1. An orbital satellite device, comprising:

  • a communication interface configured to receive software payloads for execution; and

    an execution system comprising a storage system and a hypervisor system;

    the execution system configured to;

    execute ones of the software payloads as associated virtual nodes that share resources of the orbital satellite device to at least perform activities using one or more on-board systems of the orbital satellite device, wherein the hypervisor system is configured to isolate execution and memory resources of the execution system among the ones of the software payloads when executing the associated virtual nodes, and wherein the storage system is configured to store at least the ones of the software payloads in an inactive state when not being executed by the execution system; and

    transfer state information related to execution of ones of the virtual nodes to at least another device over the communication interface, wherein the state information comprises data related to the activities.
