The purpose of the Lunar Atmosphere Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) mission was to measure the density, composition and time variability of the lunar dust environment. The successful mission launched Sept 7, 2013 and was de-orbited and impacted the moon's surface on April 17, 2014. The spacecraft had 3 primary science instruments, the Lunar Dust Experiment, Neutral Mass Spectrometer, and the Ultra Violet Spectrometer. The mission also had a Laser Communications payload that set a record download rate of 622 Mbps (megabits per second) from the moon orbit. The goal is to use the LADEE software base for upcoming smallsat missions. The onboard flight software for the mission was developed using a Model-Based Software methodology and agile software development practices. High level models were developed in Simulink, autocoded to C and layered on Core Flight Executive and Core Flight Software, VxWorks and required board support packages. Software package versions were frozen several years ago, and need to be brought to modern standards for future spacecraft missions. We are evaluating alternate Real Time Operating Systems and avionics architectures that comply with CubeSat form-factor and power limitations. In addition, the tool chain for the software development process has been improved. We will discuss the rationale, trades and implementation for the upgrade path after the LADEE mission.
