The PPS®5000, produced by Safran Spacecraft Propulsion, is a Hall Effect Thruster purposely designed for “all-electric” satellites. It can operate in high-thrust or high specific impulse mode,and offers an operating lifespan of about 20,000 hours. This means it can handle orbital positioning and station-keeping duties for a wide range of telecom and navigation satellites, as well as exploration spacecraft. The PPS®5000 was fully qualified in 2021.

The CORTEX RSR-RF (-40 or -200) stands as a digital recorder that plays a vital role in capturing and reproducing the RF analog signal received by the antenna before any processing occurs.

It’s an essential component in a Telemetry Station, ensuring the utmost availability of crucial data, particularly in cases where on-board recording is not feasible.

Data collected in-flight offers extensive post-processing flexibility. You can fine-tune various settings in the receiver, the bit synchronizer, and the decommutator to maximize the extraction of data, a feat achievable only with RF recording. Furthermore, it serves as an invaluable tool for test range qualification ahead of test flights.

The SPARTE 500 series, commonly mounted with a 4.4 reflector, is a top-of-the-line dual-axis antenna that spans dish sizes from 15 to 18 feet. This field-proven telemetry tracking antenna has been trusted by customers for their most mission-critical applications.

With a widespread presence on test ranges around the world, the SPARTE 500 series antennas excel in meeting the rigorous demands of various flight test scenarios, whether it’s for long-range aircraft, missiles or launch vehicles tests.

These antennas offer a streamlined design, ensuring easy operation and making them a perfect fit for any ground test range, working hand in hand with smaller range trackers.

The RTR-X4 is one of the most advanced digital telemetry receivers on the market with its well-recognized RF performance and signal processing capability.

The 4U chassis-based RTR-X4 can support up to four channels providing flexibility and capability as well as a rich set of features for different frequency bands, modulations, decoders and output formats.

Not only does the CORTEX RTR provide an extensive set of features for different frequency bands, modulations, decoders and output formats, but the user can easily upgrade the equipment in the field to access additional and new features. The RTR-X4 is an excellent fit for flight test ranges, offering full flexibility and easy access to settings through its user-friendly GUI on the embedded 8.4-inch screen.

COMTRACK stands as the preferred choice for over 100 trusted telemetry tracking operators.

Its track record spans various applications, from military aircraft and helicopters to commercial aircraft and even launch vehicles. COMTRACK steps in where larger, space-consuming parabolic systems may not be the best fit.

With its compact, rugged design, this embedded phased array auto-tracking antenna excels at providing reliable telemetry reception across L, S, or C-bands, covering the entire sky up to 93 miles away. Its intelligent integration combines high-elevation reception with long-range capabilities, all within a protective radome.

Additionally, it enables dual-band installations to support systems operating in both current and future frequency ranges. When it comes to trust, simplicity, and performance, COMTRACK takes the lead.

The highly flexible modular GMDR system is a versatile and future-proof solution for acquisition, recording, dissemination and replay of FTI data in ground station applications. 

With its high integration, incomparable range of supported video interfaces and full compatibility with global leading MDR products, the GMDR integrates seamlessly into customers‘ existing test range topologies. 

With its intelligent data reduction through segmentation, pre-selection and filtering as well as the capability to freely disseminate subsets of data among several network destinations, GMDR efficiently reduces the operator‘s workload when analyzing test results. 

For standard PCM/Ch7-Telemetry applications, two simplified, cost-efficient variants with integrated PCM/Ch7-Telemetry signal boards and one Data Express technology (DE50)- compatible storage media slot are available.

IRIS optical ground stations are built to cater to a wide range of applications (LEO/GEO/Probes), including Earth observation, high throughput bi-directional telecommunications, feeder link, or deep space missions. The IRIS systems leverage the Cortex Lasercom, a globally recognized optical modem that supports various standards such as SDA, CCSDS, and HPE.
