4CON can carry out technical studies to determine optimum system architecture and system parameters typically in the telecommunications, earth observation and global navigation areas, such as on-board power, data rates, antenna size and type and on-ground power, data rates and ground station architecture, as well as other system parameters. These studies also cover feasibility studies in manned space systems such as life-support, health maintenance, ergonomics and operational aspects as well as the application of automation and robotics.

We also provide studies in support of proposals by medium to large aerospace companies to space agencies with a view to later-on capture of the development contracts based on knowledge gained during the feasibility phase. In addition to these areas 4CON also offers assessments and evaluations related to PA/QA/safety issues in both unmanned and manned systems and also assessments related to standards and benchmarking and to the now controversial cheaper/faster/better approach to systems design. 4CON offers to agencies and/or aerospace companies innovative and resourceful solutions to such feasibility and system issues based not on a requirements versus compliance analysis but rather on an innovative approach based on assessments of systems issues behind the stated requirements.
