Megawatt Highly Efficient Technologies for Space Power and Propulsion Systems for Long-duration Exploration Missions (MEGAHIT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

"Space exploration is one of Europe’s priorities. Nuclear propulsion and power sources are “…essential and enabling key assets for a significant number of exploration missions…” (2005 European WG report on Nuclear Power Sources for Space) and can thus be considered as key technologies for deep-space exploration in Europe, Russia, and the USA. On the other hand, this technological development requi ...

Advanced Thermosphere Modelling for Orbit Prediction (ATMOP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"The ATMOP research project aims at building a new thermosphere model with the potential to spawn an operational version. It will enable precise air drag computation which is mandatory for improved survey and precise tracking of space objects in Low Earth Orbit and the initiation of appropriate measures to minimise risks to satellites (track loss, collisions) and ground assets (re-entry zone).The ...

Pan-European training in computational cosmology: modelling cosmic structures (CosmoComp)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

European scientists lead the world in the modelling of the formation of cosmic structures using computer simulations. The objective of the CosmoComp proposal is to reinforce Europe's world standing in this field by training the next generation of computational cosmologists. CosmoComp builds on and extends existing research collaborations between major European centres, and has a global element wit ...

geoland2 - towards an operational GMES Land Monitoring Core Service (geoland2)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

geoland2 intends to constitute a major step forward in the implementation of the GMES Land Monitoring Core Service (LMCS). The three components (Local, Continental and Global) of the LMCS are addressed. The goal of geoland2 is (i) to prepare, validate and demonstrate pre-operational service chains and products that will underpin the LMCS, and (ii) to propose and demonstrate a concrete functional o ...

Coordination of Space NCPs as a Means to Optimise Services (COSMOS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

"With the introduction of FP7 the topic ""Space"" gained even more importance than in the FPs before. Most EU Member States and Associated Countries and even some Third Countries have set up NCPs for Space; some are already experienced, some are quite new in Space and in dealing with the FP in general. Within the proposed project therefore a strong network of Space NCPs shall be create to identify ...
