These expert-led services ensure that customers can fully leverage the power of HELIX technology while benefiting from turn-key software development to their exact requirements.

HELIX products are designed to revolutionise space software technology by integrating systems across the entire satellite lifecycle, from construction and testing to in-orbit control and service delivery. With the introduction of HELIX Engineering Services, space software development becomes more accessible for companies with specific and unique operational needs. As their space systems grow, HELIX technology provides the flexibility to extend functionality, customise operations and adapt to evolving mission requirements without major overhauls.

One of the first offerings under the new services portfolio is Operations Software Development & Integration via HELIX Ops, a powerful and scalable mission control environment. The service transforms satellite operations by offering an intuitive, cost-effective and highly customisable solution. Its seamless integration with pre-existing infrastructure ensures smooth and efficient mission control, even as systems change and evolve.
