Collaborative Earth Observation and SatCom Demonstrators
Funds four €5–10M projects that prepare end-to-end Earth Observation and satellite-communications demonstrations for commercial space use.
Earth Observation and satellite communications are becoming more valuable as services become faster, more flexible and more connected. This topic funds the high-TRL technology work needed to prepare collaborative end-to-end demonstrations and strengthen Europe’s commercial space sector.
Projects can improve secure SatCom missions, satellites as network nodes and digital ground infrastructure; adv…
An Innovation Action preparing high-TRL demonstration missions for collaborative Earth Observation and satellite communications. Projects can develop end-to-end SatCom mission capabilities and secure services; Earth Observation payloads, instruments, subsystems, data fusion and ground interfaces; or common building blocks such as onboard processing, high-performance payload hardware, secure systems and RF/optical hybrid ground stations. Proposals should identify their main development area, show system-level readiness toward TRL 7-8, use EU technologies and complement ESA and other funded activities.
