The EPOCH Database product from Integral Systems, Inc., is an easy-to-use, comprehensive solution for maintaining all mission-specific information used to configure the other EPOCH IPS software components. It is designed to support the needs of an individual mission, as well as those of an entire fleet or constellation. It supports all phases of the satellite and ground segment life cycle - from payload and satellite integration and test, through prelaunch, launch, and early orbit, as well as mission operations. Furthermore, the EPOCH Database is your solution to accommodating different satellites and ground equipment from any manufacturer.

The system defines all satellite telemetry, commanding, and ground status characteristics, including context-sensitive definitions of telemetry stream locations, engineering conversions, limits, and textual states. The system is equally versatile for commanding. EPOCH Database enables various types of command and telemetry verification, command stream characteristics, and individual command syntax to be defined entirely within the database. Even packetized methods, such as CCSDS, are supported directly.

Applications/Usage
EPOCH Database is part of Integral Systems' fully integrated EPOCH IPS product line. It provides satellite operators and test engineers the tools they need to define and maintain the command and telemetry definitions and user access privileges for each of their various operating and test scenarios, regardless of the type of satellite, type of payload, or ground/test equipment.
