We Help Get Spacecraft to Flight
SOLUTION
Encore™ & STAGE™ Flight Software
PROJECT
FLEX
Venturi Astrolab Lunar Rovers
Odyssey’s ENCORE™ flight software framework and STAGE™ development and test ecosystem were selected by Venturi Astrolab for implementation on their FLEX lunar rover. FLEX is being developed for combined commercial and NASA Lunar Terrain Vehicle applications. It will help Artemis astronauts explore more of the Moon’s surface on future missions.
Odyssey is also the principal development partner for the FLEX Flight Software and key simulation and training. Odyssey will develop and implement the Flight Software using ENCORE™ and STAGE™, create the astronaut training simulation and simulator and perform the Safety & Mission Assurance functions required by NASA – among other responsibilities for the Venturi Astrolab Team.

PROJECT
Dream Chaser, Launching 2025
Sierra Space Dream Chaser
The Odyssey team has been selected to perform implementation and testing of the flight software for the Sierra Space Dream Chaser spaceplane. Dream Chaser will provide cargo transportation to and from the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Resupply Services 2 program. The vehicle is being designed to evolve for the accommodation of crew and for missions to other Low Earth Orbit destinations.
Odyssey’s role includes implementation and testing of the flight software suite for the entire mission – from launch to landing – with our Sierra Space customer. The work will be performed to the exacting technical and safety specifications required by Sierra Space and NASA at Odyssey’s locations in Houston, TX and Boulder, CO.

Orion, Next Launch 2026
Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV)
Odyssey is part of the Lockheed Martin team supporting NASA’s Orion project. The Odyssey role includes development of vehicle guidance, navigation and control (GNC), simulation and flight software development, and related analysis for the EM-1 demonstration mission and the EM-2 crew mission.
Odyssey also supports the Kedalion Lab located at the Johnson Space Center. Through Kedalion, Odyssey provides support to the Houston Orion Test Hardware (HOTH) lab for hardware and software in the loop simulations, the Integrated Test Lab (ITL) for hardware in the loop simulations with an Orion mockup, and Operation and Controls (O&C) to prepare the Orion flight vehicle for launch.
