A leader in the European space industry.
From our offices in Darmstadt, Germany, MakaluMedia GmbH provides system engineering, development and consultancy services within the European space industry. Over the past decade, the company has built successful, long-term relationships with organizations such as the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), and Eutelsat Communications.
Ground segment systems and communications.
MakaluMedia has profound expertise in the satellite ground segment, which we apply to the development of related software systems and the provision of study/consultancy services. We developed the embedded software for ESA’s globally-deployed satellite tracking system (the IFMS), the embedded software for EUMETSAT’s METEOSAT tracking system (the MRS), as well as an advanced telemetry distribution system (TEDIS) for EUTELSAT. We have participated in studies related to monitoring and control systems, international data exchange formats, ground segment communications technologies and modern satellite tracking techniques.
Space Consultancy.
MakaluMedia is a recognized provider of space-related engineering consultancy. At EUMETSAT, we provide consultancy services ranging from spacecraft operations, to multi-platform software engineering, to scientific research support. At ESA’s operations center (ESOC), we provide ground segment engineering and software validation & verification consultancy through multiple, long-term service frame-contracts.
Quality Assurance & Configuration Management.
Through the development and maintenance of two advanced systems for ESA, MakaluMedia has positioned itself as a competent provider of QA and configuration management expertise. ARTS is used within ESA to support issue reporting and resolution across more than 50 projects and missions, and involving more than 700 users. CRS is in use by ESA, and numerous industrial system developers, to provide detailed and complete configuration reporting. Both systems, ARTS and CRS, are now available from MakaluMedia as commercial products.
