  1. ATLAS-1, Belgian Space Policy and ? A personal view D. Fonteyn DG Research programmesandaerospaceapplications

  2. NOT Historical overview List of achievements Budgets BUT Earth observation in Belgium Parallel with own scientific experience

  3. Belgian Space Policy since end 80’s: • Space policy implemented through ESA • Priority on Earth Observation • Climate “Global Change” • Scientific expertise • In response to societal challenges • Examples: • Spacelab, EURECA(ORA) • MIRAS, SPOT VEGETATION

  4. VEGETATION: • Multilateral international cooperation • National research programme supporting this priority (land) • SPOT-Vegetation processing and archiving facility • Towards operational capacity

  5. Example: Brazil deforestation

  6. VEGETATION: • National research programme • Processing, archiving and distribution • Other Belgian priority: Technology development (PROBA), small missions Converging into

  7. “Full” Belgian “small” mission in ESA framework Platform, instrument, PI, operations = Belgian Belgiancontributionto GMES

  8. Launch: 2013 Satisfying a large user community

  9. ATLAS-1, data qualityvs ~ week coverage 0-D → 2-D model chemicalcomposition

  10. ESA/Envisat Priority for Belgium Scientific Expertise !! Research satellite NRT data 3-D → 4-D Var chemical data assimilation → NRT 9 day forecast

  11. Scientific knowledge and instrument development Mars Modelling Mars96, MarsExpress, Exomars

  12. Earth Observation ATLAS-1: NOW?? BE small missions

  13. Earth Observation A limb remote sounding experiment on a micro-satellite proposed by the Belgian Institute for Space AeronomyTHEALTIUSMISSIONAtmospheric Limb Tracker for Investigation of the Upcoming Stratosphere

  14. Earth Observation Development ALTIUS BE small missions Technology meets science Keep momentum

  15. Earth Observation Scientific knowledge BE small missions Total concept Strong BE involvement GMES End User driven

  16. Earth Observation Weather story: TIROS 1: 1960 Improvement quality weather forecast only 90’s 30 – 40 year delay GMES no time towaste Not at the cost of R&D budget
