The European Ground Systems-Common Core (EGS-CC) is a European initiative to develop a common infrastructure to support space systems monitoring and control in pre-and post-launch phases for all mission types. In addition to the modernisation of legacy systems, this is expected to bring significant benefits in the whole process of developing, deploying and using monitoring and control systems, such as the seamless transition from spacecraft Assembly, Integration and Testing (AIT) to mission operations, cost and risk reductions, promotion of crossfertilisation across organizations. The initiative is being performed as a collaboration between ESA, European National Agencies and European Industry. In this paper we describe the main highlights of the initiative along with the current status and future planning of the EGS-CC programme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
