SABIA-Mar: Moving Toward Mission Operations

We have successfully completed another round of reviews for the SABIA-Mar satellite mission: the Ground Segment Qualification Review (GSQR) and the Mission Operational Review (MOR). These two evaluations are essential for advancing the operational readiness of the mission, led by CONAE, which is scheduled for launch in 2027.

During these reviews, we verified compliance with Ground Segment requirements, the functionality of its systems, and readiness to begin operational validation tests. We also evaluated the coordination between the Ground Segment and the Flight Segment through tests that allow satellite functions to be controlled from the Mission Control Center in Córdoba, while integration continues in Bariloche. 

At VENG, we are responsible for mission operations and Ground Segment integration. This work involves our flight engineering, Ground Segment engineering, systems integration, and technology infrastructure teams, which combine their capabilities to ensure the coordinated operation of the various components. 

The experience gained over more than eight years of operating the SAOCOM satellites provides a fundamental foundation for tackling the challenges of SABIA-Mar and continuing to strengthen our technological capabilities. 

With this new milestone, we are moving forward toward the next stages of integration, validation, and operational preparation, reaffirming our commitment to the development of the Argentine space industry.
