Integral Systems To Provide Satellite Control Software For Optus
Lanham MD (SPX) Sep 24, 2004 Integral Systems Thursday announced that SingTel Optus ("Optus") has awarded Integral Systems a contract to expand the Optus C1 satellite control system to include support of the Optus D1 and D2 satellites. Under this contract, Integral will provide the primary and backup control center software that will be used to operate the Optus D1 and D2 satellites. These satellites are currently under construction by Orbital Sciences Corp. and are based on their STAR 2 BUS platform. Optus previously procured EPOCH Integrated Product Suite (IPS) from Integral for its Optus C1 satellite, a Loral FS1300 satellite. Based on this experience and the cost advantage offered to Integral's recurring customers, Optus elected to specify EPOCH in their Request-For-Proposal (RFP) that was sent to potential satellite manufacturers for the D-Series satellites and to award a sole source satellite control software contract to Integral. The EPOCH IPS software will provide real-time spacecraft and ground system command and control, long term archiving and trending functions for the Optus D1 and D2 satellites. "We are extremely pleased that a highly respected operator like Optus has once again chosen EPOCH IPS to support their new D series satellites," said Stuart Daughtridge, Vice President of the Commercial Division at Integral Systems. "Optus' decision to not only include EPOCH in their satellite RFP but also award us this contract sole source shows their confidence in both the capabilities offered by our EPOCH software and in Integral's ability to cost effectively support Optus as they add new satellites to their operation."
