FreeFlyer is owned and developed by a.i. solutions, Inc. and is utilized by NASA, NOAA, and the USAF for space mission operations, mission assurance, and analysis support.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]}

FreeFlyer has been used to support many spacecraft missions, for mission planning analysis, operational analysis, or both. Specific mission examples include the International Space Station (ISS),^[7] the JSpOC Mission System,^[8] the Earth Observing System,^[9][10] Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO),^[11] and Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS).^[12]

FreeFlyer has also been successfully used to conduct analysis in both the high-performance computing (HPC) and service-oriented architecture (SOA) environments.^[13][14]

FreeFlyer is one stand-alone product with two tiers of rising functionality.

FreeFlyer contains an object-oriented scripting language and an accompanying integrated development environment.

Below is a basic FreeFlyer script that creates and displays a spacecraft:

// Create a spacecraft object
Spacecraft sc1;


// Create a ViewWindow, passing sc1 as part of an array of objects to view 
ViewWindow vw({sc1});


// Propagate and view the spacecraft for two days
While (sc1.ElapsedTime < TimeSpan.FromDays(2));
    sc1.Step();
    vw.Update();
End;
