The XTCE database converter for the OS/COMET® satellite command and control product. enhances the utility of OS/COMET® and enables users to easily translate databases in XTCE, a telemetry and telecommand data exchange specification originated by the Object Management Group™, to OS/COMET® source files for real-time operations.

This format converter coupled with our OS/COMET® reduces the cost of OS/COMET® based satellite command and control systems. It allows the easy conversion of an XTCE schema-compliant XML database, which defines the telemetry and command databases of the system, into a set of OS/COMET® runtime files. The XTCE specification was recently adopted by the OMG as a tool to standardize and simplify the exchange of satellite command and telemetry databases.

The XTCE database converter, along with OS/COMET®, enables the tailoring of software capabilities to meet the needs of different missions and the customer’s concept of operations.
