F Prime
A flight-proven, component-driven framework for rapid development of spaceflight and embedded software applications.
What is F Prime?
F´ (F Prime) is an open-source flight software and embedded systems framework developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. It provides a component-driven architecture and tools for rapidly building reliable software for space applications like CubeSats and instruments. The framework includes a C++ core, modeling tools for automatic code generation, and testing utilities to ensure robustness in critical environments.
Embedded systems engineers and software developers working on spaceflight missions, CubeSats, SmallSats, instruments, or other safety-critical real-time applications. It's particularly suited for teams needing a proven, modular framework for flight software.
Developers choose F´ for its flight-proven reliability, component-driven modularity that speeds development, and comprehensive tooling including modeling and testing. As a NASA-developed open-source framework, it offers a trusted foundation for critical embedded systems without vendor lock-in.
