GMV to Deliver Next-Generation Satellite Control Software Suite for the Telesat Lightspeed Constellation

GMV has been selected by Telesat (Nasdaq and TSX: TSAT) to develop and deliver the next‑generation satellite control software suite for the Telesat Lightspeed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation. This strategic project represents a significant milestone for GMV, further cementing its leadership in the provision of advanced satellite control solutions and reinforcing its reputation as a trusted partner in the global space industry.

The control centre software developed by GMV will manage flight operations of the Telesat Lightspeed satellites, enabling real-time monitoring, command, and control of all satellite assets.

GMV brings extensive expertise in satellite operations, having successfully delivered cutting-edge control centers for some of the world’s most advanced satellite missions. At the heart of this project will be GMV’s real-time telemetry and telecommand processing system Hifly^®, the flight dynamics system FocusSuite^® and the advance mission solution Flexplan^®. These trusted and field-proven software solutions have accumulated an outstanding and unsurpassed operational experience supporting numerous satellite platforms worldwide. 

“Working alongside Telesat on the Telesat Lightspeed program is pivotal in underscoring GMV’s dedication to innovation and excellence in satellite control technology”, said Enrique Fraga, GMV’s Space Systems EST General Manager. "This collaboration not only reinforces our position as a global leader in satellite control systems but also enables us to play a key role in one of the most ambitious and transformative space initiatives of the decade."

By providing a technological backbone for one of the most advanced satellite constellations ever developed, GMV is solidifying its role as a key enabler of the next generation of satellite communications. This project marks another major milestone in GMV’s ongoing mission to innovate, shape the future of space operations, and drive the evolution of global connectivity.
