Main projects involved

MCM4: The MCM4 software is a monitoring and control gateway between the electronic equipments and the M&C manager (the STC2).
GSMCS: This system is Eutelsat M&C manager. It monitors and controls 5 ground stations (over 35 antennas and 16 geostationary satellites). Controllers can quickly check the overall state of the stations or just a detailed view of a station/antenna.
AST: This is mainly an algorithmic tool. It is used to refine location points on satellite pictures. The algorithm is made of a matrix solving with Cholesky in co-ordination with least square (so the calculus is iterative). Equation settings are done entirely with the GUI.
VIGRI: It’s a graphical tool allowing users to manage data grids (representing deformation of points in a satellite picture): grids display, distance and angle measurement, etc.
