Abstract
The COSMO-SkyMed is a low-orbit, dual-use, earth observation satellite system operating in the X-band funded by the Italian Ministry of Research (MIUR) and Ministry of Defense and managed by the Italian Space Agency (ASI). SkyMed will make use of the most advanced remote sensing technology in the construction of four SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellites and in the realization of a complex and geographically distributed Ground Segment infrastructure manufactured by Italian industries. In the context of the Agreement between ASI and CONAE (National Commission of Spatial activities) two Argentine missions are in progress SAOCOM-1-A & 1-B, two SAR L-band satellites. This set of six SAR satellites comprised the SIASGE (Italian-Argentine System for Emergency Management). The COSMO-SkyMed ground segment includes: A constellation management infrastructure (Mission Control Centres and Satellite Control Centres), a decentralized ground-based user facilities for direct data collection from the satellites and a Centralized archiving facility. Falda del Carmen CONAE Ground Station (CGS) in Cordoba city, Argentina was upgraded in order to fulfill Cosmo-SkyMed RAM (Reliability, Availability & Maintainability) requirements. In this paper a complete RAM analysis for all the services provided by CGS (CGSS) was performed, providing the RAM figures that demonstrate that, with the design concept and the architecture proposed, system requirements were achieved.
