What Do EPOCH IPS, PUS + EGSE Have To Do With Integral Europe? Lots!
ISE (Integral Systems Europe), a subsidiary of Integral Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ-ISYS), has announced their EPOCH IPS (EPOCH Integrated Product Suite) COTS product is in compliance with ESA’s (European Space Agency) PUS (Packet-Utilization Standard) for Satellite Control Systems and EGSE (Electrical Ground Support Equipment). Integral has implemented a complete, database-driven system for PUS services, with an open architecture for mission-specific services and solutions. This new EPOCH IPS capability is specifically designed to satisfy the demanding requirements of ESA satellite programs. The IPS includes full spacecraft commanding at 64 kbps and implements European standards
for spacecraft operations. In particular, EPOCH IPS delivers a command queue and command history capability with real-time GUI (Graphical User Interface) displays. EPOCH IPS PUS features include:
