ALTEC is involved in the design, implementation and operations of several Ground Segment projects in close collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Italian Space Agency (ASI). Today ALTEC is operating dedicated centers for the support to the International Space Station (ISS) in strict collaboration with NASA Mission Control Center in Houston and the ESA Columbus Control Center in Germany, as well as dedicated centers for the data processing of scientific data based on HPC implementation, such as the GAIA Data Processing Center – Turin (DPCT), the Euclid Science Data Center Italy (SDC-IT), the Solar Orbiter METIS Operations Facility. In parallel the ExoMars ROCC and the Space Rider P/L and Landing Control Center are under implementation.
Network interconnection and information security are of fundamental importance in all these contexts and are often managed with all international and national partners, applying cutting-edge solutions and processes. The same applies to the corporate network and security infrastructure, which share technologies, solutions, processes, and procedures, ensuring a common approach within ALTEC’s operational perimeter.
ALTEC’s Information Systems group is also responsible for managing network and security aspects. The scope includes all mission operations and data processing centers and the company’s IT infrastructure. Activities involve applying the processes established by the ISO 27001:2022 information security standard, in line with NIS2 security requirements, and often involve close coordination with international counterparts.
