Descripción del proyecto
Estudio detallado de las arquitecturas satelitales distribuidas
Los sistemas satelitales están evolucionando rápidamente de ser en su mayoría grandes plataformas diseñadas para aplicaciones específicas a ser una red de nodos espaciales en órbita de diversos tamaños y capacidades. Anticipándose a las próximas tendencias de misiones impulsadas por el comercio y siguiendo el espíritu del Nuevo Espacio, el equipo del proyecto HARMONY de las Acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie sostiene que se liberará potencial para un cambio radical con la adopción de arquitecturas satelitales distribuidas en una serie de casos de uso en los que el entorno espacial proporciona beneficios únicos. En este contexto, en HARMONY se analizarán los desafíos técnicos que plantea este cambio de paradigma arquitectónico.
Objetivo
Major developments in small satellite technologies coupled with the rapid commercialisation of New Space are disrupting the space landscape. A driving role rests with the telecommunication vertical, where market demands for global connectivity led to the emergence of LEO and MEO mega-constellation and are accelerating efforts for the integration of non-terrestrial with terrestrial networks. Core to this vision is an architectural paradigm shift from large monolithic satellites to an orchestrated network of multi-orbit spaceborne nodes of various sizes and capabilities. On the other hand, space missions traditionally dominated by governmental initiatives - such as Navigation (GNSS) and Earth observation (EO) - are slower in adopting the New Space spirit towards coordination and synergetic exploitation of emerging and established satellite systems. Yet these systems have had transformative impact on our daily lives along a plethora of applications and verticals. Anticipating the next New Space frontiers in commercially driven missions within these domains, a central view of HARMONY is that step change potential will be released by adopting distributed satellite architectures across a range of existing and new applications where the space environment provides unique benefits. Placing innovative space services at its core, HARMONY will adopt a cross-disciplinary & vertically integrated approach in the study of federated and fractionated satellite system architectures and the development of core underpinning technologies in a doctoral network that will nurture future European New Space leaders.
