RAL Space had a leading role in the software development, initially in partnership with the Royal Greenwich Observatory and, after the closure of the RGO, Observatory Sciences Limited, a spin-off company created by ex RGO staff. RAL Space continued to support the observatory into the operational phase of the project, providing additional software for both the telescopes and several of the instruments.
