www.sscspace.com PrioraNet SLE Standardization
• SSC is finalizing the introduction of SLE to all sites • Decided to develop own SLE gateway • Independence from equipment providers implementations • Single interface to customers, ensuring same behavior for global network • SLE upgrades not available for all equipment • Currently being validated in cooperation with ESA
www.sscspace.com Processing at ground stations
• SSC Looking at improving latency from received data to delivery • Involved in NGI (Near Real-Time, GEO- Annotated Image) project w goal <10 min to ortho product • Live demonstration at SpaceOps next week
www.sscspace.com LTDP
• As a non-Archive owner, SSC has recently started the work to support LTDP projects • LTDP Safe Consolidation • LTDP Impact Analysis and Architecture Definition • SSC provides long experience and of providing third party mission ground segment services to ESA for many years
