The Sage telemetry and command system comes preconfigured to interface with NASA's Core Flight Software. Core Flight Software (CFS) is an open source flight software framework. Sage parses the binary telemetry messages and presents the data in a human readable format as well as builds and sends binary commands from user input. The CFS Core Flight Executive and all the product line applications telemetry and commands are already defined in Sage, with a set of displays to view telemetry and interact with the flight software. You are also able to edit existing and create new data definitions, scripts, and displays. Sage is build on YAMCS, with a custom Telemetry/Command library to receive and transmit the CFS telemetry and command stream, predefined telemetry and command definitions, and prebuilt displays and scripts.
