Expected Outcome

Projects are expected to contribute all the following outcomes:

  • Contribution to the overall objective of launch cost/price reduction by 50% by 2030 (with respect to A6/VegaC cost/price 2021 economic conditions), for the benefit of EU Space programmes implementation and towards reinforcing EU‘s independent capacity to access to space.
  • Improve cost efficiency of existing European test, production and space launch facilities.
  • Feasibility study of an industrial platform (perimeter, technologies, costs), including cost benefit assessment, of key technologies in representative conditions.
  • Matured technologies up to TRL 5/6 standardised technology for improving cost efficiency, interoperability of access to space ground facilities in EU, ground assets portability to speed-up deployments.

These outcomes will contribute to enhance EU strategic autonomy and sector competitiveness, in line with the Expected Impact of the destination.

Scope

Cost reduction and improving flexibility of European launch systems are the main challenges in order to foster European industry competitiveness on the global market.

Europe needs to improve the cost efficiency of the access to space ground facilities and of launch systems production and operations for the strategic launchers essential for the implementation of EU space programme. It could benefit from the industry 4.0 transformational wave, which has the potential to exploit digitalisation and advanced data management for lowering the cost of low production rate facilities and further improving quality. In addition, EU access to space ground facilities needs to become interoperable allowing to decrease the launch service costs.

The activities address technologies maturation applicable to strategic launch systems able to launch EU Space Programme components, with the objective of enabling operational capacities by 2030.

The maturation will go up to TRL5/6.

The activities will address one or several of the following listed domains under a) and/or b):

  • Multi sites flexible industrial platform:
    • Feasibility study and maturation of key technologies in representative conditions of a flexible platform as a tool for existing and future European space launcher products, to enable a cost-efficient approach including existing Manufacturing Assembly Integration and Testing capabilities as design constraints, to increase economical robustness against variable production rates in the rocket industry and to optimise transfer from existing to new launcher productions
    • To explore, including from other industrial sectors, the use of a value-stream mapping (including the material- and information flow) in the field of Design to Manufacturing, Integration, Maintenance and Operation capabilities including improvements based on advanced data management and Artificial Intelligence. Maturation of technologies, including for reusable parts of the launch systems.
  • Develop standardised and cost effective innovative technologies to improve cost efficiency of existing Test and Launch facilities, their interoperability and compatibility/attractiveness for new users, including one or several of the following domains :
    • modern data handling, data processing, diagnostic techniques
    • eco-friendly technologies,
    • automation and innovative controls,
    • mobile telemetry systems, mobile payload preparation facilities,
    • vacuum simulation test facilities,
    • security and safety
  • All the activities should be complementary and coherent with the ESA on-going or future activities, in particular those decided at the last ESA Ministerial held in November 2019. Proposals should provide all IPR dependencies and dependencies with other on-going activities, and detail the implementation, the reporting and the organisational as well as steering measures that will be taken to ensure that the proposed activities can be implemented and can achieve all the expected outcomes within the project schedule and budget.

    In this topic the integration of the gender dimension (sex and gender analysis) in research and innovation content is not a mandatory requirement.

    Specific Topic Conditions:

    Activities are expected to achieve TRL5-6 by the end of the project – see General Annex B.
