The European Space Agency Tender

The Objective Of The Activity Is To Derisk In Short Timeframe Innovative Gnc Algorithms And Sensors For Future Space Transportation. This Technology Field Includes (but Is Not Limited To) Concepts Of On-board Real-time Optimisation Of Guidance Or Control, And Gncsensors For Landing Phase Or For Orbital Servicing Phase, E.g. Low-cost And Reliable Imu Or Star Tracker For Launcher Upper Stage Or Service Module, Rendezvous Sensors For Close Range Operations, Altimeters For Landing Phase. After The Identification Of Potentialapplication And The Definition Of Related Requirements, The Activity Shall Allow Identifying The Potential Gains In Terms Of Performance And/or Recurring Costs And Then Demonstrate The Ability Of The Technology To Bring These Gains To The Identified Potential Application By Manufacturing And Testing A Breadboard Of The Proposed Technology.
