GMV Improves the capabilities of the Spanish Space Surveillance and Tracking Operations Centre (S3TOC)
GMV is excited to announce significant enhancements to the S3TOC as part of the Spanish SST project, funded by AEE (Agencia Espacial EspaƱola) and managed by ESA (the European Space Agency) through a Third Party Agreement. These updates are designed to improve computing capabilities and performance, as well as to expand and adapt the data processing center (DPC) and the analysts' room for the future.
The latest enhancements include:
- Additional computing capacity: the number and technology of servers has been improved, the speed and structure of the communications network has been enhanced, and a more robust system has been implemented.
- Advanced security features: the S3TOC has implemented state-of-the-art security measures to protect user data and ensure privacy.
- Enhanced DPC and analysts' room: the DPC has been upgraded with state-of-the-art technology to significantly increase its computing capabilities, including new cooling systems and security features. The S3TOC facilities can now accommodate up to 14 analysts, with a wide screen ready to be used to make our space a safer place.
With the new enhancements, the S3TOC is ready for a new era in space, with increasing uncontrolled space assets and mega-constellations crowding the skies.
Additionally, GMV is leading a group (including partners HISDESAT and ImmediaIT) that is currently analyzing the future needs and capabilities of the next generation S3TOC, the upcoming V3.
