Unified Processing for Diverse Spacecraft Datalinks

Because spacecraft use varied datalink protocols that require precise formatting and timing, operators need a front-end processor to translate and prepare these datalinks for C2 systems and payload processors, crypto, modems, commercial antenna providers, USG Ground Entry Points and SCN.

OpenSpace quantumFEP is a dynamically configurable software front-end processor that handles narrowband or wideband datalink protocol processing to communicate TT&C or mission data/payload with the spacecraft, without the need for special customizations in TT&C missions.
