Descrizione del progetto
La ricezione dei dati satellitari passa dall’hardware al software
È in aumento la richiesta di dati di osservazione della Terra per il monitoraggio ambientale, la meteorologia e altre applicazioni grazie alla loro capacità di approfondire la comprensione e migliorare la gestione del nostro pianeta e del suo ambiente. Gli attuali modem del segmento terreno non sono in grado di gestire i crescenti volumi di dati, il ritmo dell’innovazione nelle comunicazioni satellitari e le aspettative sempre più alte di ottenere maggior valore con una spesa minore. Il modem Blink, finanziato dall’UE, è volto a sostituire i componenti hardware attualmente utilizzati, costosi e difficili da mantenere. Il modem a banda larga e puramente software è una soluzione economica, scalabile e flessibile per missioni satellitari di grandi e piccole dimensioni. Rende le stazioni di terra dedicate più affidabili, più facili da usare e più convenienti. Essendo una soluzione basata su software, si adatta perfettamente al cloud, per essere utilizzata in nuovi sistemi e servizi satellitari di terra.
Obiettivo
It is widely known that key information used in many industries such as meteorology, logistics, navigation, oil and gas, agriculture, ecology and others, comes from space, via Earth observation (EO) satellites. Having this data in a short time frame is becoming essential. Existing ground segment solutions are heavily based on hardware. They are not following technology advances like space hardware do which causes a bottleneck in EO data acquisition: required volume of data is not available quickly or with sufficient value! The objective of this proposal is to provide an innovative, completely software-based data acquisition solution for EO market – Blink, disruptive enough to compete with existing oligopoly in this market segment. The EO market is very interesting as it is being boosted by skyrocketing growth of start-ups in NewSpace industry like SpaceX, OneWeb and Planet, to name a few, and increasing trend of moving from thick hardware solutions towards flexible and dynamic software solutions as well as moving satellite ground systems and services in the cloud environment. The expected project outcome is a Blink device, a software-based solution for EO ground stations which will enable assembling a full performant ground station at a fraction of time and cost that are usual at a time being. This will bring benefit not just to growing segment of start-up companies, but also to big governmental missions worldwide, including Copernicus – the EU flagship mission for Earth observation. Humanitarian missions will also benefit from Blink. Construction of a larger number of ground stations and a faster GS deployment will significantly reduce time to get satellite images of disaster-struck areas. Therefore, rescue teams will be able to act faster, and hence save thousands of lives and homes. The successful implementation of the project, which already successfully passed Phase 1, with the support of the Horizon 2020 SME Instrument will ensure the company’s fast expansion of disruptive innovation for space technology market on EU level and beyond.
