Last month, Solenix attended the Kick-Off of the Open Geospatial Consortium's Testbed 15 initiative in Reston, Virginia, U.S.A.. For the third year running, Solenix participates in an OGC Testbed, the largest event of OGC's Innovation Program.
We are very pleased to announce that we have gained EUMETSAT’s trust to maintain and evolve two bespoke pieces of software, which were developed in-house to meet EUMETSAT’s needs for dissemination. The two packages are crucial to the daily operations of our customer, as they contribute to the handling of EUMETSAT’s core output: the meteorological product data. These two tools are:
On 28 March, Solenix gave 11 young girls the opportunity to have a closer look at the everyday life of a software engineering company.
The last week of September was one of the most important in the recent history of ESRIN, the Italian establishment of the European Space Agency, to which Solenix provides engineering and management support services since almost a decade.
Last week the 15th edition of the biennially conference on Space Operations took place in Marseille (France). This technical forum addresses state-of-the-art concepts, processes and tools in the area of space mission operations and ground systems and it attracts professionals and academia from all over the world.
Once more, Solenix was present in this conference with the participation of three of our colleagues, who presented the output of their work in different sessions of the event.
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, 30th May 2018 – Under the aegis of the Swiss Space Center, a new working group focusing on software for satellite operations was created by four of its members: Astrocast SA, the Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz FHNW, the Haute-Ecole Arc and Solenix Schweiz GmbH.
Last weekend the Solenix team travelled to Würzburg (Germany) for a weekend break away.
On Friday afternoon, we visited the winery "Weingut am Stein", where we were treated to a wine tasting session. We had the chance to learn some more about the region of Franconia, their grapes and their famous wines. After preparing our palates at the winery, we headed to the "Backöfele", a fine traditional restaurant, where we tasted the best of the local cuisine.
On the 20 April, the second experiment for MARVIN, the Multi-purpose Astronaut and Remote Vehicle INteraction, was successfully executed. MARVIN is an ESA project, a cooperation between EAC (the European Astronaut Centre) and ESOC. Two Solenix colleagues are involved in the activity: Toril Bye Rinnan, as the experiment manager, and Thorsten Graber, as a member of the in-scenario ground operations team and responsible for ICT.
Solenix is delighted to announce that it will be heavily involved in this year’s OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) innovation activities. In 2017, its maiden year of OGC membership, Solenix participated in OGC Testbed 13. This year, it will play a major role in OGC Testbed 14, where in fact it has been awarded deliverables in two different threads: the EOC (Earth Observation Clouds) one, sponsored by ESA, and the NextGen (Next Generation) one, in which it is a direct supplier of the OGC.
