Many years of engineering experience have made operations preparation and validation for satellite and manned missions our core expertise.
Our engineers complete tasks throughout the operations spectrum from the specification of system requirements to the operational validation of the ground segment.
LSE Space engineers are also involved in the preparation of operational procedures and in the definition, preparation and execution of tests, simulations and rehearsals.
Their expertise spans both the spacecraft platform and the payload. Our engineering services also include operations execution. We provide dependable 24/7 operations for a wide variety of satellite and manned space missions.
These activities encompass real time monitoring and analysis of the telemetry during contact periods and transmission of telecommands and telecommand plans to the spacecraft.
Additionally, the operations engineers perform ground system configuration and initiate anomaly handling and resolution. To complete these tasks LSE Space also manages resource profiling, shift plan generation and training and certification of flight and ground controllers.
LSE Space takes responsibility for satellite operations engineering services in both the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the European Space Agency’s (ESA) ESOC and ESTEC centres.
