When Reliability is Key

Ground based systems make an essential contribution to mission reliability. From testing spacecraft before launch to supporting secure and efficient operations in orbit, Terma provides proven ground segment solutions tailored to the requirements of each mission.

Optimize the Efficiency and Cost of Your Spacecraft Operation or Testing Program

At Terma, we provide technologies where they improve mission reliability, operational efficiency, or lifecycle cost.

With Terma, you can test your spacecraft on the ground before launch and use the same system, mission data, procedures, and interface during operations. Using a consistent toolset across these phases reduces handover effort, protects data integrity, and allows validated procedures to move more efficiently into mission operations.
