Back in 2014, a consortium led by Solenix was awarded the Frame Contract for Social Media and Mobile Applications Development for EO Ground Segment and Mission Operations for the ESA Centre for Earth Observation (ESA/ESRIN).

Solenix is the software partner in a consortium led by SPARC, which has been awarded a new contract by the European Space Agency to develop the ground processor for the next generation radiation monitor (NGRM) instrument in the scope of the Space Situational Awareness programme.

We are happy to announce that a new web application we have developed for EUMETSAT and the Virtual Laboratory for Training and Education in Satellite Meteorology (VLab) of the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) is available to the public here! The objective of this application, which is the successor of EUMETSAT’s Training Calendar, is to widen the access to the training opportunities that both EUMETSAT and the VLab offer, making sure that they reach as many people as possible.

The European Space Agency commissions bespoke software that is developed by a wide range of industry partners from different countries, with the added value that any resulting system becomes licensable to any organisation in an ESA member state. One very important aspect is to ensure licensability, i.e. the produced software does not infringe any copyright or third-party rights. Besides other roles, the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) is responsible for the Intellectual Property Management services within ESA.
