Satellite Reliability and Technical Analysis assesses the reliability and the implications of the failure of a satellite to perform to nominal specification. Assessment is performed by in-house spacecraft engineers and through exclusive access to the largest dataset on satellite sub-systems and component part reliability. Technical review can be performed at fleet, satellite, system or sub-system level.

A typical report will include Satellite and/or fleet history, risk failure analysis, best and worst case risk range, fleet diversification, bandwidth and orbital positioning, fleet redundancy considerations, ground station issues, beam patterns and ground visibility.

Technical reviews can be performed on Geostationary Orbit (GEO), Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) Satellites and Constellations. Our capability extends to assessing the likely failure rates of entire fleets and Satellites beyond design life.

Launch Vehicle Reliability Review can provide interested parties with an impartial view of the historic, current and expected reliability of a wide range of launch vehicles. This analysis is undertaken using a comprehensive database of launch vehicle failures and applies this to a model which factors in the heritage of the launch vehicle systems and any demonstrated learning within the design or manufacturer.

Any company with an interest in the health of a Satellite, be this an operator, their clients, end users or investors need to be aware of and be able to quantify the effects of Space weather and other environmental effects on their business interests.

Combining world leading knowledge in the fields of space weather and satellite systems, our Space environment analysis can identify and quantify risk to individual satellite systems or space insurance portfolios which are at risk of aggregated or systemic loss.

Hacking, jamming and satellite security is an increasing concern to Satellite operators and their clients. Our reports identify and explain both uplink and downlink risks posed by user level targeted attack through to multi user network attack and how these affect different satellites.

Our analysis explains the different levels of risk posed and what form they can take, from low level local attack through to unauthorised control of a satellite and the consequences of denial of service. We look at carrier wave, static noise (partial or full band) and replay attacks as well as the risk of unintentional disruption. We look at security based on modulation, encoding and encryption including threats to ground station security.
