1 Workshop on ARTES 11 The Austrian Involvement 29 June 2006

2 ARTES FFG ALR Goals The very good results of the last Council meeting at Ministerial level reflect the importance that Austria gives to the hightechnological space field in our country. The financial background behind ARTES in terms of subscription should mainly: Assure the sustainability of the Austrian Space Players Improve their competitiveness on the ESA and on the commercial market LTAs, Supplier chain Seite 2

3 Why ARTES 11? Support further development of the activities in the field of Telecom ARTES 11 will allow our industry and research centres to offer high-level solutions for the on-board segment as well as for the ground segment Increase the technological competencies in the niche markets where our industry is represented (incl. downstream). Seite 3

4 ARTES 11 Financial Aspect Taking into account our subscription at the MC 2005 in Berlin and our actual to be allocated status, a considerable increase in our participation in ARTES-11 could be envisaged in order to: Support the Austrian industries and research centres in offering innovative contributions to this programme on the one hand and cost-effective recurring figure on the other hand. Based on sustainable business plans Seite 4

5 Austrian Aerospace Potential Contributions As Equipment Supplier to the Commercial Telecom Market On-board DSP such as Data Handling Interface Electronics with the use of mixed digital-analog ASIC (HP, Aeolus, Pleiades, Galileosat) On-board Mechanism such as EPPM (Artemis, Eurostar, Alphabus) Multi Layer Insulation (most ESA missions) Seite 5

7 ARC Seibersdorf research EP Development µn Field Emission Electric Propulsion system (FEEP) Modular nature of the FEEP system allows assembly of several thrusters to accommodate a broad range of thrust requirements (e.g LISA Pathfinder) at constant, high specific impulse. The single FEEP has reached TRL 9, the modular system is in the qualification phase mn FEEP Thruster Transition from µn range to the mn range by exploiting new manufacturing technologies. The development of these systems is ongoing and reached TRL 2-3. Thrust range: µn mn Specific Impulse: 8000 s High thrust accuracy and reliability Development of µpulsed Plasma Thruster Systemen (µppt) PPTs combine accurate thrust control ability with reliability and low power consumption. PPTs are flight proven systems. The µppt system of ARC-sr is in the development phase and expected to reach TRL 4 in 2007 Seite 7 Impulse bit: µns range Specific Impulse: s High thrust accuracy and reliability
