• Since 2002 (Tromsø Satellite Station, 1967)

– Turnover 2014: ~60 Meuro – Result: +20 %, – Employees: 145, 8 nations – Annual growth rate: ~20 % – Export ~90 %

• Satellite Operations

– Ground segment & services – Tracking, commanding & control – Data handling – 85 satellites/day, 20 000 pass/month

• Energy, Environment and Security

– Multimission NRT data and information services – Maritime primary domain – Land developing

• One customer point of contact
• 20years+ space agencies, commercial
• Next generation infrastructure (cloud’s)
• Ground segment activities

– Launch ->Mission end support – Global network S/X/C-band, Tromsø core – Copernicus Ground Segment (core, collab) – Meteorological, SAR, HR optical missions

• NRT(~15min) EO based services

– Agreement for «all» SAR missions – Additional (Sat)AIS, database, models, .. – Deliveries for operational/tactical use – Oil spill detection (EMSA CSN, global) – Vessel detection – Ice information (-edge, -bergs) – Metocean (Wind, wave, current)

• Important to harmonise and standardise the evolution of the

various mission ground segments, to ease

– Multimission service providers working environment – User’s access to data

• Bridge gap between data and users, i.e. making data available to

users in a technical and programmatic more cost-effective way

• Free and open data focus, but national/commercial and non-

European missions important and need to be fully considered.

• Challenge to serve variety of users ranging from need for data

and processing services towards information & decision input

• Industrial capacity and capability exists, investments are being
• done. Find roles and responsibilities, e.g. for ESA vs industry

• Interoperability

– Simple, clear interfaces towards data sources, processing, etc. – Not developed by researchers that never worked in an operational setting.

• Enlarge EO data usage by

– Making data easily available: Higher processing levels, no multiple logins, no explanation why or how to use it. – Bringing users to the data will result in new innovative applications – Organisations that deliver data services to be paid for the costs involved. – Easy to use simple APIs and interoperability to allow "non EO experts" to get access to data at all levels

• Platforms and technologies.

– Industry will maintain competitive edge and not provide it for free and open. – Need to balance competitive advantages and IPR on value-adding vs «open source» – Example: ESA TEP tender; Industry & public access to competitive knowlegde

dations tions

• Europe has a developing industrial service capacity – not only on

space and mission technolgy. Maintain industry opportunities and IPR’s versus Core GS’s, public services and in-sourcing.

• Support and stimulate new, innovative and small actors who

want to create new "app’s" – and not brining all “open source”.

• Innovation Europe focus on European advantages e.g

Copernicus, important to include the world outside (likely not «free and open») because it is needed to serve real operational customer needs.

• Needs for documentation has increased e.g. in European
• projects. Consider necessity of all documents vs use of resources

towards the users.
