CubeSat Program· Aerospace

Software with no room for error, bound for orbit

We built the mission flight system for a CubeSat launching via SpaceX in 2027, engineered to be right the first time.

2027

SpaceX launch, mission-critical build

The challenge

Aerospace leaves no margin. The CubeSat program needed flight software that stays precise and stable under real flight conditions, with zero tolerance for failure, because once the satellite launches there is no patch. It also had to stay maintainable and extensible across a multi-year program.

What we built

We built the mission system with reliability as the first principle.

  • The mission flight system for the CubeSat program
  • Reliability and stability engineered in from the start
  • A modular architecture designed to extend across future missions
  • Maintainability built in from day one

The results

The system is engineered for a launch to orbit via SpaceX in 2027, built to be reliable under flight conditions and to carry forward to future missions.
