Introducing HELIX Groundkit: Join our webinar on transforming ground software development and integration

As space missions become more complex and interconnected, mission teams need flexible and efficient software solutions that can evolve alongside their systems. HELIX® Groundkit delivers exactly that — a powerful new environment for developing, integrating, and scaling ground systems with speed and confidence.

Following its debut at Space Tech Expo Bremen 2025, Groundkit is now set to take centre stage in our upcoming webinar reserve your place here.

What is HELIX Groundkit?

HELIX Groundkit is a robust, feature-rich ground software development environment built on modular and reusable components and services. This modular architecture allows mission teams to rapidly develop and integrate complex systems while maintaining flexibility and scalability.

As part of the HELIX suite, Groundkit connects seamlessly with Flightkit and Ops, creating a unified ecosystem that supports the entire mission lifecycle — from flight software development to in-orbit operations.

Integrate operations across diverse systems

For missions already running existing flight software, Groundkit acts as a gateway into the HELIX ecosystem. It provides a clear path to integrate legacy or third-party systems with HELIX Ops, our next-generation mission operations platform.

By serving as a flexible integration layer, Groundkit transforms standalone software into fully compatible components, enabling seamless interoperability across your mission infrastructure.

Accelerate software testing and validation

With built-in flexibility for ground, interface, and AIT software, Groundkit streamlines the development, integration, and testing of flight software, particularly when used with Flightkit.

Teams can reduce configuration time, simplify validation workflows, and maintain continuity from early development through flight readiness — shortening schedules and increasing reliability at every stage.

Build bespoke ground software solutions faster

Groundkit enables the creation of custom ground software using a library of modular, off-the-shelf building blocks. Engineering teams can assemble tailored solutions that align perfectly with mission goals, reducing development time while maintaining adaptability and high performance.

This approach allows space organisations to innovate faster and deploy new capabilities without compromise.

HELIX ready by design

Groundkit integrates effortlessly with the HELIX suite, which unifies flight and ground software into a single, cohesive ecosystem.

From assembly and testing to in-orbit operations, data management, and analytics, HELIX enables near-automatic integration across:

  • Flight software and mission control
  • Automated testing and simulation
  • Custom mission apps and add-ons
  • Space-based data processing for actionable insights
  • Cross-product monitoring and analytics

This connected design ensures long-term scalability, efficiency, and cost savings as your mission portfolio grows.

When you need an extra hand

Our Engineering Services team is here to support your mission development and integration goals. We work closely with clients to deliver complete mission solutions powered by our flight-proven HELIX technology.

Beyond implementation, we offer hands-on training to help teams build internal capability and future-proof their software systems for evolving requirements.
