Viasat and Safran Data Systems have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to innovate with Viasat’s InRange rocket telemetry system and accelerate its use by launch providers and spaceports.
January 15, 2024
Viasat and Safran Data Systems, Inc. join forces to make the system commercially available and accelerate its adoption for launch providers and spaceports. InRange utilizes Viasat’s global L-band satellite fleet to provide real-time telemetry data for launch missions, eliminating ‘blackout zones.
To eliminate the loss of real-time telemetry that occurs when vehicles are beyond the line of sight of ground stations, the intent is to use Viasat’s global L-band satellite fleet during the launch of the space vehicle. Thus, the real-time telemetry is sent directly to the satellite infrastructure without the need for ground communications infrastucture.
With this solution, the flight data is provided throughout all phases of the flight.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), Safran Data Systems will provide its telemetry antennas, onboard transmitters, and Cortex modems to support the InRange system for commercial launch systems virtually anywhere in the world.
Last November 2023, Safran Data Systems’ teams held a demonstration at our Norcross facility (Georgia) successfully transmitting a telemetry link to multiple locations around the globe (Hawaii, Cape Canaveral, New York England) using a Viasat satellite.
