RHEA's participation at SpaceOps 2012

RHEA System S.A. is pleased to announce its participation at SpaceOps 2012. The event will be held on the 11-15th of June 2012 in Stockholm, Sweden.

SpaceOps is a technical forum of the space operations community and its objective is to gather worldwide experts to discuss all aspects of space mission operations, robotics, human spaceflight, earth observations and deep space operations.

RHEA will host a booth at SpaceOps where delegates will learn more about RHEA’s space engineering services, system and software solutions. RHEA engineers and scientists will be presenting on various topics in the context of missions operations for the European Space Agency (ESA) Space Situational Awareness programme and XMM, Venus Express and BepiColombo missions. The topics that will be presented at SpaceOps 2012 are the following:

  • Space Weather risks for space operations and how these risks will be addressed by the ESA SSA Programme
  • Mission Operations Preparation Environment: A new approach for the future
  • European Technology Harmonisation on Ground Software Systems: Reference Architecture and ICDs
  • XMM-Newton’s operational challenge of changing the attitude control to 4 active reaction wheels, after 12 years of routine operations
  • European Technology Harmonisation on Ground Software Systems: Reference Architecture and ICDs
  • OBCPs – an integrated part of the BepiColombo Autonomy and Flexibility
  • MOIS and the Flying Laptop
  • Venus Express Automation

At RHEA’s booth delegates will have the opportunity to learn more about RHEA’s engineering services and MOIS software solutions. MOIS is an integrated set of tools for spacecraft mission preparation and execution. MOIS addresses the real issues essential to achieving successful mission operations and processes automation. MOIS is used by ESA for most of its space missions and to date, MOIS has been selected and used for the mission operations and/or AIT for more than 60 spacecraft.

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to contribute to this year’s conference, as SpaceOps remains a major event related to our core business,” said Noel Parmentier, Chief Strategy Officer of RHEA System S.A. “SpaceOps 2012 offers an opportunity to present and share ideas about mission operations with other experts from the space community.”
