Periodic Reporting for period 2 - 3SST2015 (Third funding line in 2015 for the establishment of a European SST service provision function)

Periodo di rendicontazione: 2016-10-01 al 2017-12-31

Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto

The issues being addressed by 3SST2015 project is to identify and prioritise sensors (radars, telescopes and laser stations) controlled by the SST Consortium MS which need to be either updated or renewed in order to improve the overall performance of the SST Support Framework. This activity will result in an action plan, where scope and priorities will be defined, including research and innovation actions with the aim to investigate new technology in order to upgrade and develop new assets forming the future SST Support Framework system.
3SST2015 specifically aims at the definition of an action plan (including scope, priorities and R&D activities) and both the implementation of upgrades on sensors and the planning for the development of new sensors with the goal of delivering improved SST standardised services for users specified in the EU SST framework Decision 541-2014.
It is expected, that the different operational setups within the MS will foster a process of “comparing and learning from each other” which will not only have an impact on reconfiguration of national assets but will also have to be mirrored towards international partners and cooperation. The final goal is the increase of the service quality in terms of awareness about risk of collision in space fragmentation and space object risky re-entry on ground.

Lavoro eseguito dall’inizio del progetto fino alla fine del periodo coperto dalla relazione e principali risultati finora ottenuti

Definition and analysis of the initial EU SST architecture and possible future EU SST architectures, having as main output the trade-off between possible options considered and the selection of the most suitable one for the EU SST capabilities.
Identification of a priority set of National sensors (RADAR, TELESCOPES and LASER RANGING) for their initial upgrade.

Progressi oltre lo stato dell’arte e potenziale impatto previsto (incluso l’impatto socioeconomico e le implicazioni sociali più ampie del progetto fino ad ora)

Actual progress is fostering a process of “comparing and learning from each other” in order to optimise the impact on reconfiguration of national assets which are going to develope a common and coordinate european effort in terms of space surveillance and tracking with a view towards cooperation with international partners.
