Crates

AeroRust crates

NMEA

NMEA 0183 sentence parser for Rust. Currently only GGA, GSV, GSA, VTG and RMC sentences are supported.

Repository: https://github.com/AeroRust/nmea crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/nmea Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NMEA_0183

Type: parser + no_std

arsdk-rs

SDK (Software development kit) for https://parrot.com drones

Repository: https://github.com/AeroRust/arsdk-rs Parrot: https://parrot.com

Type: SDK

Splice

Splice is a DSL (Domain-specific language) for Software-Defined Satellite Applications

Repository: https://github.com/AeroRust/splice

Type: DSL

Other crates

yaiouom

Extensible, strongly-typed units of measure, with a custom type system (based on F#'s unit of measures) implemented as a linter.

This crate implements a mechanism of units of measure. It may be used to manipulate all sorts of measures, including physics/engineering (m, kg, s, A, m * s ^ 1, ...), currencies (EUR, USD, ...), statistics (dollars per barrel, engineers per lightbulb, dollars per household per year, ...)

crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/yaiouom

Repository: https://github.com/Yoric/yaiouom

Labrador-LDPC

A crate for encoding and decoding low-density parity check (LDPC) error correcting codes.

crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/labrador-ldpc

Repository: https://github.com/adamgreig/labrador-ldpc

Type: no_std only

CCSDS Primary Header

This crate contains an implementation of the CCSDS standard called Space Packet Protocol, which defines a packet header called the CCSDS Primary Header.

crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/ccsds_primary_header

Repository: https://github.com/nsmryan/ccsds_primary_header

Type: ?

NYX

Nyx is a high fidelity, fast, reliable and validated astrodynamical toolkit library written in Rust.

The target audience is researchers and astrodynamics engineers. The rationale for using Rust is to allow for very fast computations, guaranteed thread safety, and portability to all platforms supported by Rust.

crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/nyx-space

Repository: https://gitlab.com/chrisrabotin/nyx

Type: ?

YANP

YANP - Yet Another NMEA Parser.

A no_std Rust NMEA 0183 sentence parser.

crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/yanp

Repository: https://github.com/hargoniX/yanp

Type: parser + no_std

BP7

Bundle Protocol 7 encoding/decoding library.

A portable Work-In-Progress implementation of the upcoming delay-tolerant networking Bundle Protocol. Support for DTN (Delay-Tolerant Network) as well as IPN (InterPlanetary Network) addressing, custom canonical blocks and restricted environments such as wasm.

crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/bp7

Repository: https://github.com/dtn7/bp7-rs

Type: ?

DTN7

Delay-tolerant Networking Daemon and CLI tools.

A Work-In-Progress implementation of the upcoming delay-tolerant networking standard. This crate uses BP7 to provide a dtn daemon (with routing, convergence layers, etc) and command line tools.

crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/dtn7

Repository: https://github.com/dtn7/dtn7-rs

Type: ?
