HORIZON EUROPE: Future space ecosystems: on-orbit operations, new system concepts
Expected Outcome Enable the industrialisation and new services in space by intelligent solutions and concepts, exploiting synergies with terrestrial sectors and cultivating an AppStore and Open-Architecture mentality. Therefore, automation, robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) especially in combination with standardisation, modularisation and digitalisation are key enablers, improving space systems and satellites’ flexibility and cost-efficiency, increasing sustainability and accessibility, introducing mass-customisation […]
Building a sustainable future with the power of #EUSpace
From monitoring the performance of solar panels with Copernicus to assessing heat loss of buildings with Galileo-enabled drones, #EUSpace keeps an eye on our continent‘s green infrastructure. Copernicus, Galileo, and EGNOS, when working in conjunction or -as standalone systems- are key assets to implementing green energy solutions and to making the construction sector more efficient. […]
Horizon 2020: Prize for ‘European Low-Cost Space Launch’
Specific Challenge The challenge is to develop a European technologically non-dependent solution for launching light satellites into Low-Earth Orbit (LEO), which will enable dedicated low-cost launches with committed schedule and orbit. The solution needs to be innovative, implementable, affordable in development and exploitation phases, and commercially viable. Applicants are required to take a holistic approach […]
European Space Camp 2021
The European Space Camp is a summer camp taking place in summer 2021 in Andøya Rocket Range, in Norway. High-school students worldwide, from 17 to 20 years old, interested in space and science, and having a background in physics and mathematics are invited to apply. They will spend a week doing technical experiments involved in a rocket […]
International Day of Human Space Flight: The challenges of long-term space travel
The International Day of Human Space Flight is an opportunity to celebrate our exploration of space, marking the day Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth and became the first human in space. Since then, progress has been made: we have been to the Moon, built an orbital laboratory, the International Space Station (ISS), and sent probes […]
ExoMars to take off for the Red Planet in 2022
The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Roscosmos Space Corporation have decided to postpone the launch of the second ExoMars mission to study the Red Planet to 2022. The joint ESA-Roscosmos project team evaluated all the activities needed for an authorisation to launch, in order to analyse the risks and schedule. With due consideration […]
