Context

CS Group responsabilities for CPCC IVV and developments, support in Technical and Operational Qualification and LEOP of CSO mission are as follows:

- IVV and developments: CS GROUP prime contractor (10 engineers), TQ/OQ tests piloted by CNES

Main Picture

The features are as follows:

AIV: development of operational procedures, definition of plans and automated execution of tests Specification and Development of components DAC (archiving), RESA (reservation of SOL stations), GLV management of LVs, management of encryptors, DESKTOP Interface engineering Quality Support for developments and AIV (Qualification Files) QT/OQ System tests: preparation and support for the execution of tests Support to Operations: rounds and on-call duty on the GROUND and MISSION Technical support to FDS, MAP teams

Project implementation

The project objectives are as follows:

Support for the qualification of the CPCC CSO for the launches of the RECO1 (2018) and IDENT (2020) satellites

The processes for carrying out the project are:

Requirements management (STB, IF): Testlink and Excel
Specific Process for Assembly, Integration, Validation Qualification of Control Ground Segments
Qualification system tests of control ground segments: Compatibility, Technical and Operational Qualification

The solution key points are as follows:

Successful implementation of a first functional alternative solution in less than 6 months based on OpenCenter
Very tense schedule challenging for the teams
Strong reactivity of the development team
Deployment of a multisat solution on an operational monosat center
Complex mission: chronology of bi-satellite activities, satellite carrying the COA
