Integrated Flex Pivot Position Sensor
There is a current trend towards using tribology free mechanisms where possible, to avoid complexities such as stick-slip behaviour and noise due to sliding contacts. These trends have led to the ongoing development of promising Large Angle Flexible Pivots, the deflecting behaviour of these pivots presents opportunities to unlock further advances in the area of sensors.

Virtual workplace for AIT PA training and operations support
Currently space missions are assembled, tested and verified following manual procedures: for the most part their production, assembly, integration and verification activities are lagging behind the latest ?Industry 4.0? smart factory approaches. Assembly, integration and verification from equipment up to platform and satellite level is a huge set of tasks and the nature of the involved engineering disciplines are very diverse. Activities are performed in parallel at several locations executed by different teams of experts and using a variety of tools.

Improvement of microvibration prediction and verification methods

This activity is split in different parts focusing on various aspects of the overall methodology: 1) Models and structural analysis development, fidelity and coupling: Noise source models are the starting point of microvibration analysis. Some sources are well known and modelled (e.g. Reaction wheel) but others still require some development. In particular, cryo-cooler and stepper motors models are often key to microvibration performance but are generally based on black-box models coming from test characterization without a model representation of the physical phenomena.

Space and maritime: analysis of requirements in Greece

The Space4Maritime.gr study identified, analysed and prioritised via desk research, interviews and an online survey 118 unique needs of the maritime sector in Greece which could benefit from space infrastructure. It then translated these needs into a list of user requirements.

Assimilation of lidar observations of aerosols for climate modelling and NWP

The objective of the Aeolus/EarthCARE Aerosol Assimilation Studies (A3S) project was to allow assimilation of the Aeolus L2A lidar backscatter data, also paving the way for the assimilation of EarthCARE products. Since the Aeolus and EarthCARE missions were not yet launched at the time of the study, demonstration datasets based on model data (MOCAGE model for the aerosols and the IFS for the clouds) and a one-day dataset based on CALIPSO data (reprocessed at the UV wavelength and with the Aeolus orbit data) was created.

Operational Assimilation of Space-borne Radar and Lidar Cloud Profile Observations for Numerical Weather Prediction

The main objectives of this project were to develop the tools and structure to enable routine EarthCARE radar and lidar observations of clouds to be assimilated in the ECMWF Numerical Weather Prediction model and to prepare for the real-time monitoring of the observations to detect instrument degradation or errors. This required adjustments of assimilation tools, such as the observation operators, observation error definition, quality control, data screening and bias correction.
