About Software Engineering Group
|
 |
|
Following the recognition that development of space flight software is a
discipline quite distinct from that of data analysis software, and that an
increasing number of flight hardware projects include a major element of
onboard software, a laboratory wide flight software engineering group was
established at MSSL at the end of 1992. The purpose of the group is to
maintain and improve the quality of flight software, Mission Performance
Simulator (MPS), Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) and test
software via a coordinated and structured approach. Since then the group has
supported flight, MPS, EGSE and test software developments for the following
space projects:
