ISTO Space Systems MOSA Interface Standards Alliance
Announces Industry Webinar:
"MOSA Interoperability Standards for Space Systems"
August 26, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM PDT / 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM EDT
August 11, 2026 PISCATAWAY, NJ - The ISTO Space Systems MOSA Interface Standards Alliance, governed by the Space Systems Command, NASA and the NRO, is proud to announce its upcoming webinar "MOSA Interoperability Standards for Space Systems" scheduled for August 26, 2026. This event will bring together innovators from government, industry, and academia to discuss critical advancements in modular open system approaches (MOSA) and highlight pioneering methods in standards development that are shaping the future of space technology.
The Case for MOSA Standards in Space Systems
MOSA is more than a best practice-it is a Department of Defense mandate ("to the maximum extent possible," DoD Instruction 5000.88) and a strategic approach to achieving plug-and-play interoperability across conforming systems. By defining and adopting open standards, organizations can accelerate technology refresh, increase competition, and reduce overall program risks. Industry research and defense analyses (NDIA, 2023) agree that MOSA standards lower lifecycle costs, speed up integration, and help adapt rapidly to evolving mission requirements, all while mitigating vendor lock-in and obsolescence.
Pioneering Advances by the MOSA Alliance
The Alliance stands at the forefront of standards development, setting new industry benchmarks:
Also, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers play a role in the standards process, providing non-proprietary, technically rigorous requirements development in compliance with MOSA laws. Their involvement ensures that government and industry can collaboratively produce standards that are technically sound and widely adoptable.
Webinar Highlights
Attendees will gain insights into the Alliance's agile and digital engineering methods, see live demonstrations of MOSA standards in action, and hear from experts who are leading the charge in space systems interoperability. The webinar will also feature interactive Q&A sessions, for participants to engage with thought leaders from government, industry, and academia.
Why Attend?
This is a must-attend event for anyone involved in space systems development, acquisition, or integration. Whether you are a program manager, engineer, policymaker, or industry executive, this webinar will provide valuable knowledge, practical examples, and networking opportunities to help you leverage MOSA standards for mission success.
