The start date of the Frame Contracts is scheduled for 1 April 2010. Thereafter, the ESA will start issuing Requests for Proposals for new activities falling under the scope of the Frame Contracts.

Horst Wulf, the Director responsible for SciSys' Space Division commented "This prestigious contract extends SciSys' 30+ year record of working with ESOC. We currently generate in excess of €3 million per annum in revenues from our present frame contracts at ESOC. The new contract will allow us to continue our existing ground software work with ESOC on satellite mission control systems and simulators for at least three, and potentially up to five, years. It will also offer the opportunity for us to expand our activities in the provision of software for ground stations, satellite navigation, flight dynamics and data centres."
