Question

Different operating system structures offer both benefits and drawbacks over one another, and it's important to understand what kind of structure should be used for different use-cases.

Consider the following situation. You are designing an operating system for an interstellar probe that is meant to run for hundreds of years. The probe should also support monitoring many specific instruments.

What structure (simple, layered, microkernel, or modular) should you choose for its kernel? Analyze the problem, design a choice, and justify the choice. This is in regards to coding in C.
