This means that GenerationOne helps tailor the software to each mission by allowing the developer to choose which components to use, how many, the way they connect, and to develop custom components for the mission.Īll components are made portable to be useable across a wide range of platforms and operating systems.

These common functionalities are provided as library components which allows FSDK users to quickly cover basic functionality of the system and focus on the development of bespoke components, unique to their particular mission. While every mission is different, software systems on many missions perform a number of similar tasks such as data acquisition, monitoring, logging, FDIR, TM/TC, scheduled and automated actions. What are FSDK components?Ĭomponents are the central elements of the FSDK, they are entirely self-contained and have a coherent set of functionality. Our Flight Software Development Kit is based on our innovative and unique GenerationOne technology – a modular technology which combines three equally important aspects, one of which is the “component-based approach”. The key to achieving this is through software reuse: when the software created for one mission can be quickly and easily adapted for another, and when common software functionality is provided in a reusable library. In the rapidly changing and growing commercial New Space market, there is a strong need to produce space software quickly and at low cost.
