Satellite Ground Segments
OHB Digital develops end-to-end ground segment solutions for sophisticated satellite missions. Its most important customer is the German federal armed forces. OHB Digital can access the extensive know-how held by the other members of the OHB Group in order to adapt the ground segments to meet the mission requirements precisely and thus execute highly functional, automated and cost-effective solutions.
In addition to the hardware for mission control and for processing and archiving satellite data, OHB also provides all products for the operation of the necessary IT infrastructure, mission planning, data preparation and analysis and archiving. The requisite workflows are developed and implemented together with the customers.
All systems are developed in accordance with military standards and in compliance with the latest IT security requirements.
OHB DIGITAL has always been aware of the prime importance of the secure operation of IT environments, helping its customers in the space sector to develop appropriate solutions. OHB DIGITAL is actively involved in various projects working on the further development of cyber security in space.
