Flightkit
Bright Ascension's development kit for building small-satellite flight software from reusable parts. The company's flight software runs AAC Clyde Space's VIREON 1 and 2 satellites.
Why it matters
Writing satellite software from scratch is slow and costly. Bright Ascension says reusing tested components shortens development and lowers costs.
How the technology works
Flightkit gives integrators reusable onboard software components to configure for their spacecraft. It is part of Bright Ascension's HELIX suite, which also covers ground, integration and payload software.
