Space Software Summit

The Space Software Summit is a premier engineering conference dedicated to exploring the latest innovations in aerospace software. This event invites engineers, developers, managers, and teams from various sectors, including ground, flight, DevOps, and security, to engage in discussions surrounding critical topics such as AI, onboard high-compute technologies, command and control systems, CI/CD pipelines, and comprehensive software development for both ground and flight operations. Attendees will have the opportunity to stay updated on the current state of the aerospace software industry while participating in interactive sessions and the AI Vibe Coding Hackathon, a competitive coding event designed to promote innovation and collaboration among professionals in the field.The summit features an impressive lineup of sessions and workshops covering a wide array of subjects. Key presentations include discussions on the Robotic Operating System (ROS) in space applications, the use of NASA's core Flight System (cFS) for modern SmallSat payloads, advancements in flight dynamics with the Callisto system developed for Firefly, and significant upgrades to the FreeFlyer space mission design software by Trident Smyth. Attendees will also learn about cutting-edge techniques such as near real-time sensor fusion, advanced automated maneuver planning, and the development of reliable flight software for spacecraft subsystems. Exhibitors will showcase innovative solutions for autonomous spaceflight intelligence and safety, emphasizing the importance of data quality filtering and automated reporting. Networking opportunities abound, with multiple breakfast sessions and happy hour events strategically placed throughout the agenda, allowing participants to connect and exchange ideas. The conference will culminate in a wrap-up session and awards ceremony, celebrating outstanding contributions to the field of aerospace software.
