CRIMSON provides a production-ready flight software foundation so your team can focus on mission-specific innovation – not reinventing the framework.
Get to launch faster with a proven framework and ready-to-use applications
Leverage mission-proven software with extensive verification and testing.
Reuse, configure, and integrate - significantly reducing engineering time and cost.
Hardware abstraction and portable design simplify integration across platforms.
From CubeSats to flagship missions, CRIMSON scales with your requirements.
Access to Red Canyon's flight software experts every step of the way.
Red Canyon’s Ground Data System (GDS) Tool lets users send commands to the spacecraft and receive its telemetry. It also supports scripted regression and integration testing. Combined with the Red Canyon Spacecraft Simulation, the GDS Tool enables continuous integration, reduces hardware integration risk, and streamlines software Verification & Validation.
CRIMSON is based on the same Core Flight System that has flown on numerous successful NASA missions and is trusted by government and commercial programs worldwide.
