Lessons learned from 10 years building ground MC Systems

摘要

SCISYS has a long history in building ground M&C as well as ground data systems. Within the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) ground segment, first M&C solutions have been implemented (DADF). The underlying concepts evolved and later M&C and data distribution systems within the ISS Columbus ground segment (IMS, MVDS-EM and DaSS) were the first step towards a generic M&C framework approach. A further major concept evolution and the integration of advanced functionality were then the enablers for the implementation of three major M&C facilities in the Galileo ground mission and control segments (GACF, GMNF and CMCF). The main design drivers and challenges for the M&C systems are presented in this paper and the history and lessons learned are outlined after having built M&C facilities in more than ten years. Recommendations are given to support the design, to ease the process during system implementation and finally to increase the usability of the M&C facility. An outlook and ideas on future M&C systems are derived.
