Overview

GFSW® (Generic Flight Software for Space) is a robust, modular, and configurable onboard software framework tailored for space missions. It enables efficient and risk-mitigated development of spaceborne software through a pre-qualified architecture that adheres to ESA standards like ECSS. Compatible with real-time and target operating systems, it incorporates features like boot software, telemetry management, remote updates, and a mathematical library. Its design facilitates compatibility with ground-based space control systems, supporting frameworks like SCOS 2000 and PUS (Package Utilization Standard).
