The “Operations Center” project (CDO), within the framework of the “Guyanese New Generation Space Center” program, will centralize all the computer and operational systems of the Launch Base (BLA) in one building.
The CDO includes a digital CDO-PF infrastructure that brings together hardware/software resources to integrate the new CDO-BLA operating center.
The CDO-BLA allows you to control the location of the launcher in real time and to process telemetry.
Main expected earnings:
— availability and flexibility of the launch base;
— preparation of future missions of the base (microlaunchers, recoverable launchers);
— lower operating and maintenance costs.
The I-CDO system “Operations Centre Informatics”, the subject of this notice, is the major component of the CDO-BLA. It brings together the IT infrastructure of CDO-PF and CDO-BLA, internal and external networks and operational software needed to launch.
Preliminary list of benefits I-CDO:
— C1 design, project management
—— project management and project management, with the possibility of an agile development mode for certain components;
—— system engineering enabling the MOI to own, consolidate and detail the architecture principles proposed by CNES, manage interfaces, ensure consistency of subsystems and take responsibility for maintaining the overall performance of I-CDO;
—— integration in Europe of I-CDO components, including products used or delivered by CNES (Simulator and Mission Analysis Component) with MOI implementation of an integration platform in the Toulouse region, allowing continuous integration and incremental revenue;
—— systems and non-regression tests to be automated;
—— integration in Guyana into the new CDO building in interfaces with existing networks and systems;
—— compliance with operational safety requirements and demonstration of achievement of reliability and availability objectives;
—— compliance with SSI requirements (technical, operational and maintenance), provision of elements for obtaining SSI approvals;
—— technical qualification of the entire I-CDO in Guyana in the CDO;
—— training of operations and maintenance personnel, on the integration platform and on site;
— C2 IT infrastructure (CDO-PF and IE_PF)
—— study, supply and integration of a hardware infrastructure (arrays, servers, internal network equipment, workstations and network protection equipment) in the Toulouse region for continuous integration and in Guyana to the CSG;
—— supply factory configuration and site;
—— development of a set of common services: virtualization, automation and administration services
— C3 networks: study, development and supply of operational network equipment external to the CDO
—— location network connecting Galliot trajectographic radars and telemetry antennas to the CDO (excluding building wiring);
—— network for telemetry downstream stations;
—— administration network and set of network protection equipment;
— C4 software base: study, development and provision for the CDO-BLA of services for common operational needs for several applications
—— management and automation of CDO-BLA configurations, activities and processes;
—— management of multiple environments to conduct parallel activities (testing, training, launch timeline);
—— management of a single repository of data and software versions;
C5 system measures: development according to the design principles defined by the MOI (C1) and provision of processing software for launch operations in favor of backup flight and launch operator;
—— preparation and qualification of operational configurations;
—— real-time processing of telemetry and location data (launcher tracking);
—— real-time visualization of the various operational stations of the CDO-BLA;
— C6 remote management
—— migration and adaptation of the remote management system of telemetry stations;
—— generalization to other sensors, will be optional (kinetelescope, radars, etc.);
— C7 time service: study, development and provision of a time service
—— Universal time management, H0 and time counting for CDO;
—— spreading time counting over the entire base and remote sites;
—— interface with Jupiter control center to manage time count.
The time-in-process specification service could be integrated into C2 or C4 at the time of the tender;
— C8 equipment of operational and technical rooms
—— provision of a video display system connected to the CSG video system and a video wall;
—— Provision of operational desks for the integration of C2 workstations into each operating room, seven operational rooms (five BLA rooms, two light launch centres) and one administration room.
