This study aims to identify architectural remedies using the emerging technologies that allow generic OBP designs which can be re-programmed in-orbit for more efficient and flexible operation.
he main objective and scope of the study is to assess the commercial and technical feasibility of a number of non-safety (i.e. APC and AAC) aeronautical communication solutions and business models in order to identify the commercial viability and technical feasibility of current and emerging connectivity solutions for the Air Transport, Business Aviation and Government market segments.
The study will explore new air interface techniques and supporting payload/ground segment solutions for providing more cost effective broadcast/interactive services in the near future. The main emphasis is on validating the merits of the new promising solutions being proposed, such as MIMO, interference cancellation, on-ground beamforming, hybrid satellite /terrestrial coverage.
The CONT-TRAK project aims to provide a
unique, low-cost solution to make container shipping
more efficient and enhance trade security. It will ensure
continuous container monitoring and tracking from the
point of origin, by truck, rail or ship (buried in a stacked
environment) to the final destination. A suite of sensors
within the container will ensure immediate satcom
notification of any tampering, thus enhancing the safety
and security of container transportation.
The scope of the project is to do an assessment of demands for and offers of communication services in the Arctic region in the 2015-2020 time frame. The assessment will include a number of market sectors such as shipping, mining, oil and gas exploration, fisheries and others, and geostationary and non-geostationary satellite communication systems as well as terrestrial communication systems.

The objective of this project is the development of the "Media Fleet Manager", a system for the booking and managing of DVB-S / DVB-S2 transmissions for fix or mobile TV-uplink stations.
A study on cost-effective solutions, how to track those satellites in inclined orbits to extend the commercial exploitation of satellites which are close to or even beyond their design life.
The project develops extensions to the SkyNMS network management system, used to support configuration, line-up and operation of VSAT networks based on the SkyWAN® product family.
SkyWAN NG incorporates the new Turbo phi modem from the HEAT programme into the new SkyWAN IDU 7000 and updates SkyWAN with the latest available modem technology.
In the project the SkyWAN® IDU 1070´s IP and management functions are extended. Of the overall four IP/LAN ports, one provides integrated PEP functionality, including VPN with IPsec, TCP acceleration and HTTP prefetching. Also, a dedicated management port is introduced, with DHCP/DNS capability. Furthermore, the management of the new functions is included in the SkyNMS® network management system.
The project will develop engineering and planning tools for VSAT networks based on the SkyWAN® product family. The objectives are to support: topology and connectivity modeling, traffic modeling and carrier sizing, TDMA network planning, link budget with automatic footprint disadvantage calculation, transmission power control calculation and overall model analysis and consistency checks.

The scope of the 10N Thruster Qualification activities is the new qualification of Astrium's 10N Bi-propellant thruster Type S10-21 in view of a remarkably extended number of pulses for Eurostar 3000 satellite platforms (required 921.303 pulses compared to previously qualified 497.668 pulses).
This project aims to support European space industry in regional and global mobile satellite systems which require new payload equipment, such as large antennas and beam forming networks.
This activity will collect the requirements for interplanetary communication systems to support space exploration activities. It will take into account input from concept studies of future missions (e.g. Mars Sample Return), as well as from studies on the medium- and long-term programmatic planning such as the ?Analysis of space-based services architecture for the European space exploration?.
This project has facilitated a detailed design trade-off of two alternative antenna architectures to meet next generation missions in Ku band where coverage reconfigurability will be required. In both cases the technology limitations of analogue beamforming have been shown to be prohibitively complex and a need for high power, fast digital processing has been shown to be the only practical way to proceed.
