Aerospace Perspectives Series: Eutelsat Group’s Journey to Real-Time Spacecraft Monitoring
5 December 2024 1:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time)
This webinar is hosted by AIAA, is presented by InfluxData, and is open to the public.
During this webinar, we’ll explore how Eutelsat Group, a global communications company, harnessed the power of InfluxDB to monitor and analyze telemetry data from its OneWeb constellation of hundreds of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. As Eutelsat Group works to provide high-speed, low-latency broadband access worldwide, managing the vast influx of time series data from its growing satellite network presents unique challenges.
Our speaker will provide a look at Eutelsat Group’s data architecture, discussing how InfluxDB time series database integrates with their existing systems to provide real-time insights into spacecraft health, performance, and network status. We’ll explore the custom dashboards and alerting mechanisms built on top of InfluxDB, enabling Eutelsat Group’s operations team to proactively manage their fleet.

Aerospace Perspectives Series: Unlock Mission-Critical Insights: Discover How Aerospace Companies Leverage Time Series Data to Drive Innovation, Enhance Operations, and Reduce Costs
This webinar is hosted by AIAA, is presented by InfluxData, and is open to the public.
Making the connection between data and insights is critical for aerospace and satellite companies because those insights impact safety, innovation, and costs. To maximize ROI and minimize safety risks, you need to be able to make sense of the massive amounts of data generated by your systems, devices, and services. All of this time-stamped data requires real-time analysis to identify patterns and insights.
In this session, InfluxData’s VP of product marketing, Balaji Palani, and lead developer advocate, Anais Dotis-Georgiou, will share how aerospace companies are using their time series data to:
- Enable real-time anomaly detection and data-driven decisions that improve performance.
- Optimize mission-critical processes and improve operational efficiency.
- Build reliable data pipelines that reduce time-to-launch and lower costs.
Join the webinar for detailed aerospace customer stories and a live demo that shows how to collect, manage, and store mountains of high-resolution data (e.g., millions of data points every second with nanosecond precision).

Aerospace Perspectives Series: Inspecting Parts With Rapid, Automated, and High-Volume Industrial CT Scanning
This webinar is hosted by AIAA, is presented by Lumafield, and is open to the public.
Industrial computed tomography (CT) scanning offers a non-destructive and highly detailed method of inspecting aerospace, defense, and avionics. It utilizes x-rays and advanced reconstruction techniques to provide intricate 3D visualizations of internal structures. By using CT scanning, manufacturers can meticulously examine composite materials, wiring, seals, connectors, and valves to pinpoint the causes of failures—whether it’s material defects, inconsistencies in manufacturing, or wear-induced damage. Armed with this knowledge, aerospace manufactures can take proactive steps to resolve these issues, ensuring product reliability, patient safety, and preventing expensive recalls.
During this webinar, representatives from Lumafield will discuss the application of CT scanning for inspecting aerospace, defense, and avionics at all stages of the development process, from initial R&D through high-volume production with automated end-to-end workflows.
