Sumus is familiar with all aspects of software development, and has a proven track record for delivering projects on-time and on-budget.

Some examples of our projects:

• Tracker, a commercially available Windows program for satellite tracking, is under active development by Sumus, and is already in use by several satellite missions. To learn more about Tracker, or to download a demo version, please click here to visit the stltracker.com website.

• Using General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data, Sumus has created a series of movies showing transit activity for a city or region over a 24 hour period, as well as a series of images showing transit density within a city or region. A map of the available videos is available here.
