Az ESA és az NGM 2024. novemberében szakmai, „Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems” (ARTES) workshopot tartott Budapesten. Az ESA a workshopon tapasztaltak alapján, felismerve a magyar vállalatokban rejlő potenciált pályázatot hirdet az ARTES program keretében, melyre kizárólag magyar szereplők jelentkezhetnek. A pályázat célja a magyar kommunikációs műhold képességek kiépítése, fejlesztése, és a magyar ipar versenyképességének megerősítése az európai és a globális piacon.

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the programmatic impact - at minima cost, planning, manpower, risk - of introducing new sustainability requirements, including LCA delivery and ecodesign, on both the Agency and its suppliers. In the framework ofthe present activity the sub-objectives are to:

• Get a comprehensive understanding of programmatic qualitative and quantitative cost impacts and visibility on challenges for internal and external stakeholders
• Provide a defined, concise, and reusable data set from desk research and analysis that constitute the source of the results of this study 
• Get an assessment of overall programmatic (cost, risk and schedule) implications led by the implementation of sustainability requirements for specific Life Cycle Phases [RD7].

This activity aims to consolidate the last years of research in the field into a practical method for European industry and to provide guidance on when testing (i.e. subject a spacecraft equipment or material sample to hyper velocity impacts to assess the failure mechanism and likelihood rather than extrapolating from known cases) is required, to fulfil the now mandatory requirements on computing hyper velocity impact risk in orbit, i.e. the probability of losing disposal capability and break-up of the spacecraft.

This ‘Space for Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture’ opportunity offers funding to European teams interested in developing services integrating technology solutions to the smart cities and urban agricultural sector. The European Space Agency (ESA) will provide funding for six-month feasibility studies known as ‘Kick-Starts’, which can lead to larger-scale projects and pilots. Kick-Starts are funded at 75% by ESA, up to a maximum of €75K per contract. Proposed services must use satellite data or space-based technologies. Specific eligibility criteria apply.

ESA offers funding for European teams to develop space-based services supporting environmental claims. €75K available for 6-month feasibility studies. Deadline: March 14, 2025. Combat greenwashing with satellite tech.

The objective of this activity is to design and develop a simulation testbed for secure delivery of assistance data with 5G satellite networks to enhance positioning.The target is to foster the use of 5G satellite networks to enhance positioning with ubiquitous, reliable, and secure delivery of assistance data. Enable secure time and frequency synchronisation in existing or future telecommunication infrastructure. Various positioning use cases, such as high-accuracy or integrity, rely on receiving assistance data to enhance the positioning performance beyond what can be obtained by using messages broadcast by the global navigation satellite system (GNSS).
 

The European Space Agency (ESA) is seeking proposals for innovative projects that leverage space technologies to enhance digital infrastructure. Focus areas include secure communications, GNSS timing services, and satellite Earth observation to improve network resilience and efficiency.

The European Space Agency's Space4Rail initiative is offering funding to develop space-based solutions that enhance rail operations. The program aims to improve rail efficiency, safety, and sustainability through satellite technology and innovative digital tools.
