Core Flight System

The Core Flight System (CFS) is a range of services for command, telemetry and other onboard flight software applications including the Core Flight Executive (cFE). cFE is an application development and run-time environment providing a set of core flight software services. The cFE Software Bus service provides a publish and subscribe messaging system that allows applications to easily plug and play into the system. We have contributed significantly to the development of CFS and continue to support new spacecraft and flight software applications.

XINA

The XINA system is an end-to-end instrument data pipeline that has supported numerous space missions, including Curiosity and MAVEN. XINA processes instrument telemetry into organized databases, allowing rapid development of powerful, and sometimes unanticipated, visualizations. The web-based user interface eliminates the need to support a distributed application and cloud-based database server allows scalability to grow with missions.

SlideRule

SlideRule is a web service for on-demand science data processing, which provides researchers and other Earth science data systems low-latency access to customized data products using processing parameters supplied at the time of the request. SlideRule runs in the Amazon Web Service (AWS) cloud.  SlideRule has access to ICESat-2, GEDI, Landsat, ArcticDEM, REMA, and other datasets. 

SlideRule provides access methods and application programming interfaces to allow data users to develop and upload algorithms to process the satellite data inplace in the cloud.  This provides time and cost saving for users as they don’t need to download and store large amounts of data.

SpaceWire Test Set

SpaceWire has evolved to the primary interface onboard NASA spacecraft. The SpaceWire test set software was developed to support the development and test of systems using space wire including subsystems and instrument. In addition to test the software is easily modified to simulate systems which use SpaceWire.
