Ground Systems

• 

  The value-chain for satellite solutions includes provision of equipment or subsystems for prime contractors.

  Thales Alenia Space not only provides its own solutions directly to its end-customers, we also provide components and subsystems to other integrators. This is an excellent benchmark of our quality and cost-effectiveness. It also reflects the trust that the market puts into Thales Alenia Space as a Space solutions manufacturer, from components up to whole systems.

   

  Satcom Systems
  

  Thales Alenia Space offers a large portfolio of broadband satellite access solutions. These solutions deliver the network functionality to easily connect remote sites and bring all benefits of broadband and satellite optimized applications.

  
  Earth Stations
  

  Thales Alenia Space has a huge experience in Earth Station design and installations worldwide, using either internal products (a full range of high performance antennas designed for 30 years, base band equipment, RF products) or external COTS elements.

  
  Navigation Systems
  

  Based on EGNOS and Galileo programs a set of receivers has been developed for different applications.

  A combined Software Receiver for Galileo/GPS dedicated for mass market, a railway user navigation equipment and an integrated receiver for advanced safety of life for aircraft applications.

  
  Earth Observation
  

  The centerpiece in this family is the highly modular Advanced Data Acquisition System (ADAS) for Earth Observation, called OMNISAT. This equipment includes, beyond its basic demodulation function, a comprehensive set of data processing and test features

  
  Test Benches
  

  This family of products is dedicated to the test and control of Space Equipment, Payloads and Satellites.

  On one hand, it provides telecommands to the device under test and acquires telemetry. On the other, it performs measurements to qualify the equipment, payload or satellite.

  
  Satellite Control Segment
  

  The control products are designed on one hand to combine satellite & station telemetry processing, commanding and ranging, flight dynamics, scheduling and data management for real-time and off-line space segment operations and on the other hand to provide only telemetry command ranging.

  This family could answer from specific requirement up to complete space control center.

  
  Satellite Mission Segment
  

  This product line is dedicated to provide solutions to satellite operators to operate their payloads and traffic. It addresses complete mission segment with either payload test during IOT campaigns and or IOT routines (IOT product) mission preparation with signal allocation and payload configuration (PTM Product-Payload Traffic Management), monitoring and analysis of satellite signals versus traffic allocation (eCSM product), emitter geo-location, and also earth station Monitoring and control (Space M&C product).

  
  Special Products
  

  This family covers a range of products developed for non space applications such as:

  • Automated radionuclide monitoring system (ARAME)
  • Control and automation of sophisticated plants (Sirocco - Plasma Wind Tunnel)
  • Ciphering Station for data & mails
  • IP encryption
