Manages and coordinates various test equipment components such as SCOE, FEEs, and Instrument EGSE for streamlined automated testing.
Ground Station Control
CCS5 allows simultaneous support of multiple ground stations, even in cases where the data exchange protocols vary from ground station to ground station. This includes full automation of ground station operations.
Real-time Status Display
Provides real-time insights into telemetry status and a comprehensive log of events and commands.
Process Automation
Enhances testing efficiency through automation and supports the creation of automated test programs as well as operation processes.
Data Archiving
Ensures systematic archiving of crucial data such as generated data, logs, and facilitates their retrieval for analysis purposes.
Zero Trust Security
Operate with confidence using CCS5’s advanced, Zero Trust–based security architecture. It safeguards critical data and ensures the integrity of satellite testing and operations by implementing centralized user authentication at every stage of your mission. Built on a secure-by-design principle, CCS5 delivers end-to-end protection you can rely on.
Communication Protocols
Communication with other elements of the EGSE (SCOEs, FEEs) is established through communication protocols, with TCP/IP serving as the underlying layer for efficient and reliable data exchange.
Flexibility for Satellite Programs
CCS5 is a flexible system designed to cater to any satellite program. During the AIT campaign, you can create specific test data for your spacecraft, including: preparation of a Telemetry/Telecommand database characterizing TM and TC contents, development and utilization of test procedures for verification, definition of displays (e.g., alphanumeric, synoptic pictures, graphs).
