Gridded Ion Engine Standardised Electric Propulsion Platforms (GIESEPP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

The consortium proposes an innovative activity to develop, build and test to TRL5 the first European Plug and Play Gridded Ion Engine Standardised Electric Propulsion Platform (GIESEPP) to operate Airbus Safran Launchers and QinetiQ Space ion engines. These are the only European ion engines in the 200-700W (LEO) and 5kW (GEO) domains that are space-proven, and the consortium’s intention will be to ...

Lunar Volatiles Mobile Instrument (LUVMI)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

The ISECG identifies one of the first exploration steps as in situ investigations of the moon or asteroids. Europe is developing payload concepts for drilling and sample analysis, a contribution to a 250kg rover as well as for sample return. To achieve these missions, ESA depends on international partnerships.Such missions will be seldom, expensive and the drill/sample site selected will be based ...

FUTURE ATOMIC CLOCK TECHNOLOGY (FACT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

During the last decades atomic clocks and frequency standards have become an important resource for advanced economies with impact ranging from satellite navigation (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo) to high speed communication networks, where they ensure synchronisation of data packets at ever higher bit rates. In this field the wake of the new millennium has been marked by the invention of frequency comb t ...

Space quaLification Of High-Power SSPA based on GaN technology (SLOGAN)

Start date: Sep 5, 2013, End date: Aug 1, 2016,

Next generation of Guidance Navigation Satellite Systems will require an increase in the available power of navigation signals at the receiver on ground. Current FOC Galileo satellites under development make use of TWTAs to provide an output power of nearly 200W (E1 band). Next generation of Galileo satellites will require higher output powers (2dB more) what implies a challenge in the design and ...

Towards Neutral-atom Space Optical Clocks: Development of high-performance transportable and breadboard optical clocks and advanced subsystems (SOC2)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

"A range of new applications will be enabled by ultra-precise optical clocks, some of which by using them in space, near or far distant from Earth. They cover the fields of fundamental physics (tests of General Relativity), time and frequency metrology (comparison of distant terrestrial clocks, operation of a master clock in space), geophysics (mapping of the gravitational potential of the Earth), ...

"Prediction, Protection & Reduction of OrbiTal Exposure to Collision Threats" (P²-ROTECT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"The strategic importance of space systems is growing in Europe, for civil and defence applications (satellite communications, ..). Recent examples have shown that on-orbit collisions brought on by space debris are important threats. On one hand, some space debris are routinely tracked, making the collisions predictable, but they increase the cost of space missions’ management. On the other hand, ...
