Objectives
The objective of SATNEX V is to study medium/long term directions of Space and Satellite Telecommunication Systems for any of the Commercial or Institutional applications that can be considered appealing to key players in the space technologies domain but that are still not mature enough for attracting industry or initiating dedicated ESA R&D activities.
Challenges
The project has to accommodate the high dynamic satellite communications research ecosystem to smoothly fund high-risk and high-impact initial studies. This involves having a very efficient contracting procedure with a short time-to-react fashion. Another key challenge is to gather all research groups experts in field of satellite communications.
