As a spin-off of the European Space Operations Centre’s (ESOC) innovation cup, Solenix developed a technical requirements analysis tool for the European Space Agency (ESA). This tool, the Technical Requirements Ambiguity Checker (TRAC), analyses requirements documents for the use of ambiguous wording according to pre-defined keywords. The quality of technical requirements is defined by their clarity and completeness.

In spring 2020, Solenix concluded a project for the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) of the European Space Agency (ESA). In this activity, our Software Engineering Division expanded WebMUST, a Web-based client to explore and display spacecraft housekeeping telemetry, with a new module to demonstrate the use of vectors derived from the stored data. This module includes the following features:

Solenix, in partnership with VisionSpace Technologies, has been awarded a study by the European Space Agency to look for new approaches for satellite mission operations that defy traditional concepts. The consortium led by VisionSpace will be investigating how the latest concepts and advances in areas such as automation, data analysis, autonomy and others can support the design of an approach for offline mission operations.

Solenix together with its consortium partners DH Consultancy and SPARC have been awarded a new contract to design and develop a new tool to support spacecraft operators in the monitoring, forecasting, and reporting of the space weather environment and its influences on spacecraft operations. The development forms part of ESA’s Space Safety Programme which is continuing the work of the Space Situational Awareness Programme to develop a European network of Space Weather services targeting end user needs.
