Objective The strategic importance of space systems is growing in Europe, for civil and defence applications (satellite communications, ..). Recent examples have shown that on-orbit collisions brought on by space debris are important threats. On one hand, some space debris are routinely tracked, making the collisions predictable, but they increase the cost of space missions’ management. On the other hand, most debris are untracked because they are too small, making prediction impossible. The way to reduce vulnerability is then to reduce severity of collision and probability of occurrence. The proposed P²-ROTECT project aims to assess the risks associated with collisions and recommend possible solutions such as better prediction, protection or action on debris environment to reduce vulnerability of missions. But it is mandatory to elaborate a vulnerability index which quantifies the efficiency of solutions with respect to trackable and untrackable debris effects and provides access to sensitive terms of collision probability or severity. Furthermore, trade-offs are made between efficiency and cost to propose new design options for space infrastructures. In order to work with concrete examples depending on orbit types, three missions of interest for EU are analysed: Sentinel-I in Low Earth Orbit, GALILEO constellation in Medium Earth Orbit and MTG, the weather observation constellation in Geostationary Orbit. The Consortium includes well-known partners capable of analysing space missions at all levels (S/C component, mission) and able to provide innovative solutions for risk reduction.The P²-ROTECT objective and methodology match with the objectives of Activity “Security of space assets from on-orbit collisions”. Concerning the complementarities with the ESA SSA proposal, the propositions are clearly oriented towards low-cost solutions to contribute to space surveillance and improvement of collision prediction methods, while raising situational awareness on a European level Fields of science engineering and technologymechanical engineeringvehicle engineeringaerospace engineeringsatellite technology Programme(s) FP7-SPACE - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Space Topic(s) SPA.2010.2.3-2 - Security of space assets from on-orbit collisions Call for proposal FP7-SPACE-2010-1 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP - Collaborative project (generic) Coordinator OFFICE NATIONAL D'ETUDES ET DE RECHERCHES AEROSPATIALES Address Chemin de la huniere 91120 Palaiseau France See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Essonne Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Vincent Brochier (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution No data Participants (6) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all OHB SYSTEM AG Germany EU contribution € 335 961,00 Address Universitatsallee 27-29 28359 Bremen See on map Region Bremen Bremen Bremen, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Rolf Janovsky (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data THALES ALENIA SPACE ITALIA SPA Italy EU contribution € 262 536,00 Address Via saccomuro 24 00131 Roma See on map Region Centro (IT) Lazio Roma Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Enrico Gaia (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data FRAUNHOFER GESELLSCHAFT ZUR FORDERUNG DER ANGEWANDTEN FORSCHUNG EV Germany EU contribution € 336 470,00 Address Hansastrasse 27c 80686 Munchen See on map Region Bayern Oberbayern München, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Maximilian Steiert (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data TURKIYE BILIMSEL VE TEKNOLOJIK ARASTIRMA KURUMU Türkiye EU contribution € 132 300,00 Address Ataturk bulvari 221 06100 Ankara See on map Region Batı Anadolu Ankara Ankara Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Egemen Imre (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITAET BRAUNSCHWEIG Germany EU contribution € 85 111,00 Address Universitaetsplatz 2 38106 Braunschweig See on map Region Niedersachsen Braunschweig Braunschweig, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Peter Vörsmann (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data TELINT RTD Consultancy Services LTD United Kingdom EU contribution € 47 400,00 Address Westferry circus 1 2nd floor canary wharf E14 4HD London See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Effie Makri (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data
