RT Logic Delivers Satellite Baseband Systems To Eads Astrium
Colorado Springs CO (SPX) Oct 28, 2004 RT Logic, a wholly owned subsidiary of Integral Systems Wednesday today announced that EADS Astrium (England) has completed the final stages of operational testing with the RT Logic provided Telemetrix satellite baseband systems. Turnover to operations occurred in September. EADS Astrium awarded RT Logic a contract valued at over $2 million to supply satellite baseband systems, S-Band modem systems, and other ground equipment for command and control of the NATO Skynet 4 and Skynet 5 satellite constellations in June 2003. RT Logic has replaced legacy Skynet 4 ground equipment and is supplying next generation Skynet 5 systems at multiple ground sites in the United Kingdom. Skynet 4 provides secure communications for the UK's armed forces. Skynet 5 is to provide secure communications services to UK and overseas customers. "The inherent programmability of the Telemetrix systems enables the front end systems to fully meet the Skynet requirements," said Jerry Meleski, RT Logic Director of Control Center Systems. "Due to the adaptability of the Telemetrix architecture and genuine engineering teamwork from EADS Astrium, the Telemetrix systems are operational on Skynet 4 and are approaching completion for Skynet 5." "EADS Astrium is pleased with progress made so far and to have a company of RT Logic's experience in this area supporting this vital element of the EADS Astrium Skynet 5 Programme," said Keith Rowe, Space Phase Manager, Skynet 5 MCS, EADS Astrium. The CORBA-based Telemetrix 505 (T505) systems for Skynet 4 are fully integrated to legacy systems over a TCP/IP API and perform telecommand/echo formatting, telemetry bit and frame synchronization, crypto monitor and control, and discrete signal processing. The T505 chassis is fully CE compliant per internationally approved labs/agencies. The T505 systems for Skynet 5 support ESA standard CCSDS Telecommand/COP-1 and telemetry protocols. The dual band Telemetrix 70/70XL modem performs satellite telecommand modulation/telemetry demodulation functions for both Skynet 4 and Skynet 5 satellites.
