Hellenic Space Dawn Mission Adopts Telespazio’s EASE-Rise Mission Control Solution

02 July 2024

EMTECH SPACE - prime contractor of the Hellenic Space Dawn (HSD) mission of the Greek Cubesat In-orbit Validation Programme - has selected Telespazio Germany’s platform for constellation management, EASE-Rise, as their Ground Mission Control Solution. 

Using its cloud-native platform, Telespazio will deliver monitoring, control, planning, and integration services with its innovative software-as-a-service approach for the entire constellation's lifespan. Additionally, Telespazio will offer engineering support, encompassing software and operational assistance, during the project's operational phase.

The Hellenic Space Dawn Mission aims to validate Greek space technologies in orbit and on the ground, enhancing the country's space capabilities and fostering international collaborations with organisations like ESA. The mission involves a two-satellite constellation and a comprehensive ground segment, consisting of optical and RF (S/X-band) ground stations, a mission control system at EMTECH premises, and a Payload Data Ground Segment utilising secure cloud technologies. 

The mission promotes secure high-speed optical communication between satellite and ground, as well as secure inter-satellite RF communication. Furthermore, it enables various Earth Observation applications, such as ship detection, coastal flood monitoring, and agriculture. Key features include near real-time response, high image resolution, and on-board image processing.

Nikolaos-Antonios Livanos, Founder and Managing Director of EMTECH SPACE S.A., expressed, "We are pleased to extend our collaboration with Telespazio, especially in this critical project for EMTECH. The selection of EASE-Rise was driven by our aim to reduce risk by utilising a proven product supported by the esteemed company Telespazio, thereby further strengthening our relationship with both organisations."
