Project description
Providing world-class EU Space Surveillance and Tracking missions and services
EU Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) is a European system that watches satellites and space debris to prevent collisions and keep space safe. In this context, the EU-funded HE23-24 TOP1 project will continue to strive for excellence in its missions and services, providing top-grade performance and quality to its growing user community. This involves maintaining expertise and competency throughout the EU SST framework to sustain EU autonomy in the SSA domain. Other objectives include expanding SST missions and services by anticipating the future needs of orbital activities, such as space debris mitigation and management, and following through with the planning, development and demonstration stages of such innovations.
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.
The specific objectives of the HE_EUSST_MS_TOP1 action have been defined considering the specific objectives defined in the Work Programme:
* 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 state of the art on the topic can be summarized as the output of the finished 2-3SST2018-20 and the 6 grants currently ongoing, in particular, EUSST2023-25 and HE TOP1 corresponding to Work Programme 21-22.
