Well I guess the use some highly customised system who will reset them self in the case of a OS Crash. |

If SpaceX were using Windows on those systems I'd be shocked. It's almost certainly a custom Linux or possibly an RTOS for reliability if qualifying Linux was seen as too difficult. |

More likely it is a mission critical OS; probably very similar to what Tesla is using in their cars. |

Tesla is using a custom Linux-based OS, while a few other manufacturers use QNX. AFAIK, SpaceX also uses a custom Linux-based OS. I don't know if there are any major differences between the two, like for instance the kernel version and set of patches. https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-is-under-your-hood/ https://www.rankred.com/what-hardware-software-does-spacex-use-to-power-its-rockets/ |
