The first operational use of one of our software products was for the STRV-1A and STRV-1B satellites launched in 1994. Since then our products have been used in many further operational applications.
Ground testing applications of the Telecommand Encoder Shell include
The Telecommand Encoder Shell is being used for commanding or ground testing for a number of other space missions around the world. It has been incorporated into the telecommand products of space industry companies in Europe and the USA.
The Telecommand Decoder Shell has been used by ESA for spacecraft simulators and for self-testing facilities in groundstation telecommand encoders. It has been built into operational systems in the USA and Asia.
Our software to support ESA Telecommand Authentication is used by customers in Europe and Asia. A European space industry company is using our telecommand products with the new Segment Level Security Interface.
The Telemetry Decoder Shell is used in systems in Asia and the Americas.
The four telecommand and telemetry shells (Telecommand Encoder and Decoder Shells / Telemetry Encoder and Decoder Shells) form part of the Packet Telecommand and Telemetry Simulator. The simulator has been used in studies for ESA for validation of the behaviour of new CCSDS protocols:
