Ground Segment SW

Planetek participates to the definition and implementation of software for space systems for Earth Observation missions, such as ERS, Envisat and COSMO-SkyMED. In this field our Space Software and Solutions team develop real-time systems, space software developer, compilers and programming languages implementer, and customised interfaces to the users to allow optimum utilization of the system resources in line with the user needs.

Moreover, we provide technologies to receive and process the satellite data acquired by the spacecrafts instruments, solutions and systems to archive, disseminate, publish and share the generated products as well as engineering consulting services for new missions definition, feasibility studies, ground control system architecture definition, requirements specification and design.

The previous activities are included into the "Ground Segment" systems, set up on Earth to manage and control the space missions and to receive and process the data produced by the spacecraft's instruments.
