We develop highly reliable flight software and ground software for satellites.
tenics specializes in space software engineering: From embedded flight software to ground control systems. We develop mission-critical software that works just as reliably in orbit as on the ground.
Our expertise: the development of mission-critical space software
Space missions require software that can be relied upon without compromise. Our team combines in-depth engineering expertise with agile methodologies. Working independently or in collaboration with our clients, we develop software solutions that meet the highest standards of quality, security, and timeliness.
Whether it is flight software for satellite modules or ground software for ground control systems – we accompany the entire development cycle from architecture through implementation and testing to operation in orbit.
“We combine the advantages of Traditional and New Space software engineering to create brilliant, future-oriented software solutions. What sets our work apart is the mix of data-driven, metrics-based automation, intelligent technology and team spirit.’”

Flight software – in-orbit Embedded Systems
Our flight software controls and monitors space systems directly in orbit. We develop embedded software for units, instruments, and satellite subsystems – robust, efficient, and validated for reliable use in space.
Ground software – ground control and EGSE systems
Our ground software supports operators, integrators, and startups in controlling, monitoring, and testing space systems. From EGSE applications to ground control systems, our software combines ease of use with maximum safety.
Space software engineering and process optimisation
In addition to development, we offer support and process engineering for space applications. We assist start-ups in setting up structures or help optimise existing development processes according to the extremely high standards of the space industry.
Who we support
Our clients come from all sectors of space software development, we work for specialised hardware operators to satellite integrators. tenics supports both established teams and emerging space scale-ups, wherever technical expertise and reliable implementation are crucial. We are your partner for mission-critical software.
