SCISYS Wins Operations Contract For Geostationary Weather Satellite

Mon, 14th Apr 2014 06:42

LONDON (Alliance News) - SCISYS PLC said Monday it has won an operations contract with GMV Aerospace and Defence for the Mission Operations Facility of a new geostationary weather satellite.

The supplier of bespoke software, IT and support systems to the media, broadcast, space, government and defence sectors, said the contract with GMV Aerospace and Defence will see it deliver the Mission Operations Facility for EUMETSAT's upcoming geostationary weather satellite, Meteosat Third Generation.

Under the terms of the deal, SCISYS will be responsible for the integrated Mission Planning and Automation system together with associated Operations Preparation and Archiving functions.

The company said the expected value of the contract is around EUR1.8 million over the next six years, commencing in the current reporting period.

SCISYS will use two applications to provide a highly integrated operations workflow from mission planning to spacecraft control, it said, with the system designed to provide cohesive management of operations delegated to the spacecraft's on-board schedule.

SCISYS has worked for EUMETSAT on the previous generations of European geostationary weather satellites, with the latest contract continues its working relationship that now spans over 20 years.

"We have been working hard to get into the METEOSAT III meteorological ground segment business with EUMETSAT. This contract ensures SCISYS have a foothold in MTG ground segment and in core EUMETSAT business for many years. It continues the close cooperation between our companies over a number of years, based on a mutual, sound, technical approach," said Dr. Horst Wulf, Divisional Director Space of SCISYS.

Shares in SCISYS last traded at 92.5 pence per share.
