Right from its beginnings Skytek has had its eyes on the stars, supporting human endeavour in the skies. We continue our collaborations with leading space agencies and organisations to deliver the software that powers satellites and manned spaceflight
Mobile Procedure Viewer
Skytek is developing the second generation of mobiPV project with the European Space Agency (ESA). The mobiPV project brings IPV to a smartphone to allow greater mobility & flexibility for the astronauts, but also to add extra features, such as two-way video communication and real time collaboration.
mobiPV technology offers wireless operation, voice navigation and real-time video streaming of crew work activities as well as procedures. The system is aimed at optimizing crew efficiency on board the ISS.

Working with leading aerospace manufacturer Airbus, Skytek is developing innovative software to assure correct assembly of spacecraft.
Spaceflight is an expensive business and so ensuring that spacecraft are designed, developed and assembled correctly is essential. Beginning in 2020, Skytek has commenced, in partnership with Airbus Defence and Space (Bremen), development of Assessment of Assembly, Integration and Testing Software (AIT) Support System software for the Science Missions project of the European Space Agency (ESA).
ESA Voice-Guided Procedural Execution
On future missions into deep space, humans and machines will need to work together to handle unexpected, complex and potentially hazardous situations without help from Earth. CRUISE is a technology/crew operations demonstration experiment for voice guided procedure execution system. The CRUISE project demonstrated voice-guided teamwork between crew and computer. This project is aimed at improving astronaut efficiency on long missions when movement is limited.

Prototype Media Helmet for MobiPV Implemented Using MS HoloLens
Augmented Reality (AR) technologies are the next step in Industry 5.0, bringing as-needed virtual information to the material world. Partnering with between the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Airbus D&S spacecraft manufacturing facility in Toulouse, Skytek has worked to deliver an AR solution that supports, manufacturing and testing, eases maintenance activities in remote locations and facilitates novel ways of using AR for replay of captured video and information.
IPV: Tailoring Procedures and Tasks
IPV is being used intensively on a day-to-day basis to provide advanced crew support.
This project sought to streamline astronauts workflow to ensure that only steps that are actually required to perform an activity are provided to the astronaut. XTP allows ground support to quickly and easily tailor a task to optimise efficient astronaut task execution.
E-Collaboration for Earth Observation
The E-Collaboration for Earth Observation (E-CEO) project addresses the technologies and architectures needed to provide a collaborative research platform for automating data mining and information extraction experiments.
The platform serves for the implementation of open contests focusing on Information Extraction for EO applications. The possibility to implement – through the contests – different approaches and algorithms in a common Software Environment (provided by the collaborative platform) facilitates the comparison and the evaluation between different methodologies, which is one of the main requirements requested by scientific experts who develop algorithms in the EO field.
The E-CEO main objective is to provide a collaborative research platform for:
