Overview
We bring expertise in all areas of software development. As a result, customers like NASA trust us to support complex operations like the Goddard Space Flight Center and Mars 2020 mission.
In each mission, we support one-of-a-kind systems that use intelligent, programmable computers and micro-controllers. Our engineers are fluent in various operating systems, tools and software languages — allowing them to purpose-build solutions for any set of requirements.
All flight software is engineered to perform in extreme space environments. Using agile and hybrid-agile methods, we space-test and refine the product to verify that it meets standards for security and resilience. After deployment and launch, we provide ongoing support to ensure high performance throughout the design life.
