Telespazio Germany GmbH[1][2][3] is a European aerospace company, founded in 1978.[4] The company provides consulting, technology and engineering services in aerospace missions for ESOC[5] (European Space Operations Centre, Darmstadt), EUMETSAT[6] (European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, Darmstadt) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR).[7][8]
Office site in Gilching,[10] near the German Space Operations Centre[11](GSOC) in Oberpfaffenhofen/Weßling (Bavaria).
History
edit
Telespazio Germany was established in 2012 when Telespazio Deutschland and VEGA Space GmbH were merged. The roots of Telespazio Deutschland may be traced back to the Thomson CSF Group (now Thales), having been active in space missions since the early 1970s. VEGA, on the other hand, had its first contract with ESOC in 1978. So Telespazio Germany has around 40 years experience in spaceflight.
2012: The German company VEGA Space GmbH merges with Telespazio Deutschland in Telespazio VEGA Deutschland
2012: VEGA Space Ltd changes its name in Telespazio VEGA UK
2007: VEGA Group acquires Anite Deutschland GmbH & Co KG in Köln.
2005: Thales and Finmeccanica form the Space Alliance[14] – merger between Telespazio and the space services division of Alcatel – Telespazio Deutschland is formed[15]
Development of an operational simulator for the Swarm mission, used at the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC).[41] Telespazio Germany staff are involved in the routine operations [42]
Involvement in the XMM-operations,[28] among others on concepts for In-tankreplenishment as well as automated on-ground FDIR techniques.
Programs
edit
HETEREX: Leading of the project HETEREX[44] which was funded by BWT (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Technologie), the project executing organisation was DLR. The project ended in 2013.[45]
Space Data Routers: Leading of the group 4 "Link Layer Implementation"
Space Situational Awareness (SSA): Telespazio Germany (formerly VEGA Space) was rewarded with the initial hardware and software components of the Combined Air Operations Centre in Uedem (Nordrhein-Westfalen).[46][47]
EGS-CC – The European Ground Systems Common Corecontract was conducted by a consortium of 20 companies from ten European countries under the leadership of Telespazio Germany.[48]
