Taitus Software Italia s.r.l.

Taitus produces software products for space-related activities specializing in remote sensing applications. The software products are available in four different formats: Applications, Plugins, Libraries, Web services. We have highly-configurable and powerful applications which are extremely user-friendly due to a highly intuitive and user-oriented interface. With the plug-in architecture available in some of our applications, we are able to offer extensions and customisations by creating plug-ins. We also provide libraries and software development kits (SDKs) so that our clients can develop their own customised applications.

Taitus applications are powered by in-house-built technology that makes extensive use of modern 3D computer graphics, integrated with advanced user interfaces.

Taitus technology is based on careful optimization of data analysis according to its type, which determines if it will be best processed either by the CPU or the GPU. It is important to notice that the more multithreaded the data, the more advantageous GPU processing is over traditional CPU processing. All Taitus projects use the in-house built components, GanttX and SatX, which greatly reduces the development cycle times and provides an enormous library of complex and continually-tested functionalities.

The main product, SaVoir - Multisatellite Swath Planner, is a standard in the industry: it is a standalone application for fast planning of Earth observation Satellite sensing operations over selected Areas of Interest (AOI). By combining each satellite’s orbit, sensor field of view geometry and the shape and location of a user-defined AOI, it can determine the exact times when a satellite would be capable of observing the specified area. SaVoir’s functionalities can be expanded thanks to the addition of plugins, which can be customized according to the customer’s needs.

HERMES is a software development ecosystem (HERMES SDK plus applications, plugins and services) that allows building quickly and efficiently software systems for the space industry, providing competitive advantages in terms of performance and visualization. It is focused on providing our customers, satellite service providers and end-users of satellite data, specifically those in the segment of Earth Observation, the perfect tool to precisely plan and design the right scheduling, the right amount of data and the right providers to cost-effectively achieve their mission goals. HERMES aims to incorporate into the space and satellite industries the latest technological innovations available in the hardware and software industries, in particular the use of GPUs to process visualization, simulation and similar data commonly used in space application.
