Space avionics

Recent space avionics work taken on by the Rapita team includes:

• Supporting automated schedulability analysis of onboard software on the Solar Orbiter satellite
• Supporting DO-178C DAL B structural coverage analysis for an Attitude Control System on OHB Sweden’s Electra satellite

Our team have experience providing a range of services for space avionics engineering on spacecraft including:

• The Solar Orbiter satellite
• The Electra satellite

On these spacecraft and other aircraft, our team have provided engineering services on a wide range of avionics applications, including:

• FADECs
• Engine control unit
• Flight control systems
• Flight management systems
• Cockpit displays
• Navigation and guidance systems
• Radar and sensory equipment
• Autopilot systems
• Communication systems
