Project description
Charting a path to enhanced European space capabilities
With the growing reliance on space technology, ensuring the safety and sovereignty of assets in orbit has become a pressing concern. With this in mind, the Horizon Europe grant catalyses a transformative initiative within the EU Space Surveillance and Tracking (EU SST) framework. The EU-funded HE_EUSST_SB_TOP3 project, the first of its kind, is poised to address these challenges by exploring technical solutions. Additionally, it is harnessing small satellites and reducing dependence on external technologies, ultimately strengthening Europe's autonomy in space surveillance and tracking. The project marks the initial foray into Space-Based Space Surveillance within the EU SST framework, charting a path to enhance European space capabilities and fortify self-reliance in space tracking technology.
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:
- Study and assess several technical solutions for the development of a future European capability of SBSS.
- Explore the use of small satellite solutions to reduce CAPEX and OPEX
- To develop in the mid-term the European capacity to operate independently SBSS.
- To reduce the dependence on critical SBSS technologies and capabilities from outside Europe,
The is the first activity related to SBSS within EUSST.
