EOS-FES

The EOS-FES Front End Server (FES) provides all the automation and management tools needed to control a ground station antenna that is capable of scheduling tracking, montoring realtime status, and ingesting and demodulating multiple EOS DB satellites efficienctly.  A complete software/hardware package, the FES allows users to quickly get their antenna system up and running.  Every step in the data capture process is user-friendly, automated and reliable – the data and control you need, 24/7 from anywhere in the world.  The EOS-FES even keeps your satellite ephemeris (TLEs) up to date!

Key Capabilities

At A Glance Status
View comprehensive real-time system operation status and performance data at a glance.

 

 

Streamlined Scheduling
Intelligent automatic acquisition scheduler allows users to automate data acquisitions based on any data quality or coverage priority. Easily schedule antenna feed, receivers, downconverters and tracking for each pass and obtain/update antenna ephemeris for all tracked satellites daily.

 

 

Central Login
Central logging of operations and errors for all system hardware and software components.

 

 

Easy Configuration Changes
Dynamic configuration system allows easy addition and modification of hardware and software set-ups for individual satellites, including parameters for RF equipment, data ingest, post processing and external data services.

 

 

Simplified System Operation
Powerful command line tools and a customized command interface make manual system operation, performance evaluation, and error diagnosis intuitive, simple and quick. Web-enabled remote service protocols and open architecture of all software system components allow for quick and easy development of custom software for any task related to system control or automation.
