Monitoring 8,000 Satellites 24/7

How The German Space Component Command Monitors Satellite Activity with VuWall Technology

Space has become a contested domain, as evidenced by recent cyberattacks, including an incident at Japan’s Space Agency, and the risk posed to over 8,000 satellites in orbit over Earth.

Any prolonged disruption could have catastrophic consequences for financial transactions, public and air transportation, weather forecasting, mobile communication, and navigation.

Recognizing this, NATO and other countries have identified space as the next critical domain to protect. Safeguarding space-based services and monitoring the activities of others is the core mission of the Space Component Command (SpCC), a major command of the German Air Force that acts as its competence center for planning and conducting space operations.

Challenge: Seeking a User-Friendly Interface for Monitoring Space Activity

For its critical mission, the German Space Situational Awareness Centre (GSSAC) observes near-Earth space from the city of Uedem approximately 100 km from Cologne.  Satellites and other space activity are monitored around the clock to identify threats and analyze the impact of space weather.

The GSSAC team’s command center needed a secure control room with multiple video walls capable of displaying high-resolution from a range of sources in real-time. Those sources also needed to be routed into two separate displays without interfering with one another.

They also needed an interface that was user-friendly so that operators and personnel could rotate shifts easily without anyone requiring lengthy training sessions.

Solution

To ensure a successful control room implementation, GSSAC enlisted integrator roda computer GmbH, specialists in defense-related IT system solutions. Their expertise helped design and deploy a high-performance video wall system tailored to mission-critical operations.

The control room features two 3×3 video walls, each with nine Samsung VH55R-R LCD displays, chosen for their ultra-narrow bezels and high-resolution imaging. VuWall’s TRx enables seamless control and flexibility for operators managing critical data. Its user-friendly interface brings simplicity to control room operators allowing them to perform their tasks without worrying about technology, thus improving operations, minimizing errors, and facilitating shift changes.

Résultats

The implemented video wall system meets all of GSSAC’s requirements, including high-resolution feeds routed to separate displays. TRx’s user-friendly interface enables operators to quickly change shifts and terminals without interruption or delay of any kind.

The space agency’s video wall now displays a dynamic, informative situational picture of space at all times. Signals coming from the workstations are divided into two video wall systems, preventing signal interference. This created two isolated solutions, ensuring data security and operational stability.

Now, the monitoring and safeguarding of over 8,000 satellites is a more manageable task for a dedicated team of professionals who need to enable quick decision-making at a moment’s notice to keep the skies secure.

About the Space Component Command

The Space Component Command (SpCC) bundles tasks in the field of military space utilization for the coordinated deployment, protection and defence of space systems. Their mission corresponds to overall national security. All space utilization activities of the Bundeswehr are seen as a permanent task: Space Situational Awareness (SSASpace Situational Awareness), the planning and conducting of space operations, mission support from space and the operation of the Bundeswehr’s space systems. The German SpCC bears overall operational responsibility for this permanent task.
