Solenix will support ESA in the development of a concept and an accompanying software tool to support ground segment design activities. Solenix’s activities are part of a contract recently awarded to a Telespazio Vega Deutschland led consortium with the main goal to develop the architecture and an initial version of an environment that will achieve “paperless” ground segment engineering.
Solenix Deutschland GmbH (DE), with its subcontractors GISAT s.r.o (CZ), Progressive Systems Srl (IT), Qualteh JR Srl (RO) and TERRASIGNA Srl (RO), is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract by the European Space Agency (ESA) for the maintenance and evolution of mobile applications for the Space Component of Copernicus - the European Earth Observation Programme.
On 8th September, ESOC organised the "Long Night of the Stars" event to celebrate its 50 year anniversary. This event was open to the public and gathered visitors from Darmstadt and its surroundings, passionate for space and fascinated by the activities that are conducted at ESOC. Our colleagues Toril Bye Rinnan and Thorsten Graber took part in the event showing future concepts and plans for human-robotic missions in the Moon tent. We met up with them to know more about their experience.
Our colleague Alessandro Marin was one of the lecturers during the "7th Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing" that took place at the Szent István University, in Gödöllő, Hungary.
More than 70 students from more than 30 countries attended the course on "Cloud Computing and the ESA Exploitation Platforms", which provided them the chance to explore the pre-operation versions of the different Thematic Exploitation Platforms.
In our last workshop we have discussed software test design including all of the factors that are important for software tests.
Those covered from the question of what to test up to best practices on how to keep the test suite alive, relevant and easy to extend.
We discussed the following topics, among others:
Solenix is delighted to announce that its contract for software prototyping and mobile app development with ESA/ESRIN has been extended for two years and will now run until September 2019. In this contract, Solenix leads an international consortium with Terrasigna Srl (RO), GISAT s.r.o. (CZ), Progressive Systems Srl (IT) and Qualteh JR Srl (RO) as subcontractors.
Solenix, as part of a GMV INSYEN led consortium, has been awarded by ESA a contract to evaluate the feasibility of using Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) for space-to-ground communications.
With the purpose of delivering a simpler experience and a more complete service to their customers, Solenix GmbH and Leaf Space Srl are announcing a partnership that will result in the seamless integration between Solenix’s mission control system and Leaf Space’s ground segment services.
Solenix has recently been awarded with an ESA Kick-Start Activity. This is a funding scheme launched by the Integrated Applications Promotion at ESA, which supports the development of innovative ideas that make use of space capabilities and data.
Solenix submitted a proposal under the topic "Outdoor Tourism". The goal of this project is to conduct a feasibility study to explore if the proposed business idea has market potential.
On 20 and 21 June 2017, the sixth edition of the European Ground System Architecture Workshop (ESAW) took place at ESOC in Darmstadt, Germany.
Our colleagues Martin Tykal and Yann Voumard attended the event, which brings together international companies and organisations around the topic of ground systems architecture for space missions. This year the focus was given to collaboration and common solutions.
