[bkempa]

Hello ROS community!

The Space ROS team is excited to announce Space ROS is now based on ROS 2 Jazzy Jalisco running on Ubuntu 24.04 Noble Numbat with the release of Space ROS Jazzy 2025.01.0 available as osrf/space-ros:jazzy-2025.01.0 on DockerHub.

This release only moves the base image to Jazzy while we work to migrate the stacks and demos; if you want to get involved with this effort, join in on the Space ROS GitHub issues and discussion board.

Code

Current versions of all packages released with Space ROS are available at:

• GitHub - space-ros/space-ros: The Space ROS meta operating system for space robotics.
• GitHub - space-ros/docker: Docker images to facilitate Docker-based development.
• GitHub - space-ros/demos: Various Space ROS demos.
• GitHub - space-ros/simulation: Simulation assets of space-ros demos
• GitHub - space-ros/process_sarif: Tools to process and aggregate SARIF output from static analysis.

What’s next

This release comes 3 months after the last release. The next release is planned for April 30, 2025. If you want to contribute to features, tests, demos, or documentation of Space ROS, get involved on the Space ROS GitHub issues and discussion board.

All the best,

The Space ROS Team

Great work!

Are you enabling Zenoh as part of space ROS?

[bkempa]

Hi @davecrawley, Zenoh has been part of the Space ROS project from very early on.

One of the earliest examples in the repos is an RTMS-based target communicating using Zenoh that was bridged to a Space ROS node to simulate control of a real-time embedded system from a ROS context.

I’m not aware of any specific work integrating the Zenoh RMW, but contributions are always welcome.
