of space electronics; it is difficultand typically outweighs design and programming tasks interms of development hours. This experience report presentsa verification approach designed to help spacecraft engineersreduce the effort required for formal verification of low-levelcontrol programs executed on custom hardware.The verification approach is demonstrated on an industrialcase study. We present REDFIN, a processing core used inspace missions, and its formal semantics expressed using theproposed metalanguage for state transformers, followed byexamples of verification of simple control programs.
