Continuum Aerospace, since 2005, has been engaged in research and development in space and related areas. In the course of this we have developed a superior cohort of software professionals. Most of this software group have engineering backgrounds and see more than just the immediate firmware task at hand; rather we understand the bigger picture of the software's goals. We can manage the software/firmware development process including design, estimation and budgeting, version control and archiving, and quality assurance and documentation.

Firmware

We have experience under development environments including Windows, macOS, and Linux. We have designed and created many bare-metal applications, including bootloaders for spacecraft, rocket engine control and monitoring, and data aquisition. Often these required a hierarchical system with multiple microcontrollers executing firmware for real-time control of unique hardware together with supervisory software that includes the human interface and overall mission program. Technologies we've developed include imaging systems and image analysis, wired and wireless communications with varied protocols, power management and other satellite applications.

Design and Prototyping

Many of our projects have involved firmware for existing hardware but others have included complete design of the architecture and circuitry for the microcontroller systems. In our own lab we construct and debug the prototype electronics and the necessary accompanying mechanical hardware.

Other Software

We have experience working with AWS, FPGAs, web applications (frontend and backend), databases, and general Linux development.
