The Ground Segment Procurement approach

• The MTG Ground Segment procurement approach has been formulated based on multiple inputs. In particular, it draws on experience from previous Programmes Ground Segment procurements

• This experience is particularly derived from the Lessons Learnt exercises of MSG and EPS

• It follows the EUMETSAT applicable Procurement Procedures related to Ground Segment procurement approach selection

• By EUMETSAT rules, all major procurements require agreement by Council with Procurement Proposals to open and Contract Proposals to finalise each procurement

• All procurements will foresee development and maintenance arrangements, probably for one year but renewable


• On MSG, EUMETSAT played the role of prime

• On EPS, EUMETSAT was Prime for the Overall Ground Segment, but with the largest block, the Core Ground Segment, primed by Thales

• The MTG approach has EUMETSAT as the overall ground segment prime, and groups procurements into logical blocks where competence of Industry is expected within that domain

• Number and size of procurements is kept to a manageable level

Prime Contractor


The Ground Segment Procurement approach

• Major areas foreseen for procurement / development :

1. Ground Stations:

separate procurements for TT&C and MDA each with the related sites

2. Mission Operations Facility – including satellite M&C, flight dynamics and mission planning, BSCC

3. Instrument Data Processing L1 Facility

4. Level2 Processing Facility

5. the remaining procurements cover other areas, such as the upgrade of the existing Multi-Mission Elements, system engineering, integration and verification activities, networks, communications links.

• Incremental deliveries are foreseen in line with the Ground Segment and the spacecraft deployment strategy

• Full responsibility for achievement of the requirements baseline includes provision of operational hardware and licenses

• Existing software (including products) can be used if the scope meets MTG requirements and credible evolution paths exist

• EUMETSAT guidelines for installation and equipment will be taken on board in specifications


GS Procurement Approach - Stations

• There are effectively two different types of Ground Stations for MTG

• S-band for TT&C

• Ka-band for Mission Data Acquisition (MDA)

• These two types will be procured separately via open ITT

• Included in these procurements will be :

• All station equipment

• The sites

• On site services (maintenance and operations)

• Communication lines to EUMETSAT (to be exercised as an option)

• The sites need to respect the geo-graphical constraints:

• TT&C- 2 Site diversity and 10 degrees longitude separation of sites

• MDA – 2 sites within beam width (200km diameter) and outside same rain cell (approx. 70km)


GS Procurement Approach - Stations

• The TTC procurement will initially foresee two TT&C sites with one S-band antenna at each with expansion capability

• TT&Cs may be supplemented (3..5 additional capability) by a service contract in later years

• The MDA procurements will initially foresee two MDA sites with two antennas at each, expandable up to 4 at each

• MDA procurement includes the consolidator function at EUMETSAT HQ

• EUMETSAT Headquarters will be available to host one of the two MDA sites but this will not be imposed in the ITT

• Station M&C will be in each contract

• The procurements are foreseen to be initiated following the Ground Segment Preliminary Design Review

• On current planning the ITTs for both will appear in the 2nd half of 2012 (September, TBC)


GS Procurement Approach - Mission Operations Facility

• A single ITT will cover the role of a MOF Prime and subsystems

• Mission Planning

• Flight Dynamics

• Satellite Monitoring and Control

• Satellite Monitoring and Control to be based on SCOS-2000 – likely the latest version from ESOC at the time of ITT

• Specification against SCOS shall be a delta, aiming at minimising impact on core

• Prime contractor will have to take warranty and maintenance responsibility for all aspects, including SCOS infrastructure


GS Procurement Approach - Mission Operations Facility

• The Mission Planning Subsystem will not be specified to be based on a particular product. Evolution of existing software in use in EUMETSAT or elsewhere may be proposed by the Contractor.

• The Flight Dynamics Subsystem will not be specified to be based on a particular product. Evolution of existing software in use in EUMETSAT or elsewhere may be proposed by the Contractor.

• The procurement will also include tools, such as for Operations Preparation.

• The ITT is planned to be released at the end of the first half of 2012


GS Procurement Approach Instrument Data Processing and L2 Processing

• Close involvement of the Space Segment prime contractor is seen to provide significant risk reduction in the preparation of L1 processing

• L2 processing is driven by scientific in-house (including Member States) knowledge

• The level 1 processing will be performed by the Instrument Data Processing Facility (IDPF)

• The level 2 processing will be performed by the L2 Processing Facility (L2PF)

• Each facility will include its own data processing framework solution

• The procurements will include provision of the processing hardware, which will require large numbers of machines

• Consortiums would be appropriate for such work, with a distribution of work across companies based on skill-sets but with a clear Prime for each facility


GS Procurement Approach Instrument Data Processing Facility

• The level 1 processing in the IDPF is considered to be particularly challenging for the schedule and as such will be started first

• A Request for Quotation to TAS for the implementation is under preparation

• An ITT approach is not discarded

• In the event that an ITT is performed, then this will be when the information from the space segment is more mature

• The IDPF will cover the L1 processing for both the MTG-I and the MTG-S satellites


GS Procurement Approach L2 Processing Facility

• The L2PF will be procured as a single facility via open ITT

• Its scope will include the framework software, L2 application software and all operational hardware

• Flexibility to include new products is a key feature of EUMETSAT level 2 processing and this contract will foresee the capability to add in additional products, potentially developed in house by EUMETSAT (including products developed by Satellite Application Facilities)

• This ITT is expected late in 2012


Other Ground Segment Procurements

• The remaining procurements are associated with other areas, such as the upgrade of the existing Multi- Mission Elements, networks and communications links.

• The network will be handled as a special facility and equipment and design will be procured via ITT, with the ITT likely to be released in late 2012

• The overall Ground Segment system engineering, integration and verification activities will be performed directly by EUMETSAT. As shown in the consultancy charts in this presentation, significant industry provided consultancy support is foreseen.

• An industrial consultancy team in the area of AIV activities is not excluded.


Other Industrial Opportunities – Consultancy

• Extensive use of consultancy services from European industry

• The following table shows the planned consultancy needs for the MTG Development Programme (rounded to next integer FTE) for the various disciplines and for the period 2011-2020
