Ground operations and satellite mission software for European space agencies
LSE Space (now operating under SSC Space) runs ground segment and mission-planning software for satellite and manned-spacecraft operations across ESA, EUMETSAT, and Galileo programs. The stack is operationally mature—Python, Java, Kubernetes, Jenkins, MySQL—with heavy use of domain-specific tools (SysML, MATLAB) and legacy Windows/Visual Basic components, indicating deep integration into long-running institutional missions. Current hiring (10 roles, all engineering and ops, all Germany) skews mid-level, signaling a scaling phase in operations execution rather than architecture overhaul.
LSE Space is an independent space consultancy based in Gilching, Bavaria, with over 30 years of operational heritage in satellite and spacecraft mission support. The company provides engineering, operations, and software services across the full mission lifecycle—design, testing, launch, and on-orbit operations—for both government (ESA, EUMETSAT) and commercial space customers. Core offerings include mission-planning software, ground segment infrastructure, operations monitoring and control systems, and training and certification. The company is ISO 9001-certified and operates with permanent staff across engineering and operations teams.
