Network connectivity during all phases of launch

  • Provide network connectivity, distribution, and monitoring for telemetry, data, voice, and video assets
  • Provide a single point of contact for all spacecraft customer communications requirements
  • Interface with local communications organizations at KSC and CCSFS and offsite transport organizations to meet spacecraft customer support needs
  • Network connectivity and monitoring is provided during all phases of launch vehicle and spacecraft vehicle testing and launch operations
  • Networks are configured between launch pads, processing facilities, other NASA centers, and commercial launch monitoring facilities (both foreign and domestic)
  • Utilize the diverse routing platforms, capacities, and apply multiple data formats to ensure redundancy for critical operational support
  • Provides the infrastructure for data archival and retrieval for both real-time and post-operation tests and analysis and for local and remote data access
  • To ensure there is no critical data loss, data is replicated between both East (Hangar AE) and West (Building 836) Coast LSP Facilities
  • Networking services are supported by a capable communications team that verify and validate transport systems
Video

State-of-the-art telemetry Recording, Processing, and Display 

Recording Telemetry:

  • Multi-channel recording of PCM data streams
  • Record IRIG timestamped individual frame synced data
  • Recording of telemetry data in IRIG 106 Chapter 10 format

Processing Telemetry:

  • De-commutate real-time telemetry into individual engineering unit measurements
  • Reformat serial or IP telemetry data streams based on customer requirements
  • Ability to process multiple PCM, CCSDS, or custom telemetry streams in parallel
  • De-interleave spacecraft data or embedded data from a launch vehicle telemetry stream
  • Local RF antennas and receivers are readily available to capture test data without range coordination
  • Let LSP select the best source from multiple assets during launch

Displaying Data:

  • Display data at Launch Operations facilities using graphical software tools
  • Overlay real-time and archived data during operations
  • Build customized data display pages using familiar tools like PowerPoint
Flight Ops
flight ops
  • Provide services to procure and assess launch vehicle and spacecraft down-range data acquisition
  • Routinely use land, air, and water deployable tracking services
  • Work with other NASA centers, government agencies, and foreign space agencies (ESA, CNES, SANSA) for down range tracking services
