As ESA’s space activities expand in scale and complexity, there is a growing demand for interoperable systems capable of managing information across multiple missions, centres, and partners. Traditional tools, often mission-specific and fragmented, limit situational visibility and collaboration. ESA’s response is Pulse, a mission-independent logic that links operational data, enhances responsiveness, and reduces fragmentation.

Pulse is not a single software product or control system. It is a strategic operational framework that use technologies such as European Ground Segment – Common Core (EGS-CC), streamlining telemetry, event management, information exchange and execution processes. Built on the collective experience of ESA teams, Pulse aims to transform how data flows are interpreted and actioned across missions.
