Customer Voice
We are very happy to be able to use PikeOS for MPU because we were looking for a solution that would enable to execute applications with mixed criticality while addressing the increased threat level against space applications. The cybersecure foundation of PikeOS for MPU is a key advantage for Space Inspire.

Customer Voice
I want to thank SciSys and SYSGO for the work they have performed on the SecPar activity. The team has displayed an expert understanding of the underlying issues and has introduced TSP and security as a key future technology for our space missions. ESA plans to further develop security components with the objective to ensure the integrity, confidentiality and availability of spacecraft flight software and avionics.

Technology designed for demanding Space Requirements
SYSGO delivers technology to control space system tasks, manage mission data, and ensure secure communication — both between spacecraft subsystems and with ground stations. With a strong emphasis on fault tolerance, our systems support Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR).
We follow European space standardization efforts and apply proven expertise in Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) and Space Component Model (SCM) design principles.
Robust Hypervisor for Mixed-Criticality Systems
Modern space systems demand scalability, reusability, and energy efficiency. Our real-time OS and hypervisor meet these needs by enabling efficient multi-core usage, hardware consolidation, and low power consumption, all critical for today’s integrated Space Avionics.
Our hypervisor technology enables safe partitioning of applications with different criticality levels — from simple, high-priority control loops to full ARINC 653-compliant systems — all while maintaining real-time capabilities.
Ready for High & Low Orbit Missions
Our solutions support autonomous and manual operation, making them ideal for:
- Low Earth Orbit (LEO): E.g., telecom satellite constellations, Earth observation
- High orbit and deep space: E.g., asteroid landings, solar panel alignment
Key benefits include robust partitioning, secure communication, and real-time control.
Trusted Expertise in Space Software
Built by experienced aerospace software engineers, our pre-certified technology is reliable, field-tested, and continuously evolving. Innovations include real-time and hypervisor support on MPU-based systems — enabling lightweight yet powerful avionics designs, even without an MMU.
Reduced Complexity saves Weight, Energy, Space and Costs
PikeOS enables integration of a large number of electronic devices onto a single hardware platform.
Secure Communication protects Subsystems
Strict separation of applications into secure partitions allows authorized access only and avoids mutual interference.
Integrated Safety reduces Certification Cost
Applications of various levels of criticality and Security are separated from each other and can be certified separately.
Support for Space Industry Standards
PikeOS supports CAN, ARINC 653, POSIX, Linux guest OS and can support FACE profiles
High Scalability and Hardware Independence secure Investment
PikeOS allows legacy code re-use and reduces system boot-up time.
