SMART (Scientific Microsatellite for Advanced Research and Technology), developed by the Second University of Naples, Italy, and the University of Naples “Federico II”, Italy, is a 50-kg, 0.45x0.45x0.45-m3 Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) platform hosting remote-sensing-oriented payloads. This paper describes the OBDH software architecture developed to meet the payload demands and implement the basic functionality requiredfor correct operation of SMART subsystems. ESA-driven recommendations and object-oriented methodologies, which have been proven useful in setting up a hierarchical development of the data handling software, have also been used in the software requirements definition and in the architectural design.
