When CEDA (Centre for Environmental Data Archival) needed a way to enable scientists around the world to visualise and animate its extensive Earth observation dataset and climate simulation models, it called on Tessella’s scientific software and data analysis expertise. The resulting web based service was delivered against tight deadlines to coincide with the launch of [...]
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 [...]
How well can inertial navigation – measuring acceleration and orientation – be used to track people in areas where they can’t get a GPS signal? We spoke to Tessella’s Dave Dungate…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 [...]
Tessella are proud to be sponsoring GNC 2011 taking place on June 5th-11th 2011 in the Czech Republic. Tessella’s work will showcased in three separate presentations “Development of Generic AOCS Unit Simulation Models”, presented by Matt Pigg of Tessella, and describing an ongoing project being carried out for ESA by a consortium led by Tessella, [...]
KNOWING where troops are during combat operations can be a matter of life and death – but GPS technology used to track troops is fragile, the signal easily lost. Now a UK company is developing a lightweight, wearable tracker that can provide location cover when GPS is down…read more
