ARTES 4S Strategic Programme Line ("Space systems for Safety and Security") has been created at the last Space 19+ ESA council held at Ministerial level. The aim was to cope with the need of specific efforts towards next generation secure SATCOM solutions designed to serve governmental needs and support critical infrastructures and applications.
The design for a series of telecommunications satellites that can be completely repurposed after launch has just been completed.
The standardised OneSat satellites for the highly...
The ESAIL microsatellite for making the seas safer has picked up more than two million messages from 70 000 ships in a single day.
The reliable high-performance satellite was...

Reflector antennas are by far the most used technology for telecom satellite and ground station antennas. TICRA, a leading provider of cutting-edge reflector antenna modelling...
For the first time ever, a telecommunications satellite has used an iodine propellant to change its orbit around Earth.
The small but potentially disruptive innovation could help...
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are planning a spacewalk to install a high-speed satellite link that will improve their connections with Europe.
The system will...
5G-GOA develops and implements the necessary modifications in the 5G New Radio standard to enable the direct radio access of terrestrial communication networks via satellite, a 5G RAN via satellite closely following the 3GPP Work Item on Non-Terrestrial-Networks. The hardware and software development relies on and uses existing technologies,...
Composite overwrapped pressure vessels used for propellant tanks tend to survive a typical atmospheric re-entry scenario from low earth orbit, thus posing a considerable ground impact risk. Switching to aluminum liners alone is not sufficient since the endlessly wound carbon fibers retain their full strength to above 2000°C and tend to form a...
ANChOR aims to design and develop an orchestration platform enhanced with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques for the real-time optimization of 5G infrastructures integrating satellite networks. ANChOR targets use cases with network slices for eMBB and mMTC/IoT services, validated through Over-the-Air tests for GEO backhauling...
