A New Decade: 2010-2020
Political background
 President Barroso‘s second term of office
 Entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty
 Article 189 of the Treaty: EU is given the
power to establish a ‘European space
programme‘
 Establish ‘appropriate relations with ESA‘
2
A New Decade: 2010-2020
Priorities for future programmes

Galileo

GMES - Climate change

Space and Security (including SSA)

Space exploration
Move from research to operations
 Achieved for Galileo
 In the pipeline for GMES
(GMES Regulation approved on 16/09/2010)

Space in the EU Research
Framework Programmes
7th Framework Programme for research and
development - FP7 (2007 – 2013)
About € 1.4 billion over 7 years
Programme administration by the
Research Executive Agency (REA)
Two main areas of research:
Global Monitoring of Environment and
Security - GMES
 Strengthening Space Foundations

6
Strengthening Space Foundations
 Focus on upstream aspects, i.e.:
 innovative launch/propulsion
technologies
 Space science and exploitation of
science data
 Space technologies and
components
 Space Situational Awareness
 Open to international cooperation
7
European Space Situational
Awareness – SSA
 A capability for the monitoring and




surveillance of the space infrastructure and
of space debris
Space weather: impact on telecom
infrastructure, power transmission, air
transport etc.
Active debris removal
NEO mitigation
Complementary to ESA SSA
prep. programme

Opportunities for third countries to
participate in FP7
• Space is a global endeavour
• Participation in the above areas is possible for
researchers from all countries
• The active participation of third country partners
represents an added value to our programme
• Financing of third country participants is possible
and has to be justified in the proposal
• Strong focus on cooperation with space faring
nations like US, Russia, Japan
• Also emerging space powers like China, India,
South Africa, Brazil
