Simulation and Modelling
Telespazio VEGA is a leading name in Europe
for software simulators. Within ESA alone, Telespazio VEGA has
developed many operational simulators and has been instrumental in
the development of ESA’s simulation infrastructure.
Through this heritage, Telespazio VEGA has
developed a portfolio of smart solutions to support the complete
programme lifecycle. This includes:
- Concept and design simulation
- System and functional engineering simulation
- Test bed engineering simulation
- On-board software verification facilities
- Operations and ground segment simulators
Each solution has specific benefits to the
customer through the lifecycle, although considering them all
through the complete lifecycle brings the additional benefits of
re-use, risk reduction and cost efficiency.
Telespazio VEGA has developed several products
to support these simulation solutions through the lifecycle, either
working together with ESA or as independent products. These
include:
SimVis – Concept and
design simulation developed to work with Concurrent Design
Facilities (CDF). Developed for ESA/ESTEC for mission and
system design simulation within the ESTEC CDF.
- SIMSAT – ESA’s real-time simulation
infrastructure – used mainly for development of high fidelity
operational satellite simulators.
- SimsEmu – ESA’s processor emulator,
providing high fidelity emulation of the ERC32 and 1750 on-board
processors.
- EGSE-Lite – Telespazio VEGA’s
solution to support development, integration, verification and
validation of space-based components with on-board software - via
the use of processor emulation.
- GSTVi – Ground Segment Test and
Verification Infrastructure – ESA’s simulation suite to support
plug and play testing of ground segment systems
- STC – the Spacecraft Operations
Training Centre - Telespazio VEGA’s training solution for
spacecraft operations combining real-time satellite simulation with
effective training courses.
