Astrium and GeoNorth sign first ever multi-satellite Direct Receiving Station

Anchorage AK (SPX) Dec 18, 2013

This is the ninth DRS contract Astrium Services has signed in 2013. These agreements establish either new DRS or upgrade existing DRS for compatibility with new satellites (SPOT 6, SPOT 7, TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X).

Astrium has signed with GeoNorth for the first multi-mission Direct Receiving Station (DRS), with a unique offering of both high-resolution and very high-resolution optical and radar satellite imagery capabilities. This new contract brings to nearly 40 the number of stations in the Astrium Services DRS network - the largest worldwide.
The agreement will give GeoNorth the unparalleled capability of priority tasking the Astrium Services satellite constellations to capture imagery anywhere on the globe and downlink data to its processing terminal located at the Alaska satellite facility in Fairbanks. It provides for a multi-satellite DRS that will draw on the SPOT (5 and 6), Pleiades (1A and 1B), TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X satellites - with resolutions across optical and radar products ranging from 0.25m to 40m.
"GeoNorth is thrilled to be able to make such a significant announcement at this time in our company's history," said Brian Minster, GeoNorth's co-founder and General Manager.

Airbus Defence and Space wins ground segment contract for French Spysat

Space Systems of Airbus Defence and Space has been selected by the French armament procurement agency DGA to build the user ground segment (UGS) of the MUSIS (MUltinational Space-based Imaging System for surveillance, reconnaissance and observation) observation satellite programme. This new deal includes providing through-life support for the user ground segment for 12 years.
In 2010, Astrium signed the contract with the French Space Agency CNES to manufacture the satellites. The MUSIS programme satellites are set to progressively take over from the Helios programme satellites.
This ground segment will allow programming commands to be sent to the MUSIS satellites and to receive, generate, distribute and store the images they acquire. The UGS will also enable the French armed forces to access all the existing and future satellite observation sensors.
The ground segment is set to become operational by 2017 - the year in which the first satellite of the MUSIS programme will be launched.
