With the growing trend of industrial digitalization, Manufacturing, Assembly, Integration and Testing (MAIT) processes rely ever more in digital files and network connectivity. For In the advanced manufacturing field, Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a clear example of this digitalization. In AM, from design to the final product the information is processed and exchanged via computer files and network connection, allowing a freedom of access and utilization of the data.

ESA has invested in recent years to improve the security of the software systems by providing a Secure Software Engineering standard along with a number of tools that help developers and technical officers to implement it. The SSE4Space proposal moves the concept one level up to the system engineering domain, where security engineering methodologies and tools are equally important.

For a given application area, the power and propulsion requirements may evolve with each generation of the satellite system. Power levels may increase with the enhancement of the payload and also the introduction or the increased use of electric propulsion. These trends are occurring in application segments such as navigation. In order to address these trends, power subsystem solutions may be adapted from satellite systems used for other orbits and other applications.

High voltage and high switching speed DC-DC converters based on Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology offer a revolutionary breakthrough for the next generation of power systems. Moving from Silicon (Si) to GaN, will mean power-conditioning subsystems with better efficiency and reduced mass/volume (50%). GaN transistors also offer the inherent ability to operate at higher voltages than Si and with improved radiation tolerance. All of these attributes are important for space application.

Machine automation is moving towards fully autonomous solutions, which brings higher productivity, cost savings and operational advantages to the customers, while requiring high accuracy GNSS position and attitude determination, as well as integrity and the ability to operate in very difficult environments. As the level of competition in high-end GNSS receivers increases worldwide, there is a need to innovate and to improve the time to market.

The background solar wind and solar eruptions, such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and High-speed Solar wind Streams (HSSs), propagate into interplanetary space are drivers for space weather phenomena. Resulting impacts include geomagnetically induced currents (GICs), ionospheric disturbances interfering with GNSS systems, spacecraft charging, single event effects on spacecraft and launchers resulting from accelerated Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) and aurora, especially at high latitudes.

The outer space is commonly perceived as one of the most hazardous environments for human beings. Nowadays, the training of astronauts relies on a wide range of courses and facilities to prepare them for any situation they may encounter in space. The combination of these training technologies has successfully prepared multiple generations of astronauts. However, these assets lack flexibility to customise the training process, and are limited in scalability to accommodate an increasing number of trainees.

The proposed activity follows the developments of GReCo4 GNSS receiver ASIC (2010-2014) and the Quabanatu (Quad Band Navigation Tuner and Integrated Receiver Module) front end RFIC (2016-2019), performed previously under GSTP Element 2. These technologies equip today all OEM modules and products produced by the company.
