To operate the system and provide all the required services, Spaceopal is managing a highly experienced

industrial team

OBERPFAFFENHOFEN

FUCINO

Spaceopal is operating the

system through 2 Centres:

Oberpfaffenhofen

Fucino

Ground and Network operations

Two Galileo Control Centres (GCCs) and the whole GDDN (Galileo Data Dissemination Network) are currently

successfully managed by Spaceopal:

The GCC-D (located in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany) as GCS (Ground Control Segment) prime and GMS

(Ground Mission Segment) as backup

The GCC-I (located in Fucino, Italy) as GMS

(Ground Mission Segment) prime and GCS

(Ground Control Segment) as backup

A worldwide network connecting both control

centres to remote stations for SCs Telemetry,

Tracking, and Control Facilities (5 TTCs),

Navigation Message Uplink Facilities (5 ULSs)

and downlink Facilities (13 GSSs, Galileo

Sensor Stations)

Ground and Network operations

To operate and maintain all these Ground Facilities, Spaceopal has developed, validated and is currently using: More than 400 Ground Operations

procedures More than 300 Maintenance procedures

In the course of operations, Spaceopal has successfully supported without any impact: more than 500 SW and HW upgrades

at “element” level 10 “full segment“ SW and HW upgrades

Spaceopal, in operating the Galileo system since 2010, has successfully performed 6 LEOPs (12 satellites)

Two more launches are expected in 2016 (6 satellites)By the end of the year Spaceopal will manage a

constellation of 18 Galileo satellites

Flight operations

Spaceopal is successfully performing all routine,

special and contingency “in orbit” operations for

the deployed Galileo fleet, in parallel with the

engineering, preparation and validation

operations for the satellites to be launched

Flight operations

Spaceopal has developed, validated and is currently applying more than 1100 “Flight Operations Procedures” and more than 100 operational databases have been updated

since beginning of operations, under Spaceopal responsibility:

more than 4,000 satellite acquisitions executed

400,000 Telemetry parameters processed

40,000 Telecommand uplinked on board

150 manoeuvers (mainly for drift stop and fine positioning) executed

about 20 “full” Spacecraft recovery from “hard contingency” (Safe Mode recovery)

about 50 “Payload re-activation” after software upgrade or major failure

A quite successful 2015!

L4 and L5 campaign execution (satellite 7,8, 9 & 10) Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP) Commissioning In-orbit test (IOT) Finally inserted by the Mission operation team in the constellation and

started to disseminate the navigation message

Start of L6 campaign (satellite 11 & 12) Conclusion of Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP)

Seamless Mission Operations hand-over from GCC-I to GCC-D and hand-back from GCC-D to GCC-I, for GMS major infrastructure upgrade

Ready for 2016 Prepared to take over another 6 satellites:

May 2016 Soyuz launch with satellite 13 and 14 Nov 2016 Ariane launch with satellite 15, 16, 17 and 18

Support major ground infrastructure improvements and activation

Performance validation of the entire system focussing on:

Galileo Open Service (OS) – Free of charge for all users, featuring excellent

positioning and timing performance

Galileo Public Regulated Service (PRS) – provides position and timing to specific

users requiring a high continuity of service, with controlled access

SAR – Search and Rescue Service

Initial service provision validation The primary scope of Spaceopal in the operations provision, as well as in

the good management of all the assets, is the generation, uplink and broadcast to final users of a good and usable navigation message

As part of the initial services validation activities, the following activities are managed by Spaceopal: Service Operations validation: OS, SAR and PRS services validation

activities regularly on going in the last 6 months running and fine-tuning (when needed) relevant procedures (e.g. SLOPs)

Service Operations Reporting- Reporting on Services is regularly performed on daily (DDB),

weekly (OSM) and monthly basis (OPCR). Service Planned/Unplanned events Management

- Management of potential service anomaly regularly performed through weekly SARB meeting and ORSI reporting.

- Management of planned outages regularly performed through MTP meetings and weekly OSM reporting

Initial service provision validation

For each service, specific procedures and test cases have been defined and tuned, taking into account the current available facilities

They are currently under validation. The on-going process, started since April 2014, is being tuned based on the expected System evolution

Spaceopal, with the support of its shareholders (DLR GfR and Telespazio), has the capabilities needed for the setup of the Initial Services, with reference to: Standardisation Certification Type approval Use of Test Beds.

Spaceopal has been providing a unique service in the last 5

years.

We are proud to have been supporting, as leader of a first class

industrial team, the European Commission and the European

Space Agency in bringing the Galileo constellation from initial

deployment up to service provision
