+George Robotics Limited (the company behind MicroPython) is proud to announce that the European Space Agency (ESA) will be funding further development of MicroPython, to determine the suitability of the language for space-based applications, in particular for payloads.
+
+Research and development will focus on making MicroPython more robust for critical embedded systems, with emphasis on determinism of the virtual machine and memory management. 
+
+The research program foresees the development of a port of MicroPython to the SPARC architecture, which will be made available under an ESA community license.
+
+ESA has generously agreed that all improvements to MicroPython that are made as part of this R&D program can be incorporated into the generic implementation.
