SSC Space partners with Intella to integrate automation into its Constellation Management System

Integration work is underway as SSC Space continues to develop its platform for scalable satellite operations. The companies will preview their collaboration through joint demonstrations at Space Tech Expo Europe.

SSC Space is partnering with Intella to integrate Mercury, Intella's live mission assurance software for satellite operations, into its Constellation Management System (CMS). The collaboration brings together SSC Space's spacecraft operations expertise and Intella's capabilities in telemetry analysis and operational decision support.

The CMS, presented at the IAC in Antalya this October, is currently under development. It is being designed as a modular, cloud-native platform to support individual satellites and growing constellations.

The platform will integrate Telemetry and Telecommand, Configuration Management, Mission Planning, Intelligent Scheduling, Flight Dynamics and Space Safety in one operational environment. Automation across these functionalities will enable efficient and scalable satellite operations. The CMS scope also includes integrated ground station access, including our service SSC Space Go, designed for the fast-paced demands of the commercial space market.

"Satellite operators need practical ways to grow their fleets without increasing operational workload at the same rate. We are developing CMS to bring the tools needed for satellite operations together in one environment. Our collaboration with Intella is a step towards extending that environment with capabilities that help operators identify and assess situations requiring their attention," says [name, title], SSC Space.

Mercury turns the checks an operations team would make into workflows that run continuously on live mission data, returning qualified events with context and a recommended action. Designed to work alongside mission control systems, it helps reduce manual monitoring while keeping operators in control of decisions.

SSC Space and Intella have started the integration work, with the aim of making Mercury's insights and recommendations accessible within the CMS operator environment.

"The most valuable operational knowledge often sits with experienced mission teams. Mercury turns that reasoning into live, repeatable workflows. Integrated into SSC Space's platform, it provides contextual events and recommended actions directly where operators work. Mercury proposes, and the operations team decides," says Daniele Bellomi, CCO of Intella.

Joint demonstrations at Space Tech Expo Europe

SSC Space and Intella will conduct joint demonstrations at Space Tech Expo Europe in Bremen, 17-19 November 2026, at SSC Space booth B20. The demonstrations will preview the Mercury-CMS integration and illustrate how third-party software can extend the capabilities of the developing platform.
