Advanced Flight Software

Pioneering advanced flight software that drives mission success. Cimarron’s software performs critical aerospace operations, seamlessly integrating air and ground systems to enable precision control and performance in the most demanding flight environments.

Exploring Space-Grade Software Solutions

For more than four decades, Cimarron has engineered software for NASA’s human spaceflight missions, starting with real-time systems for Mission Control in the late 1980s and expanding across NASA exploration & lower earth orbit programs, and most recently, emerging commercial space stations. Today, we fuse that mission-proven heritage with modern software engineering practices, automated test and integration, and scalable on-premise and cloud architectures to deliver advanced flight software solutions that continue to evolve with the latest technologies while preserving the rigor, discipline, and insight that only decades of human spaceflight experience can provide.

Innovating DevOps-Lean-Agile Tools

Cimarron brings modern engineering discipline to flight-critical software by blending Lean, Six Sigma, Agile, and DevOps into unified, end-to-end build–test–deploy pipelines that maximize quality, safety, and development velocity. At the center of this approach is Aurora, Cimarron’s next-generation flight software development framework. Aurora accelerates software delivery through modular architectures, automated test and integration, and continuous verification workflows—while fully aligning with government and commercial avionics standards for safety-critical software (including NASA, crewed-space requirements, and industry-accepted DO-178-style practices). By combining proven human-spaceflight heritage with Aurora’s modern development methodology, Cimarron delivers mission-ready flight software faster, and more reliably.

Delivering Embedded Flight Software & data Systems

Cimarron engineers design and integrate real-time embedded flight software, high-fidelity hardware simulators, and advanced avionics test environments that support NASA’s exploration programs, mission operations, and next-generation commercial vehicles and space stations. As a CMMI Level 3–certified organization, we apply disciplined, repeatable engineering processes to develop, verify, and validate safety-critical software and integrate complex flight and ground data systems. This rigor ensures reliable vehicle behavior, robust fault management, and precise command execution—from pre-launch operations through every phase of the mission.
