Atos supports OneWeb in successful launch of 34 new satellites

Atos’ testing options instrumental in chopping-edge venture

Paris, February seventeen, 2020

Atos, a international chief in digital transformation, announces that it has supported OneWeb and its mega-constellation application in the successful start of 34 satellites which was conducted on February 6 from Baikonur, Kazakhstan. Atos contributed to this achievements by delivering to OneWeb Satellites the testing machines with revolutionary technologies that have substantially decreased the environmental footprint of the method – and obtained an award from OneWeb Satellites for the Payload Take a look at Units (PTS) and Tele Command Ranging (TCR) options.

This important ‘OneWeb mega-constellation’ venture, led by OneWeb Satellites[1]  and supported by Atos, entails sending into orbit, about a period of time of time, much more than 650 satellites which will offer economical substantial-velocity Web entry throughout the world. The to start with 6 satellites were being introduced in February 2019.

“We are happy to aid this sort of an ambitious application with our testing options we make certain all OneWeb Satellites are rigorously analyzed in the most effective and productive way. Collectively with OneWeb Satellites, we make the mass-creation of satellites true.” mentioned Bruno Milard, VP, Head of Company Device Aerospace & Defense Electronics at Atos. “Atos is delighted to assistance determine the primary edge of satellite production technologies.”

Thanks to its state-of-the-art options, Atos was named “Best Floor Aid Machines (GSE) supplier” by OneWeb Satellites in recognition of its specialized and industrial capabilities and the good quality of its options and shopper aid. The award was offered at the OneWeb Satellites World-wide Partnership Summit 2020.

Atos’ ProUST univerSAS suite is composed of Power and RF specific test-out machines (SCOE) for electrical floor aid machines (EGSE) which permits satellites to be analyzed prior to start – to prevent or deal with any problems and make guaranteed prerequisites are met, hence lowering the strategic and financial affect of faulty elements.

Dependent on a breakthrough total-digital design and style, ProUST univerSAS improves work good quality and optimizes the ability and electrical power density of satellite ability testing. This illustrates Atos’ motivation in the direction of an electrical power-aware long run and paves the way for long run environmental-pleasant developments. The answer was made by Atos in Austria with Austrian countrywide co-funding through the European Space Company (ESA).
