HELIX OPS
WHY CHOOSE OPS?
Ops provides easy-to-use monitoring and control capabilities during development and flight. Based on reusable software components common to all HELIX® products, it creates infinite possibilities around integration and extensibility.
Mission Automation
Ops offers extensive scheduling and automation possibilities in the system, particularly around planning and procedures, making it easier than ever to achieve mission automation.
Extensible platform
Ops supports the use of bespoke software components, making it highly extensible in terms of functionality and integration. This also means that it can be used alongside any flight software – whether it was developed via HELIX products or not.
Integration
HELIX model-based approach means the contents and capabilities of Ops are machine comprehensible, allowing nearly automatic ground system configuration when used alongside other HELIX products.
Scalability
Ops ground software is highly scalable and is able to support any mission from those flying a single spacecraft to missions comprising of multiple constellations.
