Sep 15, 2010: KSPT MEOS™ Control and MEOS™ Connect to Kongsberg Satellite Services for Antarctica
Kongsberg Spacetec has signed a contract with Kongsberg Satellite Services to deliver a MEOS™ Control and a MEOS™ Connect system to support operations of a new KSATs antenna system at Troll in Antarctica. The MEOS™ Connect system will be used in Tromsø to provide common operations of the KSAT Troll antennas.
MEOS™ Control is Kongsberg Spacetec’s product for Ground Station monitoring and control. A Ground Station often consists of a number of specialized units, e.g. demodulators, modulators, antenna control units (ACU), converters, switch matrices, etc. Instead of handling these units as stand alone units, MEOS™ Control integrates them into one overall system, with a common GUI and a common API for remote operations.
MEOS™ Connect is a basic building block for implementing efficient Monitoring & Control infrastructures in distributed Ground Station environments

Aug 20, 2010: NASA’s ALOS ground system in nominal operation
NASA’s data acquisition and processing system for ALOS entered the operational phase on April 12, 2010, and has passed four months of successful operation. NASA uses Kongsberg Spacetec HRDFEP high rate data receiver and processing systems to support this important NASA / JAXA joint effort, which benefits the global Earth science community.
ALOS data is downlinked via NASA’s TDRSS communication system for reception at the NASA WSC ground station.
The Kongsberg Spacetec HRDFEPs autonomously capture the data and generate Level 0 products in real-time. Level 0 products are automatically distributed to Japan and Alaska for further processing and archiving.
The HRDFEP system has been chosen by NASA for its high performance, robustness and real-time processing. Fully autonomous operation also reduces operational cost over a conventionally commanded system.
The Kongsberg Spacetec data acquistion system; MEOS™ Capture product line consists of high performance data acquisition and management systems for the most demanding professional users, developed to bring all the user’s data safely home, always.
This mission statement translates into the key properties of all
MEOS™ Capture products:
