                         increasing responsibility for the software embedded in them. This 
                         is particularly significant when the systems are employed for 
                         space critical missions. Usually the software has rigid real time 
                         requirements to fulfil which demands high reliability and a 
                         disciplined development process.This paper relates the effort of 
                         defining a set of software development processes for the on-board

                         space missions, the SOAB development teams degree of maturity and 
                         technological proficiency had to harmonize with a well defined

                         consider international space systems engineering standards and 
                         standards of quality established by IAE. Best practices in 
                         software engineering were considered as well.",
