Targets
The aim of the project is the technological development of a new satellite Ground Segment infrastructure, which integrates and uses the existing infrastructures, enhancing them through the new layers proposed in the project, intercepting the evolution of the connectivity offer capacity, which with the next 5G deployment and the spread of IoT (Internet of Things) will require the ability to manage networks with different technologies (hybrid networks) through the physical extension of infrastructures with the development of a global network ready to be available for future constellations of microsatellites.
Expected result
In the first phase of the project the architecture of the system was outlined, the detailed definition of the requirements of the NCC of the U-DRagon, the test plan to be performed. Then we will move on to the realization of the system and to a series of acceptance tests of the functionality and requirements of the entire system. The evaluation parameters will consist of a preliminary design compatibility matrix with the system requirements. The mission entrusted to the Energetic Communities to study, design and build a new Network Control Center structure allows to revisit its structure and components, introducing new concepts that, previously, had not been taken into consideration. Today, thanks to the availability of new ICT technologies and the paradigm change of small satellite missions, it is possible to realize new processes. In particular, the idea of Virtualization of the NCC allows us to revisit the business models that have dominated the satellite market for small missions until now. The improvement conveyed by virtualization also lies in the possibility of improving service availability times even by an order of magnitude compared to what is offered today.
