Starting from various prototypes available from different activities (COrDeT-3, OSRAc, OBCP (On-Board Control Procedures), IMA-SP (Integrated Modular Avionics for Space, MORA-TSP), the activity aims at producing a representative on-board software featuring the typical on-board functions, following the process and architecture of Savoir OSRA.

Quantum algorithms process information stored in qubits, the basic memory unit of quantum processors, and quantum operations (called gates) are the building blocks of quantum algorithms. In order to be run on quantum computing hardware, quantum algorithms must be compiled into a set of elementary machine instructions (i.e., quantum gates).

SAVOIR (avionics harmonisation working group regrouping agencies, primes and suppliers) has produced a model-based avionics roadmap (SAVOIR-TN-003) that describes the user needs, the requirements and the architecture of a so-called quot;avionics factoryquot;, i.e. The model based environment.

Test suites are typically designed and verified by hand. Having a systematic way of designing / verifying a test suite would be beneficial to improve the test quality of critical software. Mutation testing could be an alternative or complementary testing approach, that would help to improve the design amp; verification of a test suite. Mutation would provide a systematic and repeatable process for measuring the effectiveness of a test suite and it would provide a level of assurance beyond that offered by manual review.

In parallel with the design and implementation of the current operational Proba-V Mission Exploitation Platform (PV-MEP), based upon a series of building blocks (i.e. software components) prototyped in previous technology development projects, various standardization activities (led by ESA in collaboration with the Open Geospatial Consortium and the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites) have been carried out, in order to make such developed software components aligned and interoperable with the current landscape in EO data access and exploitation (like e.g.

  • Enforce the use of the physical engineering model that TAS-F already has by sub-system architects in order to have the model as a central source of truth
  • Produce an interactive representation of the model allowing its consultation without having to install dedicated modelling tools
  • Produce trend graphs on system budgets
  • Produce document generation capability to export graphs and tables to the system and subsystem budget reports

The E.Inspector mission objectives are to:* Image an ESA owned space debris in its current status * Use obtained images for the verification and validation of the e.deorbit or space tug GNC sensorsFollowing a successful ESA internal CDF study, the mission is now proposed to go to phase A to be studied by industry.Several drivers make this mission design challenging:* A possible long and large (delta-V) transfer to the target* Compliance to Space Debris Mitigation guidelines from possibly high altitude* A close RDV while maintaining keep-out zones and ensuring passively safe trajectories* Tr

In-cloud image processing used for civil protection and employed by World Bank.

An in-cloud image processing software built by a GSTP Element 1 activity with Italy has already been employed by the World Bank. Currently, the tools available on the market to view, edit and process Earth Observation images are mostly desktop-based. But, as high performance computing progresses, there is more and more need for Earth Observation image processing to be moved onto the cloud, to minimise data transfer.

There is a specific requirement on the new land services focusing on continuous change monitoring. The current operational methods of land cover change detection are based on bi-temporal analysis for two points in time. These approaches are applied to 3 to 6 years mapping campaigns, while land cover changes occur continually. ;With this 3 to 6 year gap between inventories, all land change processes occurring in between are not captured. Full-fledged Land Cover Continuous Monitoring system of the land evolution is provided for EEA.
