Tasking, ground segment and access.

Technologies

• Tasking, mission planning and revisit analysis Choosing what to acquire and when, modelling revisit, look angle and cloud risk against need.
• Orbit and conjunction data Standard orbit and conjunction messages used to predict passes and coordinate operations.
• Ground stations and downlink Tracking antennas and modems for S, X and Ka-band downlink in Earth exploration-satellite allocations.
• Space link extension and station networking Standard services that let a mission use stations operated by others.
• Direct broadcast and edge processing Receiving and processing satellite data on site for minutes-latency products without a round trip to a central archive.
• Optical ground stations Laser downlink terminals that relieve radio spectrum limits, with weather-diverse site networks.
• Ground segment security Link encryption, authentication and key management for command and telemetry.
• Licensing and remote sensing law National licences and data-distribution conditions for operating remote sensing systems and stations.
• Disaster activation and rapid mapping Emergency acquisition and mapping mechanisms that deliver imagery to responders.
