These activities do not have to be directly related to the exploitation of Artemis satellite. The nature of these activities is left for the bidder to define and propose.
Equipped with a suite of advanced communication payloads, ESA's Artemis satellite has scored a long series of satcom firsts and precursors to new ESA programmes like the European Data Relay System. Artemis created the first laser data link between satellites in different orbits. It was the first telecom satellite to be extensively reprogrammed in orbit, and it was the first to power its way to geostationary orbit with ion thrusters after surviving the long drift to its destination.
