WHAT IS GROUNDKIT?
GROUNDKIT SOLUTIONS TO REAL-LIFE MISSIONS
HELIX® Groundkit is a robust, feature-rich ground software development environment, built on modular and reusable components and services. This modular approach enables rapid development and effortless integration of mission systems.
DISCUSS WITH OUR TEAMIntegrate Operations Across Diverse Systems
For missions with pre-existing flight software systems, Groundkit serves as a powerful gateway into the growing HELIX environment, enabling them to bring their current infrastructure into our unified ecosystem. In particular, it provides a clear path to customise and integrate HELIX Ops with a wide range of 3rd party flight software, ground stations and services.
DISCOVER HELIX OPSAccelerate Software Testing and Validation
Groundkit provides a flexible ground, interface, and AIT software solution to streamline the development, integration, and testing of flight software, built with our cutting-edge HELIX Flightkit. It allows to reduce testing time, simplify configuration, and ensure seamless validation from early development through flight readiness.
DISCOVER HELIX FLIGHTKITBuild Bespoke Ground Software Solutions Faster
Going forward, Groundkit will enable the development of custom ground software solutions from the ground up, using a library of modular, off-the-shelf building blocks. This flexible and modular architecture allows engineering teams to quickly assemble tailored mission systems that align precisely with specific operational objectives and technical requirements, reducing development time while maintaining full adaptability and performance.
INTEGRATED SOLUTION
GROUNDKIT IS HELIX® READY
Groundkit comes HELIX® ready, meaning that it is designed to seamlessly integrate with the entire HELIX family of space software products. From satellite assembly and testing to in-orbit operations, data processing, and performance management, HELIX unifies flight and ground software into one cohesive ecosystem. It even gives end users powerful yet intuitive control tools over space-based data and services, providing actionable insights and analytics.
