  1. THE EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY

  2. Over 40 years of experience 20 Member States Five establishments in Europe, about 2200 staff 4 billion Euro budget (2013) Over 70 satellites designed, tested and operated in flight 17 scientific satellites in operation Six types of launcher developed Celebrated the 200th launch of Ariane in February 2011 ESA FACTS AND FIGURES

  3. ESA has 20 Member States: 18 states of the EU (AT, BE, CZ, DE, DK, ES, FI, FR, IT, GR, IE, LU, NL, PT, PL, RO, SE, UK) plus Norway and Switzerland. Eight other EU states have Cooperation Agreements with ESA: Estonia, Slovenia, Hungary, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta and the Slovak Republic. Bulgaria is negotiating a Cooperation Agreement. Canada takes part in some programmes under a Cooperation Agreement. 20 MEMBER STATES AND GROWING

  4. Space science Human spaceflight Exploration Earth observation Launchers ACTIVITIES ESA is one of the few space agencies in the world to combine responsibility in nearlyall areas of space activity. • Navigation • Telecommunications • Technology • Operations

  5. ESA’S LOCATIONS EAC (Cologne) ESTEC (Noordwijk) Salmijaervi (Kiruna) ECSAT (Harwell) ESOC (Darmstadt) Brussels ESA HQ (Paris) ESA sites/facilities Redu Toulouse Offices Oberpfaffenhofen Cebreros, Villafranca ESA ground stations ESAC (Madrid) ESRIN (Rome) Moscow Santa Maria Washington Kourou Maspalomas Houston New Norcia Perth Malargüe

  6. ESA PROGRAMMES All Member States participate (on a GNP basis) in activities related to space science and a common set of programmes (Mandatory programmes). In addition, Member States choose their level of participation in Optional programmes. Optional • Human Spaceflight • Telecommunications & Integrated Applications • Earth Observation • Launchers • Navigation • Robotic Exploration • Space Situational Awareness Mandatory • General Budget: Future studies, technological research, education, common investments (facilities, laboratories, basic infrastructure) • Science: Solar System science, astronomy and fundamental physics

  9. The Council is the governing body of ESA. It provides the basic policy guidelines for ESA’s activities. Each Member State is represented on the Council and has one vote. About every three years, Council meets at ministerial level (‘Ministerial Council’) to take key decisions on new and continuing programmes and financial commitment. The ESA Council at ministerial level also meets together with the EU Council to form the European ‘Space Council’. ESA COUNCIL

  10. ESA’s industrial policy: ensures that Member States get a fair return on their investment; improves competitiveness of European industry; maintains and develops space technology; exploits the advantages of free competitive bidding, except where incompatible with objectives of the industrial policy. ESA’S INDUSTRIAL POLICY About 90% of ESA’s budget is spent on contracts with European industry.

  11. ESA General Support Technology Programme - GSTP The objective of ESA's General Support Technology Programme (GSTP) is to convert promising engineering concepts into a board spectrum of mature products, everything from individual components, to subsystems, up to complete satellites, and beyond. The GSTP programme is an ESA Optional programme that addresses the European space industry technology needs in the development of emerging space applications. The programme objective are the development of novel space missions and applications, support European Space industry competitiveness, foster innovation and enhance European technology non-dependence by securing the availability of European sources for critical technologies. The GSTP programme is currently organized in 4 elements and has more than 260 on going technology projects and, for 2011, around 56 finalised technology developments.

  12. ESA Technology Research Programme - TRP The objective of ESA’s Technology Research Programme (TRP) is to support all ESA programmes across all technology domains. The TRP is an essential strategic tool for the Agency to prepare future missions and develop European technology competencies. The TRP programme is an ESA Mandatory programme and aims at developing technologies for future ESA missions and maintaining key technology capabilities in European space industry. The TRP addresses the first steps of space technology innovation going up to technology readiness level (TRL) 3 or 4. The TRP encompasses classic technology developments, but also the Innovation Triangle Initiative (ITI) and the Startiger. The ITI initiative is based on a permanent call for ideas for attracting unsolicited R&D proposals for highly innovative ideas for technology spin-in and innovation. The Startiger initiative is based on periodic calls for ideas and aims at implementing a new approach for conducting R&D activities that allows a dramatic reduction of the turn-around time typical for technological developments.

  13. ESA Integrated Applications Promotion – IAP 1) The IAP and SATCOM-APPS programmes are dedicated to the evolution of customized solutions and the establishment of innovative services based on feasibility and demonstration projects as well as awareness activities. Combining different space and terrestrial systems creates capabilities that are greater than the sum of their parts. Therefore the concerted utilization of Satellite-Telecommunications, Earth Observation and Navigation, as well as Human Spaceflight technologies is pursued. The IAP programme operates via the following opportunities: • The continuously open 'Call for Proposals' • Open competitive 'Invitations To Tender (ITT)' • Dedicated 'Call for User Ideas'.

  14. ESA Integrated Applications Promotion – IAP 2) These opportunities are advertised on the IAP Portal and through ESA's electronic system EMITS (Electronic Mailing Invitation To Tender System). While this IAP Portal presents the IAP Open Call for proposals, all open competitive Invitations To Tender (ITT) and announces the Intended Invitations To Tender (IITT) to be released in a near future, the EMITS portal provides the official documentation. 'Call for User Ideas' are seen as initial stepping stones for future activities and are published on the IAP Portal only. The overall goal of the IAP programme can be summarised as "the development of operational services for a wide range of users through the combination of different systems".

  15. ESA Integrated Applications Promotion – IAP 3) To achieve this goal, the following objectives have been defined for IAP activities: • Promotion of space applications to a wider range of users, especially those who are not aware of the benefits that space technologies can bring to them; • Development of new operational services for these users, involving a broader participation by actors on both the demand and supply sides; • Utilization of at least two existing and different space assets (such as Satellite Communications, Earth Observation, Satellite Navigation, Human Spaceflight technologies and others), leading to a better exploitation of existing space capacity and know-how together with a better understanding of how they should evolve to meet user requirements; • Cross-fertilisation across disciplines (e.g. impact of Climate on Health, on Energy, on Transport, etc...) together with the development of a consistent approach across Integrated Applications initiatives, to maximize their efficient and cost- effective implementation.
