Kosmose valdkonna 5. taotlusvoor osalemiseks avatud

DSCS_SatInSpaceLockheedMartinNüüdseks on iga-aastane, seekord viies 7. raamprogrammi kosmose valdkonna projektikonkurss avatud, projekte saab elektrooniliselt (EPSSi kaudu) esitada 23. novembrini 2011, kuni kella 16.00-ni Eesti aja järgi.

Sellest aastast toimub projektikonkurssidel osalemine Euroopa Komisjoni osalejaportaalis, mis asendab seni raamprogrammi veebikeskkonnana toiminud CORDISe veebilehte.

Koos ESAga panustatakse käesolevasse kutsesse esmakordelt kõige suurem eelarve, seega on head võimalused rahastuse taotlemiseks ning ressursside ja huvi korral on finantseeringu saamiseks kõik eeldused olemas.

Euroopa kosmosepoliitika sihtide paikapanekul 2004. aastal määrati kandev roll GMESi tegevustele, mis on kajastunud ka toimunud kutsetes. Selle eesmärgiks  on tegelda keskkonna-, kliimamuutuste ja julgeoleku küsimustega, kasutades satelliitidelt ja in-situ kogutud andmeid. GMES ühendab endas Maa seiresüsteemid (satelliidid, maapealsed ja atmosfäärisensorid jm), tagamaks täpse ülevaate loodusressursside ja keskkonna kasutusest ja muutustest, samuti tsiviiljulgeoleku ning valmisoleku loodus- ja muude katastroofide korral.

Teine oluline moment Euroopa konkurentsivõime tagamiseks GMESi kõrval on rahvusvaheline koostöö. Sellisteks riikideks on tugeva kosmosepotensiaaliga maad, nagu USA, Venemaa, Kanada, Hiina, India ja Ukraina. Vastastikuse koostöö soodustamiseks sõlmitakse nende maadega koostöölepinguid (näiteks Lõuna-Aafrika ja Brasiilia). Kosmoserakenduste kasutuselevõtt soodustab nende majanduslikku ja sotsiaalset arengut, samal ajal toetades looduse kaitset.

Käesolev tööprogramm on koostatud kooskõlas Euroopa kosmosepoliitikaga, võttes arvesse Space Advisory Group’i (SAG) ettepanekuid. Kutse läbiviimise protseduuride eest kannab hoolt selleks loodud REA (Research Excecutive Agency).

Kutse aluseks on kaks peamist alateemat, nendest esimene koosneb viiest osast:
Activity 9.1. Space-based applications at the service of European Society

  1. Support to the (pre-)operational validation of GMES services and products based on the integration and harmonisation of related observation data (both satellite-based and in-situ, including ground-based, ship-borne and airborne), starting with the funded GMES Services.
  2. Integrated use and application of satellite communication and satellite navigation solutions with space-based observation systems, and with related non-space systems.
  3. Support to the coordinated provision of observation data, both from spacebased infrastructure and from in-situ observation systems.
  4. Development of Earth observation satellites, which relate to the management of the environment and security, and which complement in-situ systems.
  5. Continuity of GMES services, ensuring complementarity and consistency with the GMES Regulation on the European Earth observation programme (GMES) and its initial operations (20112013).

Vaid teemad 1, 3 ja 4 on projektides antud kutses avatud, st prioriteetsed.

GMESi julgeoleku teemal on kutseks välja toodud kolm prioriteetset valdkonda:

  1. Border surveillance (in particular in support to the European external border surveillance system – EUROSUR)
  2. EU external actions
  3. Maritime Surveillance

Teine alateema koosneb kolmest valdkonnast:

Activity 9.2. Strengthening the foundations of Space science and technology
Antud teema eesmärgiks on ennekõike ESA ja EK või teiste Euroopa rahvuslike agentuuride omavaheline sünenergia.

  1. Support to research activities related to space science and exploration
  2. New concepts in space transportation, and key technologies including critical components
  3. Research to reduce the vulnerability of space assets

Potentsiaalsed teemad tulevaseks konkursiks, täpsem ülevaade tööprogrammis lk 56 (ühese mõistetavuse huvides on toodud teemad originaalkeeles, mis on ühtlasi ka projektitaotluseks vajalik):

  • strengthen further GMES service developments;
  • integrate satellite communication and satellite navigation solutions with space-based observing systems fostering the convergence of these space-based capacities;
  • provide an opportunity within FP7 for strengthening international cooperation activities started at the end of the previous Framework Programme, as well as preparing GMES as the European contribution to GEOSS.

Activity: 9.1 Space-based applications at the service of European Society

It is also foreseen to open the final call to the development of downstream services. Specific sectors which could receive attention are sustainable energy management, also in the urban development context, and sustainable resource management.

As regards integrated use and application of satellite communication and satellite navigation solutions with space-based observation systems (action area 2), further FP7 support, including a wider range of (downstream) geo-information R&D needs, is envisaged in 2013.

Complementary R&D activities accompanying GMES Initial Operations will be supported from FP7 in the annual work programmes 2013.

Activity: 9.2. Strengthening the foundations of Space science and technology

Specific Research to reduce the vulnerability of space assets has been covered substantively in the previous call of 2009, and could be addressed again in 2013.

Activity: 9.3 Cross-cutting activities

In particular, the Action Plan on GMES and Africa has now led to a phase of implementation in the frame of the Joint Africa Europe Strategy under Partnership 8 on Science, Information Society and Space, which is expected to be supported in 2013.
