Double Milestone: HSM Aries.space Submits ERC 2026 PDR and Activates Unified Ground Station
HSM Aries.space completed two key ERC 2026 milestones: submission of its 100-plus-page Preliminary Design Review and hardware integration of the mission ground station.
HSM Aries.space reached two connected milestones for ERC 2026: submitting the project’s Preliminary Design Review and completing hardware integration for the Mission Ground Station.
A mission architecture on paper
The PDR is a technical document of more than 100 pages. It brings together structural analysis and kinematics, power-budget optimization, safety and risk work, and the pathways for software integration and autonomy.
The operational nervous system
At the same time, the IT and Systems teams integrated the central ground-station hardware. The setup includes calibrated high-gain antennas, a low-latency 4K video link, a multi-monitor control console, and a synchronized dashboard for LEAP-One and AQUILA telemetry.
