WHAT WE OFFER
INTEGRATED FLIGHT & GROUND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Our Integrated Flight & Ground Software Development service provides a turn-key, fully integrated approach that simplifies spacecraft development and operations. By combining HELIX® Flightkit—our advanced flight software development kit—with HELIX® Ops—our powerful mission control environment—we deliver a bespoke, end-to-end solution that simplifies mission development, testing, and operations.
MORE INFOReduce development time and cost
Our modular “component-based” approach means that flight software can be developed significantly faster, simpler and cheaper.
Reuse software as constellation grows
The more spacecraft you built – the easier it becomes, as software created for one mission can be reused on another, regardless of what hardware you choose.
Simplify management of a multi-platform constellation
Our technology is designed to simplify constellation management, seamlessly supporting multi-vendor and multi-platform systems for cohesive operations across diverse satellite networks.
Future-proof operations framework
Our solutions remain flexible to help tailor the system for future development, customisation, and adaptation of mission operations.
OUR SOLUTION
HOW IT WORKS
We work closely with our clients to deliver complete mission solutions using our unique and flight-proven HELIX® technology. We then train our clients to build capability and fully utilise HELIX products to maintain flexibility over their software systems for future development and adaptation of mission needs.
Filesize:2.7MB
Our expert-led team will work closely with you to develop the software solution that is the best fit for your mission requirements.
We will use our HELIX Flightkit to create a modular, scalable, and adaptable flight software solution. We will then further customise and enhance it with bespoke components to meet your specific mission requirements.
For the ground segment, we will tailor and enrich HELIX Ops, our flexible graphical environment for mission control, enabling efficient monitoring, commanding, and operations for missions ranging from single satellites to large constellations.
Case study
OS-VOLT
OS-VOLT is a true testament to our upcoming HELIX suite of space software products. Find out how HELIX will be used to boost this pioneering multi-million mission.
Case study
FARADAY PHOENIX
The Faraday Phoenix mission enables multiple third-party payloads to ‘rideshare ’ on a single satellite platform, providing fast and low-cost access to space.
Case study
IOD-1 GEMS
The IOD-1 mission was the key first step in the OMS’s GEMS programme roll-out to test commercial viability of the service and prove the concept and technology.
