Flight Software Open House

Single-pilot craft such as the Aurora Mk II courier and the Corvid Stealth Scout rely heavily on software to handle what a crew would otherwise share. Flight Software Lead Jonas Lindqvist explains the architecture, from redundant flight computers to the open-source navigation core.

Autonomy Safety Researcher Aiyana Redcloud discusses how we test assistance features so they never surprise a pilot travelling at 1,450 km/s. Expect code walk-throughs and a long Q&A. The second half covers how we test software on hardware-in-the-loop rigs in Toulouse, how pilots report issues, and how fixes reach ships already in service across the Belt and the Jovian system.

Contributors to the open navigation core will share how outside patches are reviewed and merged.

Aimed at software engineers, avionics specialists and pilots curious about what runs under the hood.
