Abstract
HISPASAT Group is operating now four Satellites:1C, 1D, and SPAINSAT (to cover the demand of governmental services for the Spanish Ministry of Defense) in 30o West and Amazonas-1 in 61o West. In preparation to cover the emerging demand in 61o West, HISPASAT has under construction Amazonas-2 satellite, to be placed in 61o West along year 2009. Additional satellites are under study for both orbital positions in the plan to increase the available on orbit capacity. HISPASAT manages the Satellite Control Operations for Telemetry and Telecommand functions by using platform specific Satellite Control Centers (SCC), therefore having at the present stage three different SCC platfomrs. This approach is being revisited and HISPASAT’s philosophy is now oriented towards a more flexible and easy to operate concept that implies to integrate the satellite operations using a common control platform. That continues the trend already initiated with the Flight Dynamics with GMV’s focusGEO and will be complemented in the Satellite Control Center area with GMV’s hifly®.
