PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations) is an M-class mission of the European Space Agency’s Cosmic Vision program, whose launch is foreseen by 2026. The mission objective is to detect and characterize exoplanets via the transit method as well as the characterization of stellar mass and age of their host stars through asteroseismology.
The PLATO payload is based on a multi-telescope...
GMV works in many activities aimed at developing, validating and verifying up to TRL-5 advanced GNC and image processing algorithms to process autonomously on-board of a spacecraft a Vision-Based Navigation system for Descent & Landing scenario to small bodies. For the last year GMV has been developing under ESA activity the Engineering Model (EM) of the Vision-Based Navigation Camera (VNBC)...
SCISYS is experienced in producing resilient software implementations of critical space flight algorithms. Recent developments in space qualified FPGA technologies have enabled a range of new applications for hardware accelerated algorithms for space applications. The reduction in execution time and resource usage allows for more complex algorithms to be used in a wider range of use cases....
Modular Avionic approaches have been around for 40 years but vary widely in implementation and the extent of both hardware and software levels of unification. The IMA concept, which replaces numerous separate processors and LRU with fewer, more centralized processing units, has led to significant weight reduction and maintenance savings in both military and commercial airborne platforms....
Local and short-term extreme weather conditions endanger seamless maritime logistics and quasi-autonomous operation in today’s global and cross-linked economy. Not only, there is more likelihood of accidents and associated environmental damage. Shipping traffic is also increasingly the target of piracy, organized crime and terrorism. Moreover, illegal maritime activities such as illegal...
