Autonomous Non-wheeled all-Terrain rover (ANT)
Wheeled rovers are the clear choice for large traverse exploration of relatively flat terrains.
 
ESA has investigated walking rovers for several years (GSP CESAR, TERP ARAMIE and SPACEWALKER, NPI with DLR and ethz).
Recent advances in leg motoring (serial-elastic actuation) make possible to overcome the issues highlighted in previous ESA work.
There is potential of realising a walking rover for space use in short time.

Test automation exchange framework
Large aerospace projects require the collaboration from many partners, which often use their own development tools and frameworks. The validation of such projects relies heavily on test automation to increase the quality and reduce the costs. Unfortunately, the automated tests developed by each partner typically only address their specific activity and rely on specific tool. Over the past few years, several frameworks to support the automated testing and validation of the different parts of a space project have been produced and deployed.

Augmented and Virtual Reality supported Mission Operations
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) provide new capabilities that have the potential to significantly improve the efficiency of the preparation (e.g. Simulation, planning domain) as well as the conduction of mission operations.

Improved multi-junction solar cells with up to 33% efficiency at end of life
Establishment of technology non-dependence in the area of solar cell technology has been one of the key successes of the TRP programme in recent years. The current situation is that the marketplace remains extremely competitive. The main concern is that the unless European technology keeps up with competition, especially from US solar cell manufacturers, then European products will not be competitive and technology independence will be lost. Continuity of development remains critical in order to maintain this position.

Augmented and virtual reality support tool for ground station equipment and telescopes
Ground Stations and Telescopes are often in remote geographical locations. The local staff do often not possess the required skills and/or knowledge to perform all tasks related to configuration, maintenance and operation of the hardware equipment. As a result, more experienced engineers must travel to the sites to perform the respective tasks.

De-risk assessment: LESSON - LargE Scale Struts prOductioN

The production process of full-CFRP struts, was before only suitable for low volume production rates (~10 struts/month) and including worker safety critical processes. This approach had to be reviewed and changed to enable production rates >100/month and improve worker safety. The activity focused on the:

MoBaTe – Enabling Model-Based Testing and Automated Test Case Generation for Ground Segment Data Systems

The driver behind the MoBaTe activity was to propose ways to improve the current software development and validation lifecycle using MBSE techniques to shift some of the system validation activities to the early stages of development. The roadmap to achieve this included identifying strategies, required model properties, modelling tools and languages needed to move from a requirements-based approach to a model-based approach. All this considering existing and established workflows and tools currently used by ESA.

SaasyML: Onboard Machine Learning Software As A Service For Experimenters

The 'SaaSy ML' project will provide experimenters with on board Machine Learning (ML) functionalities that any app can subscribe to via a Software as a Service (SaaS) app hosted on the Satellite Experimental Processing Platform (SEPP). The ML features provided by the SaaS app will cover both training and prediction operations. The JSAT open-source java library for ML will be re-used thus making accessible over 100 training algorithms onboard a flying mission. Re-using the JSAT library will ensure the development to focus on the idea's novel aspect: a spacecraft SaaS app for in-orbit ML.
