Object oriented approaches to development are supported by CASE tools with internally developed proprietary tools for quality control and generation of tests.
Quality assurance is performed independently of software development.
On-board satellite control software for the European Space Agency's XMM mission. The Huygens mission is to investigate the atmosphere and surface of Titan - the only one of Saturns moons to have an atmosphere. It consists of a probe which will be dropped into the Titan atmosphere by the NASA Cassini spacecraft 7 years after launch in 1997. SOHO was launched from the Kennedy Space Centre, Florida in December 1995 and has been operating successfully since then. The objective of the European Space Agency's Hipparcos mission was to produce an astrometric catalogue of about 100,000 stars to unprecedented accuracy levels.
