Digital enablers and building blocks for autonomous space transportation systems
Funds early-stage digital technology — health monitoring, smart avionics, AI data processing — that makes future launch systems more autonomous.
Digital enablers and building blocks for autonomous space transportation systems is a HADEA (European Health and Digital Executive Agency) call, worth EUR 1-3 million per project, that funds early-stage digital technology — health-monitoring systems, high-speed sensor networks, smart avionics and AI algorithms for processing large volumes of flight data — making future launch systems more autonomo…
HADEA wants low-to-mid readiness-level building blocks for space transportation autonomy: health-monitoring systems, high-speed sensor networks, smart avionics and AI algorithms for processing large volumes of flight data. It wants eco-design software tools that make spacecraft components reconfigurable and reusable in orbit.
