2 2017 call topics Competitiveness of the European Sector Technology and Science Deadline: 1 March 2017 Image Credits: ESA

3 3 COMPET Technologies for European non-dependence and competitiveness Activities shall address technologies identified on the Joint EC-ESA- EDA Task Force list of Actions * U09 Cost effective multi - junction solar cells for space applications. U16 qualified GaN components and demonstrators. U17 High density (up to 1000 pins and beyond) assemblies on PCB and PCBs. U21 Very high speed serial interfaces. U23 Development of large deployable structures for antennas. U26 qualified carbon fibre and pre-impregnated material sources for launchers and satellite subsystems. Technology transfer with non-space Proposals should address commercial opportunities => ensure sustainability of supply chains! Address how to access the commercial markets Recommended project size 2 to 5 M 15 M Research and Innovation action Participation of industry, including SMEs, is encouraged Foster links between academia and industry; technology transfer * Consult guidance documents in the Commission s website

4 4 COMPET Competitiveness in Earth observation mission technologies The aim of this topic is to demonstrate, in a relevant environment, technologies, systems and sub-systems for Earth observation missions. Proposals should address and demonstrate significant improvements in such areas as miniaturisation, power reduction, efficiency, versatility, and/or increased functionality and should demonstrate complementarity to activities already funded by Member States and the European Agency. Emerging market for innovative missions relying on small and very small systems (constellations, formation flying and fractionated instruments) Significant improvements compared to existing state-of-the-art Recommended project size 2 to 3 M 7 M Research and Innovation action Participation of industry, including SMEs, is encouraged Foster links between academia and industry; technology transfer

5 5 COMPET High speed data chain Activities shall aim at providing advanced on-board data handling and transfer for Earth observation and Telecommunication systems, and its management and exploitation in mission ground segment. These activities shall address the future challenge of high data rates transmission and significant improvements in data throughput. On-board data processing, compression, storage Inter-satellite links; different orbits (beyond EDRS) Ground segment solution to handle higher data rates Link between innovative ground segment architectures and Near-real time (NRT) and Quasi-real time (QRT) data Support to standardisation Recommended project size 5 to 7 M (Full data chain or coherent part of it ) 2 to 3 M (NRT/QRT) 10 M Research and Innovation action Participation of industry, including SMEs, is encouraged Foster links between academia and industry

6 6 COMPET Recommended project size Scientific data exploitation Support the data exploitation of European missions and instruments, of all acquired and available data provided by space missions in their operative, post-operative or data exploitation phase focusing on astrophysics (including exoplanets), heliophysics and the Solar System exploration, including the Moon. Correlation and combination of data delivered by European space missions, international missions and ground-based observations Activities shall add scientific value through analysis of the data, leading to scientific publications and higher level data products Enhance and broaden international research partnerships 1.5 M 6 M Research and Innovation action International cooperation is encouraged

7 7 COMPET Recommended project size Weather Exploratory work studying space weather with a view to enhancing the understanding of space weather and its impact. Proposals can cover the full range of space weather phenomena from the solar cycle, flares and coronal mass ejections to the effects of the solar wind in the near-earth environment and the evolution in between. This activity shall address space weather and its effects, impacts and mitigation techniques with application to aerospace and ground systems. 1 to 1.5 M 3 M Research and Innovation action International cooperation is encouraged Analysis of new viable impact mitigation strategies and demonstrate how these add value compared to existing mitigation strategies

8 8 COMPET Recommended project size portal One-stop-shop user-friendly and visually appealing knowledge oriented project (single space web portal) for space research in Europe: archive and outreach tool. The call has two main incremental goals: 1. Implementation of an effective space web portal for Europe, able to point to relevant resources as required and depending on the type of queries. 2. Provide a repository of all relevant information regarding FP6, FP7, Horizon 2020 funded space projects (including public deliverables, data, software tools where possible). Complementary to activities of NCP networks Present a realistic plan for sustained operation of the portal after the end of the EU-funded project 0.5 M 0.5 M Coordination and support action

9 9 COMPET Reccomended project size Technology transfer and business generators Contribute to access public funding opportunities, such as the SME instrument of the European Union, as well as potentially other funding opportunities from Member States, ESA and regional authorities. This activity will not support the establishment of additional BICs, but should assist entrepreneurs and other innovation agents overcoming financial, administrative and networking barriers to innovation. Provide additional support to entrepreneurs in technology transfer and commercial exploitation, access to finance and networking Encourage take up of applications of space data and services developed in the context of EGNSS and Copernicus Complementarity to initiatives of ESA BICs and the EEN 2 M 2 M Coordination and support action

10 10 WP 2017 Other Actions : 11 - Horizon prize for low cost access to space Affordable, sustainable and innovative design-to-cost European solution of launch systems dedicated to the deployment of nano- and micro-satellites in LEO orbit, with a launcher performance of payloads up to 500 kg. The aim is to improve cost-effectiveness and launch flexibility. The launch system should become operational as soon as possible and be economically viable when considering mid-term (i.e. the year 2025) commercial nano- and micro-satellite launch market predictions. The prize will be awarded, after closure of the contest, to a solution that best addresses the following cumulative award criteria: Technical achievements (prototype demonstrated in an operational environment) Economic viability (business plan for sustained operations)
