Abstract
hO is a custom restricted dialect of Oberon, developed at the Max-Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Göttingen and used in the SWI flight software for the JUICE mission. hO is applied to reduce the possibility of syntactically valid but incorrect code, provide better means of statically analyzing source code, is more readable than C and gives syntactic support for the software architecture used in the SWI instrument software. By using a higher-level, application-specific notation a whole range of possible errors is eliminated and source code size is reduced, while making the code itself easier to understand, review and analyze.
FYI, a flavor of Oberon will also fly to space soon it turns out... https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.03404v1
