ABOUT
TatraSpace is a deep tech startup developing WisentWire, a platform designed to eliminate hardware testing bottlenecks in embedded systems development. By connecting physical hardware to our platform, we provide a gateway to automate internal resource management and testing processes. This enables remote flashing, debugging, and validation with external devices while significantly reducing the potential for human error.
WisentWire offers native support for embedded developers, providing seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines and our open API, the platform integrates naturally into existing developer workflows without requiring a revolution in established routines. Our solution uniquely combines specialized hardware with a powerful software layer, allowing for advanced Fault Injection and the validation of FDIR (Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery) procedures. This ensures that flight software can handle anomalous conditions before it leaves the laboratory environment.
The platform is built to empower the entire engineering team, providing systems and hardware specialists with the autonomy to manage complex test environments independently without constant reliance on software developers. For the space sector, WisentWire streamlines Hardware in the Loop (HIL) testing, which is a critical requirement for meeting ECSS standards. The platform allows satellite manufacturers and payload providers to identify integration risks early, reducing time to fly and operational costs.
WHY IT MATTERS
- Orchestration of Assets: Manage and schedule shared hardware resources to ensure maximum utilization of expensive satellite prototypes and modules.
- Mission Critical FDIR Validation: Perform automated fault injection to test how flight software reacts to sensor failures or corrupted data, ensuring robust recovery procedures.
- Seamless CI/CD Integration: Native support for automated pipelines and an open API allow for continuous testing of firmware on real hardware with every code commit.
- Hybrid HW and SW Ecosystem: By providing both the management software and the necessary hardware interfaces, we reduce the effort required to build and maintain complex test rigs.
- Simplified Test Creation: Our solution lowers the barrier for test development, enabling systems engineers and hardware specialists to create automated scenarios without deep programming expertise.
- Unified Modular Integration: WisentWire allows geographically separated satellite modules to communicate and function as one integrated system during the validation phase.
