APEX - Automated Procedure EXecution

Automated Procedure EXecution (APEX) is a generic portable procedure definition and execution tool that enables automation of spacecraft testing and spacecraft operations.

 

Planetary Aerobot

Planetary Aerobots will transform the way we explore planets. Combining the close-surface proximity of a rover with the large-area visibility of an orbiter, a planetary aerobot would drift on the currents of an alien atmosphere - it would have the capability of producing extremely high resolution images but would not be limited to an area of a few tens of metres.

 

Aurora

The European Space Agency's (ESA) Aurora programme is an ambitious initiative to put robots (and eventually humans) onto the surface of Mars within the next thirty years.

 

CREST Robotic Scientist

The aim of the Robotic Scientist project is to allow a robotic vehicle such as a Mars Rover to act as a surrogate for the science team back on Earth, by allowing it to detect scientific targets of interest and exploring these in greater detail without the need for detailed supervision from mission control.

 

CryoSat On-board Software

SciSys has developed the onboard application software for CryoSat, part of the European Space Agency's (ESA) pioneering Living Planet Programme.
