Satellite Operations

The extensive experience of ASTRA’s teams in satellite on-station operations is widely regarded within the industry. The large diversity of satellite platforms operated by ASTRA gives our engineers an acute understanding of multiple satellite operations systems, allowing them to rapidly accommodate any new satellite that would be added to the fleet managed from our satellite control facilities in Betzdorf.

Looking behind standard recommended operations procedures, our satellite engineers have developed methodologies and software tools to secure the operations and increase the performance of all spacecraft platforms and subsystems, be it for attitude control, power and thermal subsystems management, TT&C, propulsion, payload management or flight dynamics.

Today, our range of expertise, coupled with the emphasis that we devote to planning, managing and optimizing payload traffic, has allowed the ASTRA Satellite System to achieve unrivalled services reliability figures.

Thanks to the flexibility of our TT&C facilities and satellite control premises, TechCom offers end-to-end integrated satellite operations services to any satellite operator seeking to outsource those activities to trustworthy professionals. We easily integrate any new satellite into our fleet operational scheme, and can assume full ownership of its on-station operations, including platform and payload management, as well as orbital control. Your satellite then directly benefits from all the expertise, facilities and procedures already in place for the ASTRA satellite fleet.
