Successful operation of a geostationary telecommunications satellite from control center in Bremen
Bremen, June 12, 2025 : OHB Digital Connect's Multi-Mission Control Center (MMCC) at the Bremen site was recently successfully used to operate a geostationary telecommunications satellite for a period of two days.
The MMCC provides OHB Digital Connect with a flexible in-house satellite control center. For the recent operation of the geostationary telecommunications satellite, an existing backup control center was technically modified and relocated to the MMCC.
“The satellite was very cooperative in its interaction with our control center. Routine operations and the test campaign went smoothly,” explains Hendrik Beer, team leader in OHB Digital Connect's Satellite Operations program.
The satellite was then handed back to the main control center in good health. The temporary operation of an operational geostationary satellite from Bremen was therefore a complete success.
