IPS has been designed for the AMSAT space projects (communication satellites for radio amateurs) and has since been found to be a very useful tool for programming small systems. It uses an extremely modular and structured approach to develop programs interactively. Because IPS is a high level language, it allows the sharing of programs regardless of the processor for which they were developed.
The following AMSAT Satellites were using IPS on their integrated housekeeping computer (IHU):
- AMSAT P3-A: (launch failure) in May 1980
- AMSAT-OSCAR 10 (P3-B): successfully launched on June 16th 1983
- AMSAT-OSCAR 13 (P3-C): successfully launched on June 15th 1988
- AMSAT-OSCAR 40 (P3-D): successfully launched on November 16th 2000
- AMSAT OSCAR-21 (Radio Sputnik-14): RUDAK-II successfully launched on 29th January 1991
