Collaboration in Ariane 6 vehicle launch

Jul 9, 2024

Evoleo Technologies proudly announces its collaboration on the Ariane 6 vehicles launch, scheduled for July 9th.

This collaboration involves integrating its advanced Power Distribution and Control Unit (PDCU) within the VIKI flight elements of the Independent HD Video Telemetry Kit (VIKI).

Developed by Réaltra Space Systems Engineering, the VIKI system has been qualified for use on both Ariane 5 and Ariane 6 launch vehicles by ArianeGroup.

VIKI is a modular and scalable video telemetry system designed to operate in full autonomous mode, independent of the vehicle launch on-board systems, but also offers options for full integration with the launcher avionics system.

The VIKI system is designed to capture and broadcast high-definition video from HD IP cameras strategically positioned on the Ariane 6. It will provide live images of critical events during the launch, including the stages, fairing, and payload separation, for both commercial and engineering purposes.

Evoleo Technologies' PDCU ensures reliable power distribution and control, maintaining the integrity and performance of the video telemetry system throughout the mission.

Réaltra's SpaceSystems Engineering Division is coordinating the project, with Evoleo Technologies contributing by developing the crucial PDCU. All components are fundamental to the success of this launch.

VIKI Features:

  • Modular, scalable, and flexible video telemetry system

  • Full HD video with H.265 compression and Ethernet output

  • High-quality optics with a full range of lenses available

  • Programmable video, telemetry, and timing/sequencing parameters

  • Qualified for launcher and space environment operation

Applications

Launcher in-flight HD video image capture for:

  • Launcher stage & booster separation events

  • Fairing and payload separation events

  • Upper stage engine firing events

  • On-board technology maturation in-flight experiment monitoring

Re-Entry vehicle HD video image capture for:

  • Solar array/antenna deployment events

  • On-orbit proximity operations with other spacecraft or platforms

  • On-board in-flight experiment monitoring

  • Re-entry preparation events

Our collaboration on the Ariane 6 launch vehicles underscores our commitment to advancing aerospace technology. The integration of our PDCU within the VIKI system exemplifies our dedication to providing robust and reliable solutions that enhance mission-critical operations.

The innovative VIKI system with Evoleo Technologies' PDCU is expected to set a new benchmark in launch vehicle telemetry, offering unparalleled video quality and reliability for real-time monitoring and analysis.
