10 questions to the workshop Looking for alternative space strategies 27th October 2005 "Looking for alternative space strategies" 27 Oct 2005
Poll objectives • The main objective of the workshop is to offer ideas on how ESA could improve its support to “alternative” space companies by offering optimized “alternative” programmes • The objective of the poll is to offer an input for the conclusions of the workshop • The conclusions will be communicated to key European space policy decision makers before the next ESA Council at Ministerial level. "Looking for alternative space strategies" 27 Oct 2005
10 Questions • 4 questions on alternative ESA programmes • strategies, programmes, budget, actions • 3 questions on industrial R&D programmes • priorities, instruments, ESA role • 3 questions on small institutional programmes • approach, ESA role, programmes "Looking for alternative space strategies" 27 Oct 2005
Question 1 Alternative space strategies (1) • « Conventional »space strategies are industrial strategies focusing on the participation to large institutional programmes • « Alternative »space strategiesare focusing on: • Provision of products or services for commercial satellite applications(1st category) OR • Integration of small space missions or scientific instruments (2nd category) "Looking for alternative space strategies" 27 Oct 2005
Alternative space strategies (2) Companies of 1st category are active in the 3 lower segments of the value chain: service, user equipment, lease of satellite capacity Companies of 2nd category are integratorsoffering low costsolutions for small spacemissions
1st question (1) • Is it important to better address alternative strategies within European space policy? • Provision of products or services for commercial satellite applications (1st category) "Looking for alternative space strategies" 27 Oct 2005
1st question (2) • Is it important to better address alternative strategies within European space policy? • Integration of small space missions or scientific instruments (2nd category) "Looking for alternative space strategies" 27 Oct 2005
Question 2 AlternativeESA programmes (1) • Present ESA programmes can be classified in: • « Institutional » programmes • Large Institutional programmes(GALILEO, GMES…) • Small Institutional programmes(AURORA, PRODEX, EMIR, MFC) • « Industrial R&D Programmes », for supporting companies in the development of their own products or services • ARTES-3, 4 & 5, GSTP, DUP • ESA presently does not support military nor dual use (civil + military) programme • « Alternative » ESA programmes are the ones offering to industry the opportunity to develop alternative strategies: Industrial R&D programmes AND Small institutional programmes

3rd question • How important is it to allocate a larger percentage of governmental space budgets to alternative space programmes? "Looking for alternative space strategies" 27 Oct 2005
Question 4Actions • Conventional space companies are efficiently defending their own interests through a dedicated association, Eurospace, and have a strong influence on the European Space Policy. • At the contrary, alternative companies are usually small and are not organised in international lobby groups.

Question 6R&D Instruments • ESA plays various roles ranging from a “customer” (R&D activities defined by ESA) to a “catalyst” (R&D activities defined by industry) • “Invitation-To-Tender” (ITT) • A specific development is defined by ESA with detail requirements and specifications • “Call for Proposals” • Thematic priorities are defined by ESA • Industry can propose its own developments: yearly calls in EU FP6, quarterly callsin ARTES-3, continuously open in ARTES-4
6th question • How do you assess the importance of the following instruments to support industrial R&D in the space domain? • Invitations-To-Tender (such as in TRP) • Yearly Call for Proposals (such as in EU FP6) • Quarterly Calls for Proposals (such as in ARTES-3) • Continuously open Calls for Proposals (such as in ARTES-4) • Your answer Ranking by order of priority (1, 2, 3, 4)
