Atos supports OneWeb in successful launch of 34 new satellites

Atos’ testing solutions instrumental in cutting-edge project

Paris, February seventeen, 2020

Atos, a international leader in electronic transformation, announces that it has supported OneWeb and its mega-constellation program in the productive start of 34 satellites which was executed on February 6 from Baikonur, Kazakhstan. Atos contributed to this achievements by providing to OneWeb Satellites the testing equipment with revolutionary systems that have considerably decreased the environmental footprint of the approach – and obtained an award from OneWeb Satellites for the Payload Take a look at Devices (PTS) and Tele Command Ranging (TCR) solutions.

This important ‘OneWeb mega-constellation’ project, led by OneWeb Satellites[one]  and supported by Atos, requires sending into orbit, about a period of time of time, additional than 650 satellites which will provide inexpensive large-speed Online obtain throughout the globe. The first 6 satellites were released in February 2019.

“We are happy to assist this kind of an ambitious program with our testing solutions we be certain all OneWeb Satellites are rigorously analyzed in the most effective and productive way. Jointly with OneWeb Satellites, we make the mass-manufacturing of satellites authentic.” explained Bruno Milard, VP, Head of Small business Unit Aerospace & Protection Electronics at Atos. “Atos is delighted to assist determine the major edge of satellite production technology.”

Thanks to its advanced solutions, Atos was named “Best Ground Guidance Devices (GSE) supplier” by OneWeb Satellites in recognition of its technological and business capabilities and the good quality of its solutions and client assist. The award was presented at the OneWeb Satellites International Partnership Summit 2020.

Atos’ ProUST univerSAS suite is composed of Ability and RF particular check out-out equipment (SCOE) for electrical floor assist equipment (EGSE) which allows satellites to be analyzed prior to start – to reduce or fix any problems and make confident prerequisites are fulfilled, thus minimizing the strategic and economical impact of faulty components.

Dependent on a breakthrough complete-electronic style and design, ProUST univerSAS increases operate good quality and optimizes the ability and electrical power density of satellite ability testing. This illustrates Atos’ determination in the direction of an electrical power-mindful future and paves the way for future environmental-friendly developments. The solution was made by Atos in Austria with Austrian national co-funding by using the European Space Company (ESA).
