Designed for advanced nano-satellite constellations in LEO and deep space exploration missions the readily available Sirius OBC with LEON3FT delivers ‘always-on’ reliable operations that work every time on time with precision performance. With enhanced error detection and correction, the Sirius OBC is tolerant to Single-Event-Effects (SEE) in logic and data storage. Fault tolerance is secured through TMR (Triple-Modular Redundancy) on all FPGA flip-flops and through boot flash and EDAC (error detection and correction) on memories. The development kit is powered through a mains 12V adaptor, eliminating the need for specialised power supplies or other laboratory equipment.

Sirius spacecraft avionics are modular in design. Modules can be combined to offer redundant configurations, or to simply accommodate mission specific requirements. The Sirius TCM LEON3FT has a standard single string system that consists of an on-board computer (Sirius OBC) and a combined mass memory with CCSDS stack (Sirius TCM). The OBC runs mission specific software and manage the spacecraft system. The TCM receives and stores payload data and platform housekeeping data while at the same time distributing telecommands and serving mass memory data to the transceiver.

Flight proven across multiple mission applications for a range of customer requirements, this readily available solution has a reputation for reliability and performance for advanced small and nano-satellite missions. The Sirius TCM LEON3FT has inherited advanced error detection and correction in it’s design. The real-time operating system runs on a LEON3FT fault-tolerant soft processor, compliant to IEEE 1754 SPARC v8, and fault tolerance is secured by using triple-modular redundancy on FPGA and memory scrubbing.

Universal Space Network Inc (USN) is an American company specializing in tracking, telemetry, and control of spacecraft.

It is a subsidiary of Swedish Space Corporation (SSC), with four main sites and cooperative agreements with many others. USN has been used by commercial satellite operations such as Sirius XM Radio and scientific missions both in low earth orbit (such as GALEX) and in orbit around the moon (such as Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and GRAIL). 

Braxton Technologies offers a wide variety of products and professional services for government and commercial applications in the fields of:

• Command & Control
• Telemetry
• Planning & Scheduling
• Simulation

The Global Positioning System (GPS) Program's launch, early-orbit, operations, and disposal command and control functions are currently performed by Braxton's ACE Premier™ product suite.

The ACE Premier™ architectural framework provides an infrastructure of configurable applications, tools and simulators that reduce cost and accelerate deployment of command and control systems. 

Haigh-Farr provides the space industry with antennas for launch telemetry, tracking and flight termination, as well as operational communications with research, defense and communication spacecraft.

Haigh-Farr was established in 1969 as a consulting, research, development and manufacturing company, with expertise in the area of antennas and RF propagation for aerospace vehicles. Haigh-Farr pioneered the Wraparound™ antenna concept whose versatility and compactness have enhanced performance capabilities of aircraft, missiles and spacecraft worldwide.

EPOCH IPS is a COTS software product (Commercially available Off-The-Shelf) intially developed by the company Integral System Inc., which is now Kratos ISI Inc. (after the merger with Kratos in 2011).

EPOCH is a product solution for satellite command and control. It is able to control an array of satellites with minimal personnel. A combination of EPOCH IPS’s open architecture, graphical user interface and automated monitoring and control features allows users to monitor and control both satellite and ground systems. EPOCH IPS’s architecture consists of several servers and user workstations all connected through an Ethernet local access network (LAN). EPOCH Integrated Product Suite contains EPOCH T&C Serverand EPOCH Client, which are Integral Systems' real-time satellite data processing and control software products. EPOCH Integrated Product Suite provides satellite command and control capabilities, including telemetry processing and display, commanding and command verification, ground-station control, alarm or event processing and data archiving. These functions are driven by the EPOCH Database product, allowing the system to support multiple satellites through database updates without modifying the run-time software.
