Our Approach

Adaptable. Flexible.
Agile.

The RDS software team is built upon over 40 years of supporting astronomical observatories in Australia. Our software development experience ranges from controlling telescopes and their instruments, to building data reduction pipelines, to developing and implementing tools that store, manage and analyse research data. 

Research Expertise

One of our key strengths is our research focus. The RDS team combines advanced software methodologies with research expertise; many team members have a strong astronomical postgraduate background. Our team has a wealth of experience and expertise in processing and analysing scientific data.

40

Years of
experience

The RDS team aims to be at the forefront of research software and data engineering. We look for the best technology to solve a problem, but at the same time realise the importance of software that can be maintained, extended and scaled. We appreciate the benefits that a holistic view of a software ecosystem can bring, but also recognise that a “deep dive” might be necessary to solve a complex problem. And while our historical strength has an astronomical flavour, our skills and expertise are increasingly recognised across research disciplines.
