## European Space Operations Centre

- _The Purpose of ESA_
- ESA is an intergovernmental organisation with a mission to provide and promote, for exclusively peaceful purposes:
- Space science, research and technology
- Space applications
- ESA achieves this through:
- space activities and programmes
- long-term space policy
- a specific industrial policy
- coordinating European national space programmes

## European Space Operations Centre

- ESA has 17 Member States
- Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom
- Canada takes part in some projects under a cooperation agreement

**Notes:**
EU: Luxembourg, Grèce
ESA: Suisse, Norvège

## European Space Operations Centre

- _The ESA Programmes_
- All Member States participate in activities and a common set of programmes related to space science (mandatory programmes)
- In addition, members choose their level of participation in the following optional programmes:
- Manned spaceflight
- Microgravity research
- Earth observation
- Telecommunications
- Navigation
- Launcher Development

-  Mission Operations Information System (MOIS)
- Tool for operations procedures development and maintenace
-  Editing, configuration control, traceability, document production
-  I/F to satellite database (SCOS)
-  Based on WINFOPS (Windows Flight Operations Procedures System) – 	COTS (Microsoft Office) procedure generation tool
-  Easy to use, familiarity, configurable (1-2 mm per mission)
-  All current ESA (except Integral) and future missions based on MOIS
-  Automation of sytem using PLUTO scripts
-  Typical sizing:	ENVISAT 1700 procedures
- 		ROSETTA 700 procedures

- _Engineering Tools - Operations Preparation_

- European Space Operations Centre

- SCOS-2000 – Spacecraft Control Operations System supports all functions needed to acquire, process, display and archive TM and to send and archive TCs:
-   Runs on UNIX Platforms (SUN/Solaris or PC/LINUX)
-   Modern layered architecture
-   Supports packet TM and TC CCSDS standards and ESA PUS standard
-   Highly scalable (from single WS or PC – ‚SCOS-2000 in a box‘, to complex                           configuration with over tens of WS)
-   Multi-mission support (constellations) – architecture design
-  - Studies eg. Related to Galileosat)
-  Satellite check-out eg. Herschel-Planck
-  Satellite level
-  Instrument (P.I.) level

- _Engineering Tools - SCOS-2000_

- European Space Operations Centre

- Software Infrastructure for Modelling SATellites (SIMSAT)
-   Dec/alpha VMS version currently used – phased out
-   PC/Windows-NT version (current baseline)
-   Move towards LINUX/PC version (2005-2006)
- Generic models
-   Customisable and re-usable
-   Currently available models include: position and environment, 1750 processor emulation, ERC32 emulation (all missions from Cryosat), power distribution, OBDH protocol, packet TM encoding and TC decoding, ground station equipment
-  Will be upgraded to support new simulator model portability standards in the near future
-  Future: 64-bit Intel processor emulation
