We are able to provide :
Engineering support covering system, hardware and software expertise during development phase of a project, covering various aspects:
- Requirement specification
- Functional and architectural specification elaboration
- Benchmarking
- Development follow – up and expertise
- Budget and compliance assessment
- Sub contractor management
- Integration
- Application software specification / development / integration
- Operation assistance
This support can be achieved in factory or on site.
Customer support during operation and maintenance, either on a phone consultancy basis, either on a "ready to go" basis (under 48hours in Western Europe) or directly on customer site.
EGSE Engineering Support
Phase B Support
Clemessy is used to provide Engineering support for EGSE definition during Definition phase. This support can be achieved in Clemessy’s premises (with regular check points with the customers), or on an embedded team basis at the customer premises.
This engineering support is to be considered as a concurrent engineering: While the customer defines the spacecraft, we define in parallel the necessary AIT EGSE (for the sub systems themselves or for global AIT of the sub systems). Our Engineering is driven by the customer iterative requirement evolutions, each step been validated either through progress meeting, either through review with overall prime contractor.
Phase C/D Support
Clemessy is used to provide Engineering support for MAIT covering system, hardware and software expertise during Implementation phase.
This engineering covers various aspects:
- EGSE requirement specification
- EGSE / SCOE functional and architectural specification elaboration
- Ground Harness engineering
- EGSE benchmarking
- EGSE development follow – up and expertise
- EGSE budget and compliance assessment
- EGSE sub contractor management
- EGSE integration
- Application software specification / development / integration
- Spacecraft AIT / AIV operation assistance
This engineering support can be achieved in factory or on site.
Phase E Support
Clemessy is used to provide Customer support during LEOP operations. This support can be organized following several solutions:
- a telephone hot line basis (phone consultancy)
- a “ready to go” basis (our experts are geographically factory based and we commit that on request, they will be on site – launch site – before a maximum time to be defined, for intervention, consultancy, troubleshooting, …)
- a launch site presence
This performance has been achieved for all the satellites for which Clemessy has provided EGSE, at a minimum on a telephone hot line basis.
Operation support :
Clemessy is strongly involved in various launch pad operations since the early 70. This involvement covers not only launch pad operations but even local performance of electrical engineering and installation :
European Spaceport :
Clemessy is present in Kourou through a permanent team, under Arianespace authority, for the daily launch pad operations and for the specific launch pad campaign.
This team of around 30 engineers and technicians, is embedded in the Ariane (respectively Soyuz and VEGA) team for the following activities :
- EGSE and FGSE system software development and maintenance
- EGSE and FGSE application software development, maintenance and customisation for each launch
- EGSE and FGSE database maintenance and customisation for each launch
- EGSE and FGSE hardware adaptation and maintenance
- EGSE and FGSE configuration management (HW and SW)
- Ground – S/C interface configuration
In parallel of these embedded team, Clemessy provides electrical engineering, development and maintenance performance to many local customers (EDF, administrations, supermarkets, Arianespace, EADS, CNES, ..). These activities are fulfilled through a local autonomous establishment of around 70 staff, engineers and technicians.
In Kazakhstan :
For each Soyuz launch in Baïkonur, Clemessy provides an expert team embedded in the Starsem teams. This embedded team is aimed to support the Starsem team for all facility management operations and specific electrical launch operations (ground – S/C interface configuration, …).
