Earth observation

Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite

Korea Aerospace Research Institute (South Korea)
Delivery of SAS SCOE which will allow power simulation of satellite solar panels (sun light/eclipse transition simulation).
KOMPSAT is an optical high-resolution Korean observation mission of KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute). 

Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT-3/4)

KOMPSAT is an optical high-resolution Korean observation mission of KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute). The objective is to provide observation continuity from the KOMPSAT-1 and KOMPSAT-2 missions to meet the nation's needs for high-resolution optical imagery required for GIS (Geographical Information Systems) and other environmental, agricultural and oceanographic monitoring applications.

GMES Sentinel-3 Ocean Land Colour Instrument (OLCI)

Thales Alenia Space Cannes (France)
Delivery of OLCI EGSE. The aim of EGSE is to provide to AIT team, an electrical ground support equipment to perform power supply and control/command of the OLCI equipment. The Power & Control/Command SCOE will be used to communicate with the OEU of OLCI. Therefore, it will substitute the interfaces of the SMU (Software Management Unit) and the PCDU (Power and Conditioning Distribution Unit).
Sentinel-3 mission is devoted to operational oceanography and global land application. It requires the concurrent operations of two similar satellites in orbit.

GMES Sentinel-3 Virtual Engineering Model (VEM)

Thales Alenia Space Cannes (France)
Delivery of the satellite virtual engineering model sometimes called “flatsat”. It is an incremental test bench designed to perform the avionic qualification and system performance verifications. It is composed of numerical simulators completed as one goes along with electronics EM.

GMES Sentinel-2

Airbus Defence & Space [former EADS Astrium GmbH Friedrichshafen] (Germany)
Delivery of Power SCOEs which allowed simulating solar panels, spacecraft main bus, separation straps and various switches, charging batteries and providing bi-polar high power commands.
Sentinel-2 is a multi-spectral optical imaging mission for high resolution land observation with a large swath width. It is developed in the frame of the initiative for Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES), jointly undertaken by the European Commission and ESA.

GMES Sentinel-1 DCLAS

Thales Alenia Space Roma (Italy)
Delivery of Load SCOE which allowed static load simulation, dynamic load simulation, current, voltage & temperature acquisition, RS422 interface and thermistor simulation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) equipment.
Sentinel-1 is a C-band imaging radar mission consisting of a pair of satellites aimed at providing an all-weather day-and-night supply of imagery for GMES user services.

GMES Sentinel-1 SAR Antenna Subsystem (SAS)

Airbus Defence & Space [former EADS Astrium GmbH Friedrichshafen] (Germany)
Delivery of SAS, SAS Power and DCU SCOE’s which allowed power provision, power synchronization signals, command and control, monitoring of SAS sensors and actuators. More over SOCE’s provided ability to command and control the deployment control unit, power up the hold down release mechanism (HRM).

EarthCare

Airbus Defence & Space [former EADS Astrium GmbH Friedrichshafen] (Germany)
Delivery of Power SCOE’s which allowed simulating satellite solar panels, main bus power, separation straps and various switches of EarthCare spacecraft.
The mission objective of EarthCARE is to help in determining the Earth radiation budget by providing global observations of vertical profiles of clouds and aerosols; the EarthCARE is an ESA lead mission developed in cooperation between ESA and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency).

SWARM

Airbus Defence & Space [former EADS Astrium GmbH Friedrichshafen] (Germany)
Delivery of Power SCOE’s which allowed simulating satellite solar panels, main bus power, separation straps and various switches of SWARM spacecraft’s.
The objective of the Swarm mission is to provide the best ever survey of the geomagnetic field and its temporal evolution, and gain new insights into improving our knowledge of the Earth’s interior and climate.
