We thrive under pressure

Starion’s mission operations experts are experienced team players who thrive under pressure.

They can:

  • Provide operations engineering and support
  • Plan and oversee operations activities
  • Assess and report on the spacecraft’s health
  • Support the development and maintenance of the ground segment
  • Handle spacecraft anomalies, devising fixes and workarounds to keep the spacecraft and its payload operating.

ASTRAL – Starion’s ground segment solution

ASTRAL reduces ground segment and operations costs through end-to-end automation – everything from preparation to operations can be achieved with the same toolset. Suitable for small satellites through to large constellations, its integrated environment includes:

  • Mission control and automation
  • Mission planning
  • Operations preparation
  • Data processing and dissemination
  • Data archiving.

MOIS – Tool suite for full procedure lifecycle

Our MOIS (Manufacturing and Operations Information System) tool suite is used by spacecraft manufacturers and operators worldwide to optimise the processes of spacecraft validation, mission operations preparation and mission operations.

  • Used for over 120 missions including Rosetta, Galileo and the European Data Relay System (EDRS)
  • Continually developed for over 20 years
  • Easy to learn and intuitive to use; doesn’t require programming skills
  • Captures, manages and maintains test and operations knowledge
  • Supports a range of procedure execution environments.
