\"Thales<\/p>\n

Thales Alenia Space and Exotrail have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop an innovative surveillance, command and control (SCC) solution designed to meet the needs of constellations of small satellites, based on NewSpace concepts and technologies. This partnership combines the proven satellite systems expertise of Thales Alenia Space with Exotrail\u2019s disruptive space mobility solutions.<\/p>\n

Complementary technologies<\/strong><\/p>\n

This collaboration intends to integrate Exotrail\u2019s spacetower<\/strong> flight dynamics system software (FDS) with Thales Alenia Space\u2019s OPEN SCC satellite control solution. Together, they will cover the full spectrum of engineers\u2019 and operators\u2019 flight dynamics and satellite operations requirements.<\/p>\n

Exotrail\u2019s spacetower software is a cloud-native flight dynamics system tailored to meet the comprehensive needs of flight dynamics engineers, including orbit determination and maneuver planning. Built on a scalable microservices architecture, spacetower can accommodate satellite constellations of any size. It integrates seamlessly with ground segments via OpenAPI and is deployable both in the cloud and on-site. <\/p>\n

Thales Alenia Space\u2019s OPEN SCC solution spans a broad range of operations, from testing and preparation to real-time surveillance and automated satellite control. OPEN SCC is flexible and capable of managing a single satellite or large constellation, whatever the mission (communication, Earth observation or navigation) and orbit (low Earth, medium Earth or geostationary).<\/p>\n

This solution can be deployed on-premises or as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) within a cloud infrastructure. It will offer customized and scalable features to provide a high degree of agility for ground segments, as well as close customer support.<\/p>\n

Vision for the future<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a key player in communication constellations such as Globalstar 1 & 2, O3b and Iridium NEXT, and the Kineis Internet of Things (IoT) constellation, Thales Alenia Space will join forces with Exotrail in the new-generation constellations market to further Europe\u2019s independence in space.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be working with Exotrail to offer an end-to-end solution supporting the transformation of satellite operations,\u201d said Dima Tanzilli<\/strong>, Head of Operational Strategy at Thales Alenia Space. \u201cThe synergies from our respective know-how and expertise will serve our customers\u2019 future needs effectively, through a constructive approach in which Europe\u2019s space sovereignty is a prime concern.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very proud to be working with Thales Alenia Space and to combine spacetower with OPEN SCC, a gold standard in space operations,\u201d added S\u00e9bastien Dum\u00e9nil<\/strong>, Exotrail CCO. \u201cThis partnership between new and established players offers a unique solution for operators, particularly of constellations, helping them to deploy and ramp up their satellite control and operations centers.\u201d<\/p>\n
