ESA have funded a study aimed at prototyping several sensor and actuator models to be used for Attitude Orbit Control System (AOCS) performance analysis and validation on a range of test environments, including Avionics test benches. The development of such models offers the potential for reductions in effort through the reuse of validated unit models [...]
Janet, the government-funded organisation that runs the UK’s research and education network, wanted to replace its existing business intelligence platform with a more up-to-date solution that could link more effectively with a wide range of databases and provide detailed reports on-the-fly. The organisation partnered with Tessella who were charged with identifying and evaluating the leading [...]
We are in the middle of a big data arms race, and it’s gathering pace. The aim seems deceptively simple: collect loads of data, analyse it and generate insight that gains you a competitive edge. Since future success is seen to rest in the hands of the data ‘haves’, no-one dares risk being out-competed by [...]

The first scientific results from ESA’s Planck mission were released at a press briefing on Tuesday 11 January in Paris (http://www.esa.int) and the latest results of the Planck telescope images presented at the 217th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle. Physics World have recently published an article detailing the success of this project, [...]
Tessella to lead world class team in development of advanced models for Attitude and Orbit Control Systems (AOCS) Oxford, UK | December 8, 2010. Tessella, the international provider of science powered technology and consulting services is pleased to announce that the European Space Agency (ESA) has selected Tessella to develop generic sets of unit [...]
UK companies have been successful in winning a number of ITER International Organisation (ITER IO) project management contracts to assist the central engineering team with design, procurement scheduling and liaison with other partners’ ITER Domestic Agencies..read more
Six second-generation Globalstar satellites were successfully launched on October 19th. Working for the satellite manufacturers, Thales Alenia Space France, Tessella designed two of the control modes: Earth acquisition mode and nominal pointing mode. The Soyuz-Fregat launcher lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 17.11 UTC on October 19th. Shortly afterwards, Globalstar confirmed that [...]
In the 60 years since the invention of the digital computer, millions of lines of code have been developed to support scientific research. Although an increasingly important part of almost all research projects, most research software is barely fit for purpose compared to equivalent systems in the commercial world. The code is hard to understand [...]
Tessella and Physics World free webinar on the current state of scientific research software available on demand In the 60 years since the invention of the digital computer, millions of lines of code have been developed to support scientific research.
