OHB SE operates as a space and technology company in Germany, rest of Europe, and internationally. The company operates through three segments, Space Systems, Aerospace, and Digital segments. It produces and distributes products and projects, as well as provides technology services primarily in the areas of space and aeronautic technology, telematics, and satellite services. The Space Systems segment focuses on developing and executing space projects. This segment primarily develops and manufactures low-orbiting and geostationary small satellites for navigation, research, communications, and earth and weather observation and reconnaissance, including scientific payloads; undertakes projects for the assembly and outfitting of the International Space Station; and prepares studies and models for exploring solar system, such as the moon, asteroids, and Mars. The Aerospace segment is involved in assembling and developing aviation and space products; and other industrial activities. The Digital segment provides mechatronic systems for antennas and telescopes; various radio telescope projects; and operation of space-borne systems, digital applications based on satellite data as well as information technology and cybersecurity. The company is headquartered in Bremen, Germany.

😎 Unser OHB-Team ist startklar - und gut gelaunt, wie unser Foto unten beweist. 😎 
Mission QUBE soll hochsichere Kommunikation durch Quantenverschlüsselung ermöglichen

Die Quantenkommunikationstechnologie aus dem #All gilt als der sicherste Kommunikationsweg für die #Zukunft. Mittels des etwa Schuhkarton großen Satelliten Namens #QUBE (Foto) sollen bald neu entwickelte Module zur Erzeugung quantenverschlüsselter Daten im All getestet werden. #OHB ist dabei in beratender Rolle ein Teil eines Projektkonsortiums bestehend aus dem Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V., dem Zentrum für Telematik e.V. und der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. 
Unser OHB-Projektteam steht schon für die Nachfolgemission QUBE-II in den Startlöchern, bei der OHB die Projektkoordination übernommen hat. QUBE II wird im Vergleich zu seinem Vorgänger seine Größe mehr als verdoppeln und durch eine bessere Optik und Hardware sichere Schlüssel mit den Bodenstationen effizient erzeugen und austauschen können. 
Die Wissenschaftsmission wird durch Mittel des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) gefördert. 

Mehr dazu bald auf unserem Kanal! 🛰 🚀

🚀 MTG-S1 is one step closer to launch! 

Despite its massive size, the Meteosat Third Generation – Sounder 1 satellite travelled extensively to successfully complete rigourous testing, and is now ready for its journey to the launch site and final prep. 

The tests confirmed that the satellite can withstand the harsh conditions of launch and space, and that its communication systems are fully functional.

“The entire test process ran smoothly and we are now very confident that we can successfully go through these very sensitive few weeks after the launch of MTG-S1” say Julia Hunter-Anderson and Maria Alonso, leading the LEOP tests.

The METASAT Project is coming along in great strides! 🛰 🏃‍♂️ 

Modern #satellites require modern development processes. METASAT aims to improve the design process for future satellites by integrating #software virtualisation layers such as #hypervisors to ensure compliance with stringent standards while taking full advantage of high-performance computing platforms. This promises to streamline development processes and reduce the high costs and long lead times that are currently the reality in the satellite industry.

The tasks to be completed within the project include:

•   Setting up and customising a hypervisor that runs applications strictly separated in so-called partitions to ensure that if one application fails, the others are not affected. (FENTISS)

•   Development of hardware accelerators (GPU, vector processing) on a powerful RISC-V multi-core processor for high-performance on-board data processing and AI applications (Barcelona Supercomputing Center)

•   Establishment of model-based simulation and code generation (Collins Aerospace, IKERLAN)

OHB contributes to the project by defining one of the major use cases and setting up a suitable environment to test the results of the various work packages.

So far, we have:

✔ Obtained real housekeeping data from the EnMAP environmental satellite (developed by OHB) that will be used as productive input for a use case where nominal/off-nominal scenarios will be demonstrated. (Data provided by courtesy of Deutsche Raumfahrtagentur im DLR)

✔ Inspected the EnMAP data regarding possible AI applications in collaboration with BSC which yielded promising results for on-board failure detection, isolation and recovery (FDIR).

✔ Adapted the latest generation of our portable model-based instrument application software (used in real satellite instruments) so that a full processing chain from the simulated instrument hardware down to the ground segment software is achieved. The next step will be the integration in actual FPGA hardware.

METASAT has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe programme under grant agreement number 101082622.
