The XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL operational ground segment: Synergetic systems and software operated for more than two decades
The European Space Agency (ESA) has been operating the XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL observatories for over two decades, providing invaluable high-energy astrophysical data. Both missions share a synergistic operational ground segment, allowing for streamlined mission control, automation enhancements, and optimized resource utilization. This paper discusses the evolution of the mission control system, the integration of automation for spacecraft and instrument operations, and the adoption of virtualization technologies to ensure long-term mission sustainability. Additionally, it highlights the challenges of maintaining real-time telemetry-driven operations while minimizing operational costs. Lessons learned from these missions provide key insights for future ESA science operations. A key outcome highlighted in this work is the long-term success of retaining the legacy SOCS-2000 system, which has reliably operated for over two decades despite evolving hardware and software environments.

期刊介绍:
Astronomy and Computing is a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the broad area between astronomy, computer science and information technology. The journal aims to publish the work of scientists and (software) engineers in all aspects of astronomical computing, including the collection, analysis, reduction, visualisation, preservation and dissemination of data, and the development of astronomical software and simulations. The journal covers applications for academic computer science techniques to astronomy, as well as novel applications of information technologies within astronomy.
