TELETEL was selected by Airbus Defence & Space France for the design, development and delivery of two Instrument EGSE (I-EGSE), for the Land Surface Temperature Monitoring (LSTM) mission of the European Space Agency (ESA). The LSTM mission objective is to complement the existing family of Copernicus satellites observation capabilities with high spatio-temporal resolution Thermal Infrared observations over land and coastal regions in support of agriculture management services, and a range of additional services.
The LSTM I-EGSE will be used to verify and integrate the LSTM instrument during the AIT phases of the project. This encompasses the verification of initial Bread-Board models in isolation, up to the complete instrument composed of flight model equipment. It will provide the physical interfaces to the instrument & GSE and a software environment for command, monitoring, database management, test evaluation and automation, test archive and data retrieval capabilities.
The two LSTM I-EGSE sets will be delivered to Airbus Defence & Space (Toulouse) in November 2022 and September 2023 respectively.
