Topic description

ExpectedOutcome:

• Support the EU space policy and the green deal by paving the way for the
deployment of a future EU Earth observation mission making use of quantum
gravimetry

• Ensure EU non-dependence for the development of capacities leading to the
availability of quantum space gravimetry

• Enhance the TRL of all (critical) components necessary to build quantum
gravimetry for space

These outcomes will contribute to securing the autonomy of supply for critical
technologies and equipment, and fostering the EU's space sector competitiveness,
in line with the Expected Impact of the destination.

Proposals must address all the above-mentioned, expected outcomes.

Scope:

The scope of this topic is the development of EU technologies and components for
a space quantum gravimeter or gradiometer (this may include hybrid sensors,
relying both on quantum and classical technologies) and which will lead to the
development of an Engineering Model and its potential qualification for a
pathfinder mission.

The enhancement of the TRL up to TRL5 for cold atom interferometry (including
Bose-Einstein Condensates) components is a key objective of this call. The scope
also covers the development of software simulation tools to analyse the
different gravimetry mission concepts linked to these sensors or processing and
analysis of the sensor data. This also includes the development and/or use of
testbeds such as the Einstein elevator or any other system used to recreate or
simulate the space environment (including airborne testing) to test quantum
gravimeters technology components.

The priority for this topic is the development of the technology leading to the
deployment of a pathfinder mission based on cold atom interferometry
demonstrating the gravimetric performance.

The proposals should answer the whole scope of this topic.

In this topic the integration of the gender dimension (sex and gender analysis)
in research and innovation content is not a mandatory requirement.

Specific Topic Conditions:



Activities are expected to achieve TRL5 by the end of the project – see General
Annex B.

Destination

Open strategic autonomy in developing, deploying and using global space-based
infrastructures, services, applications and data

Today EU citizens enjoy watching satellite TV, increasingly accurate global
navigation services for all transport modes and users (e.g. mobile phones and
car navigation systems), extended Earth monitoring for land, marine, atmosphere
and climate change, global meteorological observation and accurate cartographies
of a wide number of variables. Space also makes important contributions to
security crisis management and emergency services. These are key assets for the
EU policies on climate, environment, transport, agriculture and secure society
(e.g. Maritime Strategy, the Arctic Strategy, the Digital Agenda, the Common
Security and Defence Policy, the Sustainable Development Strategy, the SGDGs).
Finally, the space sector is a source of economic growth, jobs and exports.

This destination will directly support the following Key Strategic Orientations,
as outlined in the Strategic Plan:

 * KSO A, ‘Promoting an open strategic autonomy by leading the development of
   key digital, enabling and emerging technologies, sectors and value chains to
   accelerate and steer the digital and green transitions through human-centred
   technologies and innovations.’
 * KSO B, 'Restoring Europe’s ecosystems and biodiversity, and managing
   sustainably natural resources to ensure food security and a clean and healthy
   environment.
 * KSO C, ‘Making Europe the first digitally led circular, climate-neutral and
   sustainable economy through the transformation of its mobility, energy,
   construction and production systems.’
 * KSO D, ‘Creating a more resilient, inclusive and democratic European society,
   prepared and responsive to threats and disasters, addressing inequalities and
   providing high-quality health care, and empowering all citizens to act in the
   green and digital transitions.’

Proposals for topics under this Destination should set out a credible pathway to
contributing to the following expected impact:

Open strategic autonomy in developing, deploying and using global space-based
infrastructures, services applications and data, including by reinforcing the
EU’s independent capacity to access space, securing the autonomy of supply for
critical technologies and equipment, and fostering the EU's space sector
competitiveness.

This expected impact is fully in line with the Space Strategy for Europe and the
proposal for the Space Programme. Horizon Europe R&I funds will contribute to
this expected impact along 2 main axes by:

 * providing support with R&I funding to the EU space sector at large
 * making a specific impact with the EU action with R&I to prepare the future
   evolutions of the Space programme components

This Destination is therefore structured along the following headings:

1 Foster competitiveness of space systems

2 Reinforce EU capacity to access to space

3 Evolution of Space and ground infrastructures for Galileo/EGNOS

4 Evolution of services: Copernicus

5 Development of applications for Galileo, EGNOS and Copernicus

6 Innovative space capabilities: SSA, GOVSATCOM, Quantum

7 Space entrepreneurship ecosystems (incl. New Space and start-ups) and skills

Targeted and strategic actions supporting the EU space sector

While headings 1, 2, 7 and 8 will support the EU space sector at large and are
largely based on the recommendation of the Strategic Research and Innovation
Agenda, headings 3), 4), 5), and 6) will be supporting the Space Programme
components as well as the emerging quantum initiative.

All headings will contribute to the 'Open strategic autonomy in developing,
deploying and using global space-based infrastructures'. This is the underlying
goal when investing in R&I to ensure the future of existing space programme
component infrastructures, services and applications (Heading 3) and with R&I to
investigate new future services (Heading 4) or to develop innovative space
capabilities such as SSA, GOVSATCOM and Quantum (Heading 6). This autonomy would
however not be complete if we did not have the capacity to access space, to
launch these infrastructures (Heading 2) and to propose opportunities for
In-Orbit Demonstration and In-Orbit Validation (Heading 8). As the EU space
sector relies on a smaller share of institutional investments compared to other
regions, this difference needs to be compensated by a more competitive sector
(Heading 1). R&I and a strategy for critical technologies for non-dependence is
another important axis of action (Heading 8). A guarantee for such autonomy is
also to have a vivid and competitive downstream sector and entrepreneurship
eco-systems in the EU (Headings 5 and Heading 7). A description of the headings
objectives and targeted achievements is provided below.

Foster competitiveness of space systems

The European space sector and space economy need to improve space-based
capabilities, capture new markets, adapt to rapidly changing markets whilst
staying competitive in the satellite communication, navigation and Earth
observation sectors. This requires the development of new competitive
technologies for space and ground systems, such as very high throughput and
flexible satellites, very high-resolution sensors, radiation-hardened
electronics, on-board and ground Artificial Intelligence (AI), optical
communication and quantum technologies, as well as advanced robotics. We also
need to prepare the ground for future modular, flexible and intelligent
satellites. In the mid to long term, the future space ecosystem should include
hybrid, smart and reconfigurable satellites, which can be manufactured,
assembled and serviced directly in-orbit, and with a de-orbiting capacity.

Digitalisation and automation will enable advanced design and manufacturing
methods (including additive manufacturing) and “Digital Twins”, plug-and-play
modularity, as well as model based system engineering. This will yield
reductions in mass, cost, emission, energy consumption and development time.

Disruptive technologies and concepts should be further developed to bring
breakthrough innovation to the space sector, while at the same time advancing
technology maturation in the view of qualification on ground or via In-Orbit
Demonstration and Validation activities.

Reinforce EU capacity to access to space

Two specific challenges stand out. Firstly, the highly competitive global market
for launch services, which is characterised by an increasing number of
competitors, secondly, the emerging opportunities in space transportation that
have not been yet seized by European launch actors characterised by new uses of
space (e.g. small satellites, larger constellations, payload recovery, payload
quick deployment), new services (e.g. direct orbit injection, in-orbit
servicing) and in-space transportation. This will require, amongst others, new
concepts for reducing the production and operation cost such as reusability
(including stage recovery and landing) of launcher and vehicle components, and
low cost, high thrust and green propulsion, modular avionics, autonomous
systems, micro launchers, re-entry vehicles and modern and flexible test and
launch facilities. Both will require urgent activities to enable operational
capacities by at the latest 2030.

Disruptive technologies, methodologies and concepts should be developed to bring
breakthrough innovation to the launcher systems sector as well as to contribute
to cost reduction and contribute to the preparation of a competitive European
Space Transportation beyond 2030.

Evolution of Space and ground infrastructures for Galileo/EGNOS

For Galileo/EGNOS, the international context, the competitive environment with
emerging actors and novel techniques in the value chain, the increasing threats,
and the evolution of the technologies, components and systems, including
dual-use technology, call for a constant adaptation of the EU space
infrastructure to these changing realities.

To meet these challenges, EU needs sustained investments in R&D for innovative
mission concepts, technology and systems. These will ensure the continuity of
the EGNSS service, minimise the risks for technology inclusion in the
infrastructure, thanks to anticipated development and testing including
in-orbit, protect better this infrastructure against modern threats (notably
cyber, jamming/spoofing, natural hazards), and increase the strategic autonomy
in key technologies. Overall, they will maintain the EU´s leadership position in
the Global Navigation Satellite Systems.

Evolution of services: Copernicus

Copernicus core services (Climate, Marine environment, Land monitoring,
Atmosphere monitoring, Emergency management and Security) must evolve and
improve to better respond to new and emerging policy needs, such as
anthropogenic CO2, green house gas and pollutant monitoring, climate change
mitigation and adaptation, EU arctic policy, coastal area, sustainable
development goals, environmental compliance, protection of natural resources,
ecosystems and biodiversity, food security, agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture,
crisis management, safe transport, sustainable and clean energy, border
management, preserving cultural heritage, as well as other new domains that
could bring key contributions to the European Green Deal and to other EU
priorities.

Similarly, the Galileo service portfolio (High precision positioning, navigation
and timing, authentication, search and rescue and Public Regulated Service, PRS)
must be adapted to the evolution of the user needs and market trends. This
requires new services and capabilities to better serve the downstream
application sector, so that EGNSS remains at the fore front of the provision of
satellite positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services and keeps the pace
with increasing global competition in the sector (USA, China, 5G, etc.). Europe
should extend Galileo services to various societal challenges and offer it as a
complementary service to emerging markets like 5G, CCAM and AI.

Development of applications for Galileo, EGNOS and Copernicus

EGNSS and Copernicus capacities are unique and world-class and should be fully
utilised for EU citizens, companies and society. Research and innovation should
therefore foster the development of EGNSS downstream applications and promote
their adoption in the EU and worldwide, in particular in markets with a long
lead-time (e.g. maritime, rail, aviation), and in areas where Galileo offers
unique differentiators (high accuracy, authentication, Search and Rescue, PRS

Copernicus based applications and services can serve, for example, polar
research, monitoring of the environment, maritime and coastal monitoring,
natural disasters, civil security, migration and agriculture. They and can
bring, with EGNSS, a key contribution to the European Green Deal and to the
sustainable management of natural resources. The public sector should be
supported as customer of space based technologies via innovation procurement.
Synergies between Galileo/EGNOS and Copernicus, as well as synergies with
non-space programmes, leveraging the combination of space data with non-space
data, will open new avenues for the creation of a wealth of new and innovative
applications and services. The use of Copernicus and Galileo/EGNOS for the EOSC
and DestinE initiatives should equally be taken into account and promoted.

Innovative space capabilities: SSA, GOVSATCOM, Quantum

Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and GOVSATCOM innovative components will be
developed in the EU Space programme fostered by Horizon Europe R&I. Quantum
Technologies, as an emerging field with great potential to be applied in the EU
Space programme, requires foundational research and validation activities for
its space component.

Space Situational Awareness (SSA) will provide services to European users
including spacecraft owners/operators and governmental entities that will
reinforce the protection and resilience of European space and ground
infrastructures against various hazards and risks (mainly collisions in/from
space, Near Earth Objects or space weather events). New challenges are posed by
the ever-increasing orbital population of smaller satellites and space debris
and the associated increased risk of orbital collisions, fragmentations and
re-entries. R&I activities shall address these challenges by developing novel
architectures and technical solutions for ground/space sensors, data processing,
networking and operation centres (including critical technological elements for
the realisation of crucial future space weather applications and services) to
ensure safety and sustainability of space operations in Europe as well as by
improving current EUSST services and implementing new ones (space debris
mitigation and remediation services; space weather services).

The GOVSATCOM initiative aims to provide reliable, secured and cost-effective
satellite communications services to EU and Member State authorities with an
infrastructure supporting secure critical missions and the ability to exchange
sensitive information in a environment of worldwide hybrid threats (including
the Arctic). Research and innovation activities will foster the development of
European satcom security related technologies and increase European independence
from foreign critical technologies and exploiting synergies with Copernicus and
Galileo and with defence /security assets.

Space will pave the way for quantum technologies in EU space infrastructure and
for space-based services (e.g. quantum inter-satellite communication, next
generation atomic clocks or quantum sensors). It is of the highest strategic
importance for the EU and its industry to be competitive and to become a global
leader in this area. It will provide enhanced services to EU citizens and allow
overcoming limitations and challenges of the current generation of quantum
technologies. Therefore, R&I shall foster the development and use of EU sourced
space qualified quantum components, including mission design, integration and
in-orbit demonstration and validating. The availability of adequate ground
segment infrastructure for testing and validating the quantum space mission
needs to be ensured too. Synergies with GOVSATCOM will be thought.

Space entrepreneurship ecosystems (incl. New Space and start-ups) and skills

Business development, acceleration and upscaling of start-ups will be fostered
across all space areas under the CASSINI Space Entrepreneurship Initiative.

CASSINI will provide support to business and innovation-friendly ecosystems,
including the strengthening business skills in the space market segments and
digital services based on space data. The objective is to make start-ups and
scale-ups investment-ready and able to secure venture capital funding. Synergies
with the InvestEU programme and the Space programme will be established.

Targeted and strategic actions supporting the EU space sector

Development of associated technologies and actions of key importance to the
sections described above will be pursued. These actions will at the same time
contribute to foster the competitiveness of the EU space sector, to reinforce
our capacity to use and access space and to perform R&I for the Space Programme.

These targeted and strategic actions will include the development of critical
technologies for EU non-dependence, the establishment of regular and
cost-effective flight opportunities for In-Orbit Demonstration/In-Orbit
Validation (IOD/IOV), space science activities, as well as outreach, education
and international cooperation activities.

Limiting participation in certain actions to Member States (and certain
candidate associated countries to Horizon Europe)

The Space research part of the Horizon Europe Programme is by default open to
the world, promoting international cooperation to drive scientific excellence.

However, an important aspect of the Space Programme consists in ensuring
security and strengthening strategic autonomy across key technologies and value
chains, taking advantage of the possibilities that space offers for the security
of the Union and its Member States. This objective requires special rules in
specific cases to set the requisite eligibility and participation conditions to
ensure the protection of the integrity, security and resilience of the Union and
its Member States. Hence, on an exceptional basis and duly justified, the work
programme may foresee a limited participation to entities from selected
countries. Such exceptional circumstances would relate to prevalent
considerations to safeguard the Union’s strategic assets, interests, autonomy or
security. Possibilities for such limitations are framed by Article 22(5)and by
Annex IV(11a) of the Horizon Europe Regulation. Out of 45 actions, 30 remain
fully open while 15 are proposed for limited participation

For six space actions, the restrictions to only Member States are justified
under Annex IV of the Horizon Europe Regulation which foresees that, where
appropriate the eligibility criteria of the Space Programme Regulation shall
apply for the Horizon Europe space research topics and actions. In the current
work programme this includes SST and GOVSATCOM which relate to sensitive Union
space infrastructure.

Nine space actions are open to Member States, Norway and Iceland under Protocol
31 of the EEA Agreement and the United Kingdom. These nine actions include
Copernicus Security R&D and actions involving technologies critical to strategic
autonomy/dual-use.

The eligibility to participate in such actions is limited to legal entities
established in the EU, Norway, Iceland and the United Kingdom. The eligibility
of entities established in the UK to participate is conditional upon reciprocity
of access to equivalent UK programmes for entities established in Member States,
which will be assessed by the Commission as soon as such programmes are
established and in any event before the signature of the grant agreements.
Should the UK not open the participation in its relevant programmes to entities
established in Member States, this condition would not be met and entities
established in the UK will not be eligible to participate in this topic.
