On-Board Software (OBSW)
Alén Space
Alén On-Board Software (OBSW) is the result of several years of development and the accumulated experience of the team during operation of four satellites. The OBSW is based on the ESA Packet Utilization Standard (PUS). This allows to standardize the data interfaces of the satellites avoiding provider-dependent interfaces and allowing the deployment of different platforms/architectures reusing the same ground segment software. All of the provided services allow to design operations adjusted to client-specific scenarios without additional software development.
