7 2 Socio-economic impact of space applications Introduction: 7

8 Space systems are important components of the critical communication and information-based infrastructure of modern societies. 8

9 How space might help to meet societal challenges? Environment Natural resources Security Mobility of people and goods Information economy Economic growth 9

10 Impact model for space activities Capabilities in science and technology Products and services developed in space programmes Impact on economy and society 10

11 Enduring impacts and socioeconomic benefits New products and services Improved productivity and efficiency gains Cost avoidances National economic growth Source: The space economy at a glance 2011; OECD (2011) 11

12 The main segments of the space economy Revenues (%) of commercial actors Space manufacturing (incl launchers); 33 % Operational and commercial applications 58 % Satellite operators 9 % 12

13 A large influence on German economy 45 % of GDP The space sector has direct or indirect influence on economic sectors which cover nearly half of the German GDP. A direct influence on 22% of the German GDP (equivalent to 584 billion) an indirect influence on another 23% of the German GDP ( 604 billion). 13

14 Background of the German estimation These results are from a pre-study on the socio-economic impact of the space sector in Germany. The study was done in September-December The results are based on an expert estimation of the space sector s influence on German GDP and will be a part of an evalution of German National Programme for Space and Innovation over the period 2011 to Source: Member_States.pdf 14

15 Finland s space activities in 2014 Source: 15

16 A large industrial impact in Finland 25% The Tekes annual customer survey was sent to over 1,500 companies in The survey was answered by 807 companies. Approximately 200 out of 807 companies involved in innovation have products, services or processes which would not work without space technology; a significant ratio of 1/4. Finnish companies reported benefits from space data in the following fields: locating and tracking, communication and information, weather reports, environment and area modelling. 16

17 Large socio-economic benefits expected from European programs The EC estimates that 6-7% of European GDP around 800 billion is already dependent on satellite navigation. The overall economic impact of Galileo is estimated to be 90 billion over the next 20 years. According to the EC, the benefits from all the GMES services in full use would equal 130 billion or around 6.9 billion per year. The estimated cumulative socio-economic benefits from the Eumetsat EPS/MetOp-SG system for are not less than 15.7 billion and could range up to 62.6 billion, due to the positive impact on weather forecasting (in Europe). 17

18 Case: ice service in the Baltic Sea 18

19 Ice conditions in the Baltic Sea Over 90 % of Finnish exports and imports will travel by sea. The major Finnish ports (25) will be kept open in winter. Finland is the only country where all ports will freeze in winter. In calm weather, the ice will remain flat and if routes are opened they can stay open for few days. In a storm, the ice will move and create ridges. Therefore, open water will quickly close up. 19

20 Ice conditions have been monitored in Finland since Finland s first icebreaker entered into service in Weekly ice reports have been published since Aircrafts and helicopters were used for gathering ice data. All major harbors have been kept open since The first studies of using optical satellite images were done in the 1980 s. The use of data collected by the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) instrument started after the launch of ERS-1 in The decision to stop using helicopters were done in 2003 when the ice service became dependent on the satellite radar data coming from Envisat and Radarsat. 20

21 Ice service based on satellite data Ground truth data Earth observation data Ice FMI Ice information products ERS, Envisat, Radarsat, Cryosat, Sentinel, COSMO- SkyMed, and optical data EO data analysis and oceanographic and weather models Ice charts, Ice forecasts, Ice models 21

22 Benefits for the Finnish and Swedish economies Impacts Icebreakers will find the best routes through the ice with reduced fuel consumption. Estimated yearly benefits 2,3 M Euros /a Ships will save fuel and time. 2,1 3,3 M Euros /a Ports can operate more efficiently because the arrival time of the ships is more accurate. Factories will be more efficient because of the reduced stocking costs, greater customer confidence and better production efficiency. Citizens can be sure that the supermarkets (and petrol stations and pharmacies) are stocked. 5,8 9,4 M Euros /a 6,3 63 M Euros /a 3,5 17,5 M Euros /a 22

23 Finland and Sweden together will get between 24 and 116 Million Euros of economic benefit each year 70 Benefit Million Euros yearly Icebreakers Ships Ports Factories Citizens Minimum Maximum 23

54 Ozone Finnish Meteorological Institute EOS Aura ESA Envisat Odin Sodankylä 54

55 NASA s Aura mission and the OMI instrument The OMI instrument onboard of the NASA Aura mission records total ozone and other atmospheric parameters related to ozone chemistry and climate. The OMI instrument can distinguish between aerosol types, such as smoke, dust, and sulfates, and measures cloud pressure and coverage, which provides data to derive tropospheric ozone. The OMI instrument employs hyperspectral imaging in a push-broom mode to observe solar backscatter radiation in the visible and ultraviolet. The OMI instrument is a contribution of the Netherlands's Agency for Aerospace Programs (NIVR) in collaboration with the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) to the NASA Aura mission. The Aura spacecraft was launched on July 15, 2004 aboard a Delta II launcher. Sources: ions.html and 55

56 Products and services for citizens OMI monitors the recovery of the ozone layer in response to the phase out of chemicals, and produces maps of total O3 column amounts, images of UV Index and daily dose of UV radiation. OMI measures also NO2, SO2, and aerosols. 56

57 ESA Envisat satellite is an atmospheric-chemistry instrument as a part of the payload of Envisat. GOMOS (Global Ozone Monitoring by Occultation of Stars) operates in the ultraviolet and visible and exploits a stellar occultation concept to observe ozone and other trace species, as well as temperature and water vapor. The original GOMOS concept was proposed in the late 1980s by European scientists led by Service d Aéronomie (CNRS, F) and the Finnish Meteorological Institute. 57

58 The GOMOS observes ozone in the stratosphere and monitors trends. Products: and services: Stratospheric ozone monitoring, stratospheric chemistry, small- and large-scale dynamics in the stratosphere 58

59 Odin Odin is an aeronomy and astronomy minisatellite mission led by Sweden, with Canada, France, and Finland as partners. The Odin satellite was launched in February 2001 and has two instruments: a Canadian instrument OSIRIS (Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imager System) that measures vertical profiles of spectrally dispersed, limb scattered sunlight from the upper troposphere into the lower mesosphere, and a sub-mm radiometer for astronomy. Source: 59

60 The Odin mission objectives are atmospheric research and astronomy Observation of stratospheric ozone chemistry, mesospheric ozone science, summer mesospheric science, coupling of atmospheric regions. 60

61 Discussion? What is needed if Estonian organizations will use the above Finnish case of ozone and atmospheric research as an example of international co-operation? 61

62 The Earth Observation Envelope Programme - EOEP The EOEP programme develops new sensors and missions in the field of Earth Observation. Both basic science and European technology developments are served by the Earth Explorer missions. The EOEP also backs preparatory studies for future operational missions, including future EUMETSAT missions as well as new missions for environmental monitoring. 62

63 The EOEP elements The Earth Explorer component the development and launch of new types of Earth observing spacecraft The Development and Exploitation component. preparatory studies for future scientific and operational missions The Data User Element (DUE) developing EO based products and services responding to real user needs. 63

64 Services of the Data User Element are responding to real user needs The definition, implementation, integration, validation and qualification of the DUE products and services will be carried out in close collaboration with end-user organisations, and in agreement with their standards and practices. The DUE mission is to favor the establishment of a longterm relationship between the User communities and Earth Observation. 64

69 GlobSnow - Global Snow Monitoring for Climate Research Finnish Meteorological Institute as prime contractor and Finnish Environmental Institute as one of the subcontractors. The project aims at creating a global database of snow parameters and at demonstrating an operational near-real time snow information service. Information on snow water equivalent and areal snow extent will be provided. The database and the demonstrated snow service will be based on data acquired from active and passive, optical and microwave-based spaceborne sensors combined with ground-based weather station observations. 69

70 Improving the uptake of MERIS for coastal water monitoring The project uses ESA's MERIS instrument for applications in coastal water monitoring. 70

71 CostColor - Improving the uptake of MERIS for coastal water monitoring Brockmann Consult Gmbh, Germany as prime contractor. Finnish Environmental Institute as one of the subcontractors. The project aims at improving user uptake of ESA's MERIS mission for applications in coastal waters by developing, demonstrating and validating the latest advanced techniques for retrieving information on water constituents across a range of globally distributed test sites. 71

72 Carbon Treaty Enforcement Services Using Earth Observation The project defined and developed prototype products supporting the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol related to terrestrial carbon. 72

73 TESEO - CARBON Treaty Enforcement Services Using Earth Observation VTT Technical Research Centre as prime contractor. The European Forest Institute as one of the subcontractors. The objective of the project was to define and develop prototype products supporting the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol related to terrestrial carbon. The project identified the national reporting and the documentation of the forestation projects as the two main areas where EO can support, and demonstrated how this can be done. It concluded that EO data may be the only reasonable way to derive an estimate of national carbon storage for the protocol's reference year 1990, as well as to monitor changes in biomass and land cover at continental to global scales. 73

74 The Earth Explorer Missions The Explorer component involves the definition, development, launch and operations of new types of Earth observing spacecraft, aimed at responding to the requirements of the scientific community through new sensing technology. 74

75 The Explorers are developed in close consultation with the Earth sciences community. The mission candidates are found out through a mechanism involving a competitive call for ideas. The scientific peer review process is carried out by ESA's Earth Science Advisory Committee (ESAC) and a down-selection is approved by the Earth Observation Programme Board (PB-EO). 75

76 The role of the Mission Advisory Groups is to give ESA advice on the detailed scientific objectives of a mission, data product definitions, instrument design and calibration, data validation and data exploitation. New calls for group membership are announced on the ESA web page. The website allows scientists to register and apply for membership of an Earth Explorer or a Sentinel Mission Advisory Group. 76

77 ESA s data policy and access rights There is full and open access to the free datasets, free of charge, assuming that the access is provided online. The free dataset include the ERS and Envisat missions (in particular related to atmospheric chemistry, altimetry, ATSR, MERIS, and a subset of the SAR data) and the Earth Explorer missions. The restrained datasets include the SAR data from the ERS and Envisat missions and requests for datasets of very large volume from the ERS, Envisat and Earth Explorer missions. Also the Copernicus programme provides users with free, full and open access to Sentinel data. Read more at 77

78 Conclusions for Estonia 1 The DUE element of EOEP offers Estonian public sector players good opportunities for product and service development. 2 Organizations can participate in the scientific work as well as in demonstrating new services. 3 Networking with Estonian researchers, European EO community and ESA (e.g. by participating in the Mission Advisory groups) will be important. 78

79 Discussion 1 If you have already experience about the EOEP programme, what advise would you like to give to the other seminar participants? 2 How to improve the utilization of the possibilities that the Data User element of EOEP is offering to you? 79

80 5 Navigation and the Galileo programme Introduction: 80

81 The Galileo Programme will develop an independent, global, European-controlled, satellite-based navigation system, which will provide users with a number of guaranteed services. European independence is the main reason for the programme. 81

82 The socio-economic impact of the Galileo programme Satellite positioning has already become the standard means of navigating. Many utility networks are also dependent on the precise time synchronization provided by the satellite navigation systems. The EC estimates that 6-7% of European GDP is already dependent on satellite navigation. The overall economic impact of Galileo is estimated to be 90 billion over the next 20 years 82

83 The need for the Galileo programme The system will be under civilian control and will provide a number of guaranteed services to users. The overall number of satellites available for positioning will be doubled leading to an improved accuracy. By using satellites at high inclination orbits, Galileo will achieve a better coverage at high latitudes. Receiver manufacturers, and application and service providers will benefit from new business opportunities. 83

85 Galileo navigation services The Open Service The Safety-of- Life Service The Commercial Service The Public Regulated Service (PRS) The Search and Rescue service a combination of free and open signals, and provides position accuracy and timing performance comparable with other navigation systems. improves the open service performance by providing the users with timely warnings when the systems fails to meet certain margins of accuracy (integrity). gives access to two additional signals, which will allow a higher data throughput rate and improve accuracy. These signals are encrypted. provides a controlled access to position and timing service to users requiring a high continuity of service. Two PRS navigation signals use encrypted codes and data. The Galileo support to the international COSPAS-SARSAT humanitarian Search and Rescue activities. 85

86 The PRS is designed to resist jamming, involuntary interference and spoofing PRS ensures continuity of service to authorised users and increases the likelihood of continuous availability of the Signal-in- Space. Provides an authenticated position - velocity - timing service. Each PRS Member State will nominate a Competent PRS Authority responsible for managing and supervising users. 86

87 The PRS can support Police, coastguard, border control, customs Critical Infrastructures and monitoring systems Civil protection units working in crisis situations Governmental transport and tracking of dangerous goods Peace-keeping forces and defence. Image: Copyright Tekes; Anton Kalland. 87

88 Case: Always Green Traffic Signals for Emergency Vehicles 88

89 Traffic signal priorities for emergency vehicles are a highly desirable function. A heart attack patient or a building on fire needs to be reached quickly in order for the action to be successful. Image: Copyright Tekes. 89

90 Emergency vehicles are always a surprise to other traffic and accidents are severe Image: Copyright Tekes; Anton Kalland. In Finland, emergency vehicles have about 20 accidents per year in traffic signal controlled intersections. Almost always the emergency vehicle had a red light. Accident costs per year are more than euros. 90

91 Watch a demonstration video on 91

92 Fully automatic pre-emption solution with generic technologies Vehicle devices: In-vehicle computer sends position and controls data to a server. The device is a 3G/4G modem with a satellite navigator, a user display, a connection to the vehicle data bus and an antenna. The pre-emption is turned on while emergency lights are on and stopped by turning the pre-emption or the emergency lights off or using hand brake or park gear. The server software: The server software receives the data and makes smart decisions to start and stop priorities on the probable route of the vehicle. The next intersections are forecasted to get a fluent green traffic signal. Intersections at crossing streets are forecasted by the use of a turn signal. The server sends on and off commands to programmable I/O logics at traffic signal controller cabinets. 92

93 The biggest risks are service interruptions of wireless communications and satellite positioning. The positioning data needs to be accurate at all times, and any interference, jamming or spoofing could prevent the pre-emption. The Galileo PRS will be very useful. In addition, the PRS security functions would make the positioning interface more secure. Congested streets and city centers with tall buildings can be risks, too. 93

94 Benefits Safety for all Help gets faster Cost-effective: According to an impact evaluation, the system will pay itself back in less than a year. Image: Copyright Tekes; Anton Kalland. 94

95 Implementation status In 2015, the system covered two regions in the Northern Finland with 300 intersections and 200 vehicles. In the next few years at least seven cities in Finland are planning to implement the system. In addition, Finnish fire chiefs have stated that the system is a wanted feature all over in Finland. In addition to fire trucks and ambulances, a national pilot for the Police has been carried out in Oulu. 95

96 Contacts The project has been carried out by a consortium of three authorities: the City of Oulu, Oulu-Koillismaa Department for Rescue Services and the Northern Ostrobothnia Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment. Public authorities own and share the product. More than 30 organizations have taken part in the project: 11 cities or municipalities, one provincial road authority, and 9 emergency authorities as well as private companies. Take contact with Mr. Jukka Talvi (jukka.talvi@ouka.fi) of City of Oulu and read the article 96
