New & improved EUSST Missions and Services. Horizon Europe TOP1

Project description

Advancing EUSST missions and services

The reinvigorated space industry has seen increasing interest, innovations, and solutions in recent years. Industries like telecommunications are becoming more reliant on it, and various scientific fields are benefiting greatly from novel developments and technologies within the space industry. The European Union Space Surveillance and Tracking (EUSST) initiative aims to enhance our capabilities in tracking, maintaining, and situational awareness of in-orbit activities. The EU-funded HE_EUSST_MS_TOP1 project aims to advance cutting-edge European space surveillance and tracking technologies and services. It will support the development and demonstration of new technologies, prepare innovative operational concepts, enhance the efficiency, performance, and quality of EUSST services, and strive for European excellence in this critical field.

Objective

This Horizon Europe grant is to be understood within a wider context on EUSST, where other grants are being executed simultaneously with the common objective of improving the EU autonomy on Space Surveillance and Tracking.
In particular, this TOP focuses on:
- Keep the knowledge and capabilities of Europe on the Space Surveillance and Tracking domain at the leading edge.
- Adapt, improve and evolve the current EUSST initial services (Collision Avoidance; Fragmentation; Re-entry) portfolio to future user needs and space environment.
- Improve the overall performance of the EUSST services and ensure, in the long-term, a high level of performance and appropriate autonomy at Union level.
- Identify and define new missions and services (e.g. debris mitigation; debris remediation).
- Explore the implementation of new services, in complement of the three existing ones.
- Support the pre-developments and end-to-end early demonstration of new SST services.
The starting point of these activities is the output of 2-3SST2018-20, which constitutes the state of the art on SST matters.
