For planet earth and beyond
In an effort to showcase the European Space Agency's (ESA) work in the integration of satellite and terrestrial communications, engineers of the Space for 5G/6G programme line have created a virtual environment based on the GSMA Pavilion at Mobile World Congress (MWC), held in Barcelona, Spain.
Two new funding opportunities in a partnership between the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Space for 5G/6G programme line and the GSMA Foundry have been unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain. The opportunities offer industry and academia the chance to submit ideas to leverage the transformative potential of seamless Terrestrial Networks (TN) and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), as well as to revolutionise the mobility market.
A real-world demonstration of a key technology, being developed in partnership with the European Space Agency's (ESA) Space for 5G/6G programme line, has been conducted by advanced networking and laser communications technologies company Aalyria.
A two-year trial for a UK-based autonomous vehicle, which makes use of communications technology developed by the Darwin Innovation Group and co-funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the UK Space Agency, has been successful. The milestone makes it one of the longest running trials of such vehicles and offers a step forward in improving road safety and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has signed a Memorandum of Intent (MOI) with the Global Satellite Operators Association (GSOA), which will see the strengthening of the synergy between satellite and terrestrial telecommunications players.
As the impact of geopolitical tensions and climate change challenges continue to be felt around the world, key players in Europe’s space sector came together in Spain last week to define the requirements of a future Space Data Space system for Europe.
ESA and Swissto12 have signed a contract for the full development and qualification of a new product line of satellites called HummingSat.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has signed a Memorandum of Intent (MoI) with the Space Research Center at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich (UniBw M).
Governments and international disaster response teams have long relied on satellites to assess the impacts of disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Now ESA has partnered with ICEYE, a Finnish microsatellite manufacturer, to improve early warning systems for floods and wildfires and extend their geographical coverage globally.
Sending vast quantities of data between satellites speedily and securely means using light to communicate. Now a group of space companies, research centres and universities working with ESA has established a series of specifications on how exactly satellites should use light to talk to one another – and to link to their ground stations.
