CDTI Presentation - September 2007 1 Preliminary Selection of
Proposal for TRP 2008-2010
Slide 2
CDTI Presentation - September 2007 2 What is the TRP ? Basic
Technology Research Programme (TRP) Part of ESA Mandatory
Programmes Only ESA Technology Programme covering all disciplines
& applications Based on three-year Workplans, with yearly
updates About 40 M in commitments per Year Programme objectives
are: To assess innovative technologies incorporating high
development risks but also a high potential pay-off and to
demonstrate their usefulness for space, To enable ESA space
missions by demonstrating the feasibility of technologies required
for these missions or applications, To demonstrate the feasibility
of technologies of common interest to all ESA projects and
programmes.

E2E Process
Slide 4
CDTI Presentation - September 2007 4 E2E Process: Landscape of
Programmes Timely availability of technology reduces project risks
Technology is implemented in a set of corporate and domain specific
programmes Coordination across ESA programmes and harmonization

Slide 6
CDTI Presentation - September 2007 6 Summary: Programme
Definition There is a large number of technology programmes in ESA,
in general specific to an application and covering higher TRLs The
TRP is the only ESA Technology Programme covering all disciplines
& applications Technology Programmes are defined as one output
of the End-to-End Process starting with the identification of
requirements, leading to work plans within the programmes
consistent within the overall ESA Long Term Plan, The Technology
Network (TEC-NET) with representatives of technical disciplines and
applications is at the heart of this process. The TRP is defined as
part of an ESA wide E2E process

service domains, e.g. Exploration, Earth Observation and Space
Science as well as basic technologies. Drivers are: - Programme
driven multi-domain technology, e.g. platform technology -
Technology potential enabling ambitious objectives in the long-term
Technology potential, should be organized so that it increases
performance and reduces costs drastically, and assures European
non-dependence. Generic Technologies are summarized in ESTER (D0)

The Theme
Slide 32
CDTI Presentation - September 2007 32 Cross-sectorial Themes
1.Improving the way we deliver an operate space systems: E2E System
Design Developing technologies, techniques and tools that
significantly contribute to reduce time and cost of developing and
operating space missions, 2.Disruption by evolution: S/C Avionics
Technology that imply significant spacecraft evolution in :. IP in
space, Plug & Playstyle avionics, software and software reuse,
spacecraft management (FDIR, command and control), AOCS, data
integrity. 3.Disruptive Technologies Developing disruptive
technologies, that transform the way space systems are designed
=>How can we bring the promise of MNT into space, anticipating
needs for exploration, sci ? 4.Electronic Components Focus is on
securing development/evaluation of standard components. Advanced
components e.g. GaN, requiring significant investment have to be
addressed in NewPro. Cross-sectorial Theme 1 and 2 are a
collaborative effort between D/TEC and D/OPS

Slide 34
CDTI Presentation - September 2007 34 Objectives Improve
development and operations processes to reduce cost and schedule
preserving the required quality level to accomplish future more
demanding missions within affordable limits To increase industrial
competitiveness Most of the cost and schedule overruns experienced
today in space programmes are due to lack of an explicit trade-off
and challenge of expensive requirements and misjudgement of system
end-to-end performance issues, combined with the associated
additional effort for the verification phase, and partially lack of
maturity of the technologies adopted. Scope Multidisciplinary
aspects incl. D/OPS System Level (versus discipline level) e.g.
from Spacecraft, to Mission level (space and ground) and even
