Avionics and Flight Software

The capabilities of the ASI Avionics and Flight Software group include all phases of spacecraft development from conceptual design through in-space operations. ASI personnel have played key roles in spacecraft programs including small spinning Earth Orbiters, LEO & GEO spacecraft, large interplanetary imagers, planetary landers, and human-rated systems.
Our demonstrated technical capabilities include:
- Board & Box Level Test Hardware and Software Design, Development, and Application
- ADCS Component Design, Development, and Manufacture (See ADCS Components)
- Modular Command & Data Handling (C&DH) Flight Software (See MCDH)
- NASA Planetary Flight Software Development
- Flight Software Acceptance and Risk Reduction Testing
