Context

CS Group responsabilities for SCC IVV, support in Technical and Operational Qualification and LEOP operations of N3SS et KINEIS missions are as follows:

Piloting by CS GROUP of the IVV. Piloting by CNES of TQ/OQ tests and support for the LEOP and routine phases of the 5 KINEIS constellation launches

Main Picture

The features are as follows:

AIV: development of LdP procedures and assignment, definition of strategy, plans and automated execution of tests (AIV tools for managing contexts, results, requirements) QT/OQ System Tests: preparation and support for the execution of compatibility/QT/OQ tests, development of ground operational procedures Support to Operations: resources integrated into the CNES teams for launch, in-flight acceptance and start of life (shifts, ground constraints)

Project implementation

The project objectives are as follows:

Assistance to engineering and support for the realization of ** Integration, System and operations qualification ** of the ** segments of control of the n3ss satellite and the KINEIS ** constellation implementing the ** line of Isis products**
ISIS missionization and integration on science cluster and Cloud
Development of the CNES/ESA/NASA IOAG demonstrator

The processes for carrying out the project are:

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

Technical characteristics

The solution key points are as follows:

Configuration and deployment of SCCs: Nominal, Standby, SCP/SSV (experts) and test lines
Operational qualification TM/TC ISIS chain: BDS configurations, sessions, SLE, COP, catalogs, TM visualization, TC histo
Implementation of ISIS operational concepts: procedures, automation
Experienced AIV team for rapid upskilling
