SST Networking, Security & Data sharing. Horizon Europe TOP5

Project description

Boosting EU Space Surveillance and Tracking networking, security and data sharing services

EU Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) is a collaborative network of national space assets operated by EU Member States and coordinated at EU level, with processing capabilities to provide services in cooperation with EUSPA to satellite owners/operators, public authorities and other entities. The EU-funded HE23-24 TOP5 project will continue to preserve and enhance its networking, security and data sharing services to accommodate an ever-growing user community. This involves increasing security and resilience at operations centres and keeping them up to date with new missions and services. Other objectives include coordinating efficient scheduling of resources, boosting data storage and sharing capabilities, formulating new data sharing and integration strategies for both ground- and space-based assets, and safeguarding the EU SST infrastructure.

Objective

SST Networking, Security & Data sharing

The HE_EUSST_SD_TOP5 project address the following actions defined in the Horizon Europe Work Program 2023-2024
• Update operation centres to improved current services (Collision Avoidance; Fragmentation; Re-entry) adapted to future user needs and space environment.
• Update operation centres to new missions and services (e.g. debris mitigation; debris remediation).
• Adapt the European SST network to a more efficient coordinated scheduling and tasking of the resources and assets.
• Develop new data sharing and fusion strategies and techniques adapted to both ground-based and space-based SST assets.
• Develop threat analysis and counter-measures to protect the EUSST infrastructure.
• Adapt EUSST operation centres for increasing security and resiliency.
Coordinated under the umbrella of the Expert Team System Evolution (ETSE) and in close cooperation with the other Expert Teams, the project constitutes of the following activities:
- R&D activities related to the EU SST Catalogue, covering for example covariance realism and improved orbit determination
- Improvements to the storage and sharing of SST and sensor data in the EU SST Database
- Further development of the EU SST scheduler COPLA, including better integration into other system components
