Telespazio Germany GmbH, a subsidiary of Telespazio – a joint venture between Leonardo and Thales –, one of the leading providers of aerospace engineering, software solutions and services and a member of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network (APN), has announced support for AWS Ground Station within Telespazio’s cloud-based service platform for space operations ENABLE.
Andrés Martínez, Sales Director Commercial Space, Telespazio, said, “We are witnessing a convergence of space and cloud as businesses and space agencies generate more data, from more sources than ever before. This is a significant undertaking and cost driver because customers often require antennas in multiple countries to download data when and where they need it without waiting for the satellite to pass over a desired location. The combination of AWS and Telespazio’s ENABLE service platform helps space start-ups to minimize capital expenditures and re-target those funds to developing applications that will support many vital, exciting new missions in space.”
“Traditionally, organizations entering the satellite industry would have to make heavy upfront capital investments in infrastructure to support missions. The lag time between data acquisition and analysis made it difficult to accurately analyze the data in a timely manner. Now with AWS and Telespazio, customers can access a comprehensive, global mission operation service to deliver data more quickly, and rapidly customize a solution that meets their needs more efficiently and cost effectively than previously possible,” said Alessandro Baronio, ENABLE Product Manager, Telespazio.
Digantara and NuSpace will be among first customers to use AWS on Telespazio’s ENABLE platform.
“The individual combination of Telespazio and AWS Ground Station has untangled many knots in constellation management and data management by bringing planning and execution of satellite operations as well as data handling in both ways under a single roof.”, said Anirudh Sharma, CEO of Digantara.
“With Telespazio’s rich experience in the space industry and their introduction of the ENABLE service platform, it will allow us to effectively manage our planned constellation of satellites and be able to scale competitively”, said Zhen Ning, CEO of NuSpace.
