Space : We take a new perspective on space
Space technology offers solutions to many of the most pressing problems our planet faces. It
monitors the planet’s health, recording global warming, ozone depletion, deforestation, ice sheet
shrinkage, El Nino. And it plays a vital part in weather forecasting.
Space-based systems provide
communications and positioning technologies in remote areas and for people and goods on the
move – on ships and planes, in disaster areas, in deserts and on mountains and in rural areas
of the developed world without terrestrial communications.
Satellites support armed forces in
remote places, enabling command and control, delivering information services, and navigating with
pinpoint precision. They bring television to homes across the globe – and they are central to the
search for life on other planets, for new planets and for the origins of the universe.

Software Intensive
Space systems are increasingly sophisticated and rely on software-based intelligence to ensure
success. The software must work first time and be:
- Secure, despite the broadcast nature of satellite communications
- Able to cope with complex technical operations, such as satellite control, earth imaging,
complex data processing, radio propagation and orbital mechanics
- Ultra-reliable – once launched, satellites have to work un-maintained for ten years or more
- Delivered on time, eliminating the risk of costly launch delays
