Descrizione del progetto
Aumentare l’efficienza delle prestazioni del software spaziale
L’industria spaziale deve affrontare una sfida significativa nello sviluppo di sistemi software. Non solo sono costosi e richiedono molto tempo, ma i complessi calcoli coinvolti nelle missioni di acquisizione dei dati satellitari possono richiedere diverse ore. Ciò comporta ritardi che potrebbero influire su applicazioni critiche come l’allarme in caso di situazioni di emergenza e la gestione delle catastrofi naturali. È necessaria una soluzione per snellire lo sviluppo del software nell’industria spaziale. Il progetto HERMES, finanziato dall’UE, svilupperà un ecosistema di sviluppo software che consentirà la creazione rapida ed efficiente di sistemi software per l’industria spaziale. Offrirà un impulso unico alle prestazioni di esecuzione, con un aumento della velocità di elaborazione compreso tra 10 e 100 volte. Inoltre, questo vantaggio ha un impatto diretto sulle strategie di consumo dei dati satellitari, riducendo i costi.
Obiettivo
TAITUS, a company with a 12+ years success track record providing services to the most relevant players in the space sector (e.g. ESA, THALES, AIRBUS) and big companies (e.g. PETROBRAS). Moreover, our talented professional team is composed by renown experts in the Space sector, as is the case of our CEO, Mr Felipe Martín-Crespo (15+ years’ experience as ESA’s Technical Officer of the Envisat Payload Data Segment development, in the Earth Observation Projects Division), or Mr Stephen Wu (25+ years’ experience in the field of Earth Observation, 15+ years’ experience in ESA’s establishment in Frascati, Italy).
HERMES is a SW development ecosystem (HERMES SDK plus applications, plugins and services)that allows building quickly and efficiently SW systems for the space industry.
1. Models successfully proven on-the-field on rigorous missions (e.g. Sentinel program)
2. Our high quality SW Development Kit (SDK) let our clients save more than 65% of development cost, thanks to its high modularity and our SDK license cost is 50% cheaper than those from our competitors with equivalent features.
3. Uncompromised embedded visualisations engine.
More importantly, we offer a unique boost in execution performance.
1. Our proprietary General Purpose Graphic Processing Unit (GPGPU) algorithmic (10x-100x boost in processing speed) let our clients obtain the results of the complex calculations involved in satellite-data acquisition missions in a few minutes instead of waiting several hours, which directly impacts their satellite-data consumption strategy (75% costs reduction).
2. Moreover, this is a unique selling point that none of our competitors can offer and our main competitive advantage.
3. Furthermore, timeliness is critical in applications such as disaster warning systems, where response time measures in terms of human lives, or natural disaster management, such as oil-spills where response time is critical to minimise the long-term environmental impact.
