A view of the

Space Research Programme

Protection of European assets in and from

Space

2014-2015

FP7 / SPACE

Current situation Europe

• EU: funding of space weather research since 2008 To date 19 projects – 34.5 M€ EU FP7 funding from the space

theme Additional funding from research infrastructures and Galileo JRC: impact of space weather on critical infrastructures

• ESA: activities in the SSA preparatory programme and other programmes Studies and preparation of SW pre-cursor services

• Increased awareness amongst owners and operators of infrastructures affected by space weather (grids, telecom…)

• Today, EU-wide operational services in the pipeline

Space Weather

Account should be taken of complementary efforts currently in progress (UN Action Team 14, ESA’s SSA and other national programmes, e.g. US, RU, Japan, China).

Physical characterization & modelling (thermal properties, Yarkovsky drift, structure, reaction to impactor…)

Investigate feasible mitigation techniques

Mitigation test mission

Access technologies and characterisation for Near Earth Objects:

8 M€ Focus on international aspects

• Exploratory work studying new ideas for data analysis and modelling of space weather with a view to enhancing the performance of space weather prediction

Participation of the EU Satcen in the Space Surveillance and Tracking Service Function

Objectives • contribute to the identification of the necessary functional

elements of the SST service delivery function. • assess the type of data and interfaces which could be made

available to the various users • contribute to the design of the SST at European level but also

propose improvements which could be undertaken among the SST users.

Other actions 2014

Passive means to reduce the impact of Space Debris

To develop and test concepts and technologies needed for • safe de-orbiting and disposal of space objects • planned end-of-life de-orbiting or safe disposal of new satellites

and launch vehicle’s upper stages • non-technical issues including legal issues should be considered.
