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
Page 4
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

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

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

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
