ESA has traditionally specified space systems using a document-based approach, and is now in a transition process towards the digitalisation of systems engineering activities. At the same time, space industry companies have their own internal set of best practices and experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
To solve this problem, ESA initiated this study led by CGI in partnership with OHB to identify a way to harmonise the different MBSE approaches from industry and compile the information into a concise book.
CGI Deutschland B.V.
The objective of this study was to help define how to maintain and further develop European access to the surface of Mars, the major destination for European exploration, following the most recent approved and developed (or currently in development) missions (ExoMars 2016, ExoMars RSP).
Thales Alenia Space
The activity 'Small Satellite Missions to Mars (S2M2)' is an early-phase architecture study of a potential low-cost mission to Mars as further step in the Mars exploration roadmap developed by ESA.
A potential implementation from industry’s point of view was assessed, applying the strict design-to-cost philosophy by fostering strong reuse of an available OHB platform. Trade-offs were performed for assessing a low-cost mission profile targeting the programmatic constraints that were input to this study.
OHB System AG
The aim of this study was to investigate potential small mission architectures that would further ESA's exploration objectives at Mars post-Mars Sample Return (in the 2030s) or potentially in parallel with MSR (if sufficiently low cost).

As on Earth, space debris should not only be seen as a threat. Instead, the value of waste as a recycled good should be understood. On Earth, this potential is already fully recognised. The German recycling industry alone generates more revenue than the entire European space industry. Nevertheless, this treasure was never lifted in space.
Orbit Recycling
The Mars Surface Platform Capabilities Study aimed to provide ESA with an assessment of the state of the art in Mars lander technologies using ESA/European technologies with flight heritage. Airbus’ Mars lander experience is taken from the Beagle 2 probe launched in 2003 on board Mars Express.
The objectives of the study were to:

Previous ESA Studies, such as the LUNA study 'Artificial Analogue Concepts for Preparing Robotics and Human Exploration on the Moon' identified gaps in European infrastructures to simulate surface operations with lunar soil (simulant) in a vacuum. There exist several vacuum chambers or terrain models such as the coming EAC LUNA facility which can be used for testing equipment either in a vacuum or on a simulated lunar terrain, but not both.

For decades humans have been producing plastic materials and this production has never ceased growing to a point that, due to waste mismanagement, a global environmental issue has been generated. One of the most mediatic manifestations of such a pollution is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), an area in the North Pacific ocean with higher density of macro and microplastic representing between three and six times the size of France .
Capgemini
The focus of this study was the system-level assessment of potential small mission architectures that could operate at Mars in the 2030s, after or potentially in parallel with MSR mission.
In particular two cases were evaluated:
- Mission 1: Mars Communications Constellation (MCC), for supporting assets on the surface and providing science
- Mission 2: Mars Science Orbiter (MSO), a science-driven mission, remote sensing
Thales Alenia Space
The aim of this study was to explore and consolidate the possible sources of methane biases in retrievals from thermal infrared sensors, to establish necessary actions and perform the related work for mitigating biases. The study distinguishes three types of error sources, which shall be covered: spectroscopic knowledge and input data to radiative transfer models, forward model errors, and instrument biases.
