ESA will join the UK Space Agency and UK space industry at Farnborough International Airshow 2018 in the exhibition area in the Space Zone in Hall 1 & on 17th of July for Media Interactive Talks.
The Workshop will bring together major space and non-space stakeholders from the energy, advanced material, biomedical and space domains, to discuss potential cooperative initiatives.
The 39th ESA Antenna Workshop will provide an overview on recent and on-going antenna systems and technologies developments for Satellite Applications with particular focus on Multibeam and Reconfigurable Antennas and covering both Space and...
ESA, CNES, EDA and the DGA are jointly organising the workshop to promote and facilitate information exchange on wide bandgap technologies for microwave, power switching, sensor and other emerging space/defence applications.
28 Jan - 1 Feb 2019, ESTEC, Noordwijk (The Netherlands)
This is a unique opportunity to gain an overview of all the recently completed activities and to discuss them with colleagues from both ESA and industry across the satellite telecommunications sector.
25-27 Feb, 2019, ESTEC, Noordwijk (The Netherlands)
Co-organised by ESA, CNES and DLR, the workshop will create a space for presentations on past, current and future topics and organise round-tables regarding the future development of on-board data processing.
The “Large Xenon Tank Assembly” (L-XTA) is high-performance, cost-competitive COPV for storage of Xenon for hybrid or full-electric satellite propulsion systems.
To cover the volume range of 300-900 l, two dedicated “tank families” were established, each with a common diameter. Tank qualification is currently in progress and introduction to the first satellite applications is in 2019, beginning with the Electra and Neosat missions.
As payloads become more complex, the number of RF paths to test during AIT and IOT explodes. JAMES Project divided test duration by more than 3, using fast RF measurements, improved parallel TM/TC processing, and faster dialogue protocols.
On top of these achievements, the CCN3 has explored ad validated an RF-optical-RF interface module with multiplexing capability of 2 channels.
A Ka band feed chain, especially designed for user applications is developed. Dimensions and mass shall be minimised to enable an increased number of feed chains per satellite in order to realise higher data rates.
The objective of this project is the assessment of satellite networks technology evolutions that can mitigate the effect of satellite latency on the user quality of experience, so that satellite networks can be integrated more seamlessly within the 5G ecosystem.
Through its activities, ALIX supports the satellite communication community to engage with 3GPP in order to develop contributions and advocate positions favourable to the SatCom sector within the 3GPP standardisation process such that they result in tangible industrial opportunities.
The project gathers organisations from the satellite communication community each holding key positions in 3GPP as contributors, rapporteurs of study items or chairmanship of Working Group.
