The current trend to use partitioned architectures in on-board spacecraft software requires applications running on the same computer platform to be isolated from each other both in the temporal and memory domains. Memory isolation techniques currently used in Integrated Modular Avionics for Aeronautics usually require a Memory Management Unit (MMU), which is not commonly available in the kind of processors currently used in the Space domain. Two alternative approaches are discussed in the paper, based on some features of Ada and state-of-the art compilation tool-chains. Both approaches provide safe memory partitioning with less overhead than current IMA techniques. Some footprint and performance metrics taken on a prototype implementation of the most flexible approach are included.
