Hey Bill - it must be time to sell

Colorado Springs - Apr 01, 2004
Harris Corporation has release of a new version of its OS/COMET product suite, the industry's leading satellite Telemetry Tracking and Command (TT&C) solution. Compatible with the Linux Operating System, the new version of OS/COMET provides satellite operators with a choice of operating systems and hardware platforms when either building or upgrading their control centers. The announcement was made during the 20th National Space Symposium this week in Colorado Springs.

OS/COMET is an advanced software tool set featuring commercial off-the- shelf (COTS) design and high levels of flexibility. Designed for government and commercial applications, it is used to support both single-satellite missions and the largest and most complex satellite networks deployed today, including Iridium, GPS, the 16-spacecraft fleet of the U.S. Navy Space Operations Command (NAVSOC), and Telesat Canada.

OS/COMET also features a suite of "bolt-on" products -- all of which are capable of running on either Linux or Solaris -- that provide enhanced capabilities such as operations automation, ground equipment control, automated fault resolution, spacecraft simulation, and TT&C functionality via a PC client. HTSC plans to deliver the Linux version of OS/COMET in May.

"With this new offering, Harris provides its customers with a choice between the two most proven and reliable operating systems for real-time operations," said Scott Criley, OS/COMET business development manager, Harris Technical Services Corporation (HTSC). "The new version also provides users with the added flexibility of choosing not only the operating system, but also the hardware platform."

HTSC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Harris Corporation, serving the information technology service marketplace. HTSC provides world-class, cost- effective operation, maintenance, engineering, and technical support services to the U.S. Government, prime contractors, and other Harris divisions.
