The PPS®X00 plasma thruster (Hall effect) takes benefit of Safran’s long experience with electric propulsion to propose a very efficient product. PPS®X00 was designed to address the specific requirements inherent in the “New Space” market environment. With a lifespan exceeding 5,000 hours and very high specific impulse, the PPS®X00 is an extremely versatile thruster, making it ideal for all types of applications in its core market: low Earth orbit (LEO).

Safran Ground Station is a turnkey ground segment solution with all required equipment and ground tools to proceed with removable media preparation and post-mission data retrieval and replay.

Key components are: 

• Rugged Heavy duty Laptop PC for military environment 
• RMM (Removable Memory Module) Docking Stations capable of reading up to 4 cartridges simultaneously, especially useful for mass debriefing. 
• Ground software suite (RMM Manager, eZ Viewer, MUST), very intuitive and user-friendly interface, for replay and exploitation of data while allowing customizable configuration of the display for mission debriefing. 
• Ruggedized Trolley Suitcase specifically adapted for the transport of the whole Ground Station.

This ground station, tested and approved by Safran before delivery, helps to accelerate the deployment on every integration Labs, Air Bases, and can be safely transported between different locations and environments

With its small and high ruggedized design, XMA is the best fit for remote data acquisitions in harsh and small space areas. 

It is the perfect candidate for network telemetry applications and remote acquisitions, to reduce the wire intrusiveness, and acquire the data closer to the sensors. 

XMA also allows data recording, data processing, GPS localization and data transmission. XMA has the smallest size/channel types ratio, and proposes optimized module set for a large number of data type acquisitions, with state-of-the-art accuracy. 

A complete set of status and health information of the unit is remotely available for live monitoring and accurate data qualifiers.

The RTR-X4 is one of the most advanced digital telemetry receivers on the market with its well-recognized RF performance and signal processing capability.

The 4U chassis-based RTR-X4 can support up to four channels providing flexibility and capability as well as a rich set of features for different frequency bands, modulations, decoders and output formats.

Not only does the CORTEX RTR provide an extensive set of features for different frequency bands, modulations, decoders and output formats, but the user can easily upgrade the equipment in the field to access additional and new features. The RTR-X4 is an excellent fit for flight test ranges, offering full flexibility and easy access to settings through its user-friendly GUI on the embedded 8.4-inch screen.

STAR (EWC15-NG) is a new generation of transceiver for high performance Telemetry, Tracking & Command (TT&C) services. It inherits from the EWC15 products, that have been used in key space missions such as ROSETTA, DEEP IMPACT, PARASOL, MICROSCOPE.

The RMM Manager utility software offers convenient, user-friendly pre-mission or post-mission access to SC1450-series Removable Memory Modules (RMM) for use with VS-Series video & data recorder/server, in PC/Windows® environment.

The Mission Recorder Cockpit Remote Control Unit is mounted in a cockpit dashboard and connect to a recorder system. The MCRCR shows status information on the NVG compatible display and can remote control the Mission Recorder System. 

The ENERTEC™ mission data processing and distribution units are dependable, cost-effective solutions designed to facilitate field and mission data handling, processing, storage, analysis, and distribution. These units are compatible with both manned and unmanned ground, air, and sea vehicles, offering a dependable resource. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing and validation, adhering to industry-standard testing procedures such as DO-160 and MIL-STD-810.

The XMA-BOX packs top-notch XMA module technology into a cost-effective 1U package, delivering high performance. This versatile system handles the acquisition, processing, and streaming of both analog and digital signals in various instrumentation data formats. 

Perfect for ground testing facilities, the XMA-BOX is also rugged enough to thrive in the diverse environmental conditions of small to large aircraft cabins. 

Whether it’s used as a standalone unit or integrated into a larger Flight Test Instrumentation (FTI) system, the XMA-BOX is the go-to-choice for meeting a wide range of data acquisition needs, all while ensuring cutting-edge accuracy.

The PPS®1350 Hall Effet plasma thruster draws on Safran’s long experience with electric propulsion. It is designed for orbital transfer, station keeping and deorbiting satellites and other spacecraft. In particular, the PPS 1350 was the primary engine on ESA’s lunar probe, Smart-1, launched in 2003 by an Ariane 5 rocket. This mission was completed in September 2006.
