Kythera Space
Solutions and Thales Alenia Space Announce Early
Availability of Space Inspire Mission Segment
Software Product
March 14, 2023
Kythera Space Solutions
along with Thales Alenia Space announced the
early availability of the Ground Mission Segment
System (GMSS) for Thales Alenia Space’s
software-defined satellite (SDS) product line,
Space Inspire. Powered by the Kythera Operating
System (KOS), Thales Alenia Space’s Space
Inspire mission segment (GMSS) ushers in a new
era of dynamic, autonomous, resilient SATCOM
management, optimization, and control for Space
Inspire satellites and, more broadly, SATCOM
networks.
The initial GMSS Release,
known as DiTTO, provides Space Inspire customers
a first opportunity to explore the power of the
Space Inspire flexible payload. With the ability
to configure the payload, simulate payload
capability, and calculate payload behavior and
performance, DiTTO is being made available to
early Space Inspire customers beginning this
summer.
“This is a first step
towards enabling dynamic payload control,” said
Jean-Luc Almeida, the Thales Alenia Space
Product Line Manager for Ground & Service. “With
Kythera’s partnership, we are on track to
deliver fully capable, flexible payload
management, optimization, and control capability
for our first Space Inspire customers.”
“We’re excited to see the
GMSS move into production,” said Dr. Jeffrey
Freedman, PhD, CEO of Kythera Space Solutions.
“Thales has a clear vision for the future of
SATCOM, and we’re excited to be a part of making
it a reality.”
