Atos supports OneWeb in successful launch of 34 new satellites

Atos’ screening solutions instrumental in reducing-edge challenge

Paris, February 17, 2020

Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, announces that it has supported OneWeb and its mega-constellation program in the productive launch of 34 satellites which was done on February 6 from Baikonur, Kazakhstan. Atos contributed to this achievement by offering to OneWeb Satellites the screening gear with groundbreaking technologies that have substantially decreased the environmental footprint of the course of action – and been given an award from OneWeb Satellites for the Payload Check Techniques (PTS) and Tele Command Ranging (TCR) solutions.

This vital ‘OneWeb mega-constellation’ challenge, led by OneWeb Satellites[one]  and supported by Atos, will involve sending into orbit, about a period of time, extra than 650 satellites which will present very affordable substantial-velocity Internet entry throughout the globe. The very first 6 satellites were being introduced in February 2019.

“We are happy to assistance such an ambitious program with our screening solutions we make sure all OneWeb Satellites are rigorously analyzed in the most effective and successful way. Collectively with OneWeb Satellites, we make the mass-creation of satellites true.” mentioned Bruno Milard, VP, Head of Enterprise Device Aerospace & Defense Electronics at Atos. “Atos is delighted to assistance outline the major edge of satellite producing technology.”

Thanks to its highly developed solutions, Atos was named “Best Ground Support Products (GSE) supplier” by OneWeb Satellites in recognition of its technical and professional capabilities and the quality of its solutions and shopper assistance. The award was offered at the OneWeb Satellites Global Partnership Summit 2020.

Atos’ ProUST univerSAS suite is composed of Electricity and RF exclusive check out-out gear (SCOE) for electrical ground assistance gear (EGSE) which enables satellites to be analyzed prior to launch – to protect against or take care of any troubles and make certain needs are met, hence lowering the strategic and economic affect of defective components.

Centered on a breakthrough full-digital design and style, ProUST univerSAS improves operate quality and optimizes the electrical power and strength density of satellite electrical power screening. This illustrates Atos’ determination towards an strength-aware future and paves the way for future environmental-welcoming developments. The remedy was developed by Atos in Austria with Austrian national co-funding via the European Place Company (ESA).
