HELIX® Flightkit is a modular, off-the-shelf software solution designed to accelerate the development and deployment of spacecraft flight systems. Built on the flight-proven HELIX® framework, Flightkit enables satellite operators and integrators to rapidly configure and deploy core flight functionality with reduced risk, cost, and time to orbit. With modular components, built-in extensibility, and access to source code, it supports both standalone missions and complex constellations.
Flightkit offers a faster, more scalable approach to flight software, while providing the flexibility to tailor and extend capabilities to meet mission-specific requirements.
List specifications:
Modular architecture – Select and integrate only the components you need
Mission-ready core functionality – Including onboard task management, telemetry handling, FDIR, and scheduling
Full source code access – Customise and extend as needed
Rapid integration – Designed for seamless integration with new or existing hardware
Robust framework – Built on our flight-proven HELIX technology
Pre-tested modules – Reduce risk and validation time
Scalable – Supports single missions through to full constellations
Engineering support available – Access expert services for integration, customisation, and knowledge transfer
Ground compatibility – Works with our HELIX Ops ground software or third-party ground systems
