Crowdsourcing for observations from satellites (CROWD4SAT)

The Crowd4Sat initiative led by Imperative Space has spanned a wide range of subject matter in Earth observation and astronomy, to test the opportunities for using citizen science and crowdsourcing (CS) in relation to data originated from satellite platforms, and to develop new workflows and techniques for rapidly incorporating data into CS platforms and generating useable results. Our particular CS approach focussed predominantly on the use of ‘human pattern recognition’, utilising established image sorting and classification platforms.

Development of Thermal Insulation for Planetary Landers and Rovers

Activity with GSTP and RUAG, Austria, to develop a thermal insulation suitable for planetary landers and rover.

An extensive trade-off of on various materials was carried out and supported by full material characterisation tests. Two insulation concepts were selected: foam and a gas gap.

The technical solutions are light weight, flexible and can be applied directly on the external/internal walls, wrapped around electrical cables and to mechanisms

Development of a dual-channel depolarization lidar technique for the derivation of CALIPSO/Aeolus/EarthCARE-related conversion factors

DEDICAtE, aims to the development of a dual-channel depolarization lidar technique for the derivation of CALIPSO/ADM-Aeolus/EarthCARE-related conversion factors. CALIPSO is capable of retrieving linear particle depolarization ratio at 532 nm in a global scale, providing this well- calibrated product since 2006. Future ESA missions EarthCARE and ADM-Aeolus are based on the employment of the High Spectral Resolution polarization-sensitive lidar technique at 355 nm.

Lunar Polar Resource Prospecting: Processing and analysis

A package is foreseen which will assess the resource utilisation potential of the lunar surface by drilling, extracting and chemically processing samples of lunar regolith before performing chemical and isotopic analysis on the derived products. In doing so the package can also address questions of fundamental scientific interest. The first platform targeted for such a package is the Russian Luna‐27 (Luna‐Resurs) mission.

Impact of Low Earth Orbit Observations on Tropospheric Composition Analysis and Forecast

The ISOTROP project was a response to the ESA ITT "Impact of Spaceborne Observations on Tropospheric Composition Analysis and Forecast", AO/1- 6845/11/NL/AF. The general aim is to assess the benefit of the LEO+GEO satellite system for the understanding of local to regional scale tropospheric composition with a focus on Europe. The ISOTROP consortium involved researchers from the European institutes CNRS-GAME, TNO, NILU, FMI, and was led by KNMI.

Finnish technological capacities with regard to ESA opportunities

This report concisely describes the findings of the study Finnish technological capacities with regard to ESA opportunities. An analysis of the past and current space technology activities in Finland has been performed to identify structural weaknesses and strengths. Furthermore, a study has been made of the current technology developments in Finland that have led to a list of potential new space technology products that could contribute to the ESA mandatory programmes. Finally, a list of recommendations to improve the Finnish participation to the ESA programmes has been produced.

System analysis of deployable components for micro landers in low gravity environment

The project entitled "System analysis of deployable components for micro landers in low gravity environment" is conducted within the framework of the ESA contract no. 4000117150/16/NL/HK/hh. Its goal is to perform an analysis and trade-off between the various design options for antennas and solar array deployment mechanisms (including a comparison between the fixed and deployable configurations) of the MASCOT-2 lander in the micro-gravity environment of Didymoon.

Energetic Neutral Atom Imaging for Space Environment Monitoring

ENSEM investigates potential use of energetic neutral atoms (ENA) for space weather monitoring. ENAs are produced everywhere in the solar system due to the interaction between space plasma and ambient particles (neutrals and other plasma populations). Due to the neutrality, ENAs fly straight, keeping the information of the source plasma. Thus, ENAs are expected to visualize the plasma in a remote sensing manner.

Security as a Service for Ground Data Systems
Security and Data Policy are two important architectural concerns for all ground data systems. Awareness of these concerns is increasing within the Agency as programmes such as SSA, Galileo, and GMES evolve and security requirements are more often put forward by the Agency's international partners. It has become evident in the recent past that security controls are becoming more and more necessary in the context of mission data systems in particular when these systems are part of the central processing chain that supports the business processes of a mission or programme.
