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.

Game theoretic analysis of space debris removal dilemma

The increase of space debris means that active space debris removal is becoming more relevant. An active debris removal mission would have a positive effect (or risk reduction) for all satellites in the same orbital band. This leads to a dilemma: each space agency has an incentive to delay its actions and wait for others to respond. We model this scenario as a non-cooperative game between self-interested agents in which the agents are space agencies.

Impact Risk in LEO as a result of the Increase of Nano and Micro-Satellites

Low Earth orbit (LEO) is experiencing a renaissance thanks to increasing commercialisation of space. The opportunities provided by small satellites are enabling diminutive companies and startups, in particular, to make a significant impact on the space economy. Small satellites have played a vital role in this revolution and they have a unique ability to bring around new products and services at short timescales and for relatively low-cost.

ASSESSMENT OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE BENEFITS ON BRAIN HEALTH FOR LONG-DURATION SPACEFLIGHT

Poor sleep on the ISS remains one of the major factors, which affect negatively the performance and psychological resilience of astronauts. The development of novel effective countermeasures for sleep loss, performance decrements and psychological deficits during space missions is needed.

Combined space and maritime innovation networks

ESA member states are investing heavily in ESA-programmes, whilst EU Member States have invested heavily in the Copernicus programme and the new Sentinel satellite systems. However, the wealth of business opportunities, the knowledge, technology and data the space sector represents is not fully exploited. The Maritime sector is vital to Europe, both with regard to employment and business value, however, the use of Earth Observation (EO) and other space technology could be stronger in this sector.

Crowd4Sat: Crowdsourcing for Observations from Satellites

The Crowd4Sat project explored a range of crowdsourcing methodologies and technologies, from opportunistic sourcing ­ the ability to extract relevant data from unrelated activities ­ to participatory sourcing, where citizens and authorities explicitly participate in the data collection. The crowdsourced data and information collected ranged from real time pollution data from cars (via the The Floow's technologies who have hundreds of thousands of users on four continents), to crowdsourced geotagged images from sites like Panoramio, Flicker and Twitter, to social media messages (e.g.
