5. Relevant examples for Poland Space programme and associatedTechnical and industrial development

6. Astrium European and International Cooperations experience • Space in Europe has developed through European and international cooperation. • Astrium and its daughter companies have grown for 40 years in cooperation and have applied this expertise to support countries to develop their own Space Programme, capacities, and industrial expertise: • Tutorials and training in Astrium facilities or in Academia • Joint developments • Space Programmes support function of the countries wishes • All these successful space programmes have developed on 3 pillars: • Agency, • Academia • Industry (large and SMEs)

7. Lessons learnt from European cooperation : the case of Spain • Spain was already present in the Aeronautics domain (CASA) • Spain joined ESA in 1975, as a founding member and participates in all ESA programmes. • Fair return of public money required local industrial capacities with appropriate standards and processes and Spain started to build it. • Small companies have emerged • Astrium invested in a number of Spanish companies which are now major players • Spain is now developing an Optical Earth Observation satellite and a Radar Earth Observation satellite

8. The Czech ESA PECS example • Astrium involved Czech AICAS Institute for the accelerometer in the SWARM phase A based on MIMOSA experience in 2003 • ESA User consultation meeting selected SWARM in April 2004 • PECS charter between ESA and Czech Republic signed Nov 2004 • SWARM phase B/C/D competition in 2005: Astrium won with AICAS. • SWARM phase B conducted in 2006/2007. Accelerometer contract awarded to VZLU (production partner to AICAS). • Recently ESA stated that the contract allows Czech industry to: • Develop accelerometer technology to reach worldwide market standard • Enlarge its knowledge in methodology, simulations and technology procedures in various fields w.r.t. ESA ECSS standards • Develop manufacturing and testing skills compliant with ESA standards • Strengthening marketing, management, PA and testing skills

9. Astrium recent export EO programmes Astrium: the only space company in the world supporting countrieswith first class Operational Earth Observation Systems, based on smallsats • Korea • 2000: Kompsat-2 High Resolution platform • 2005: COMS satellite, training of Korean Engineers, Joint Development Team • 2006: Kompsat-3 very high resolution camera • Thailand • 2004: THEOS system, satellite, ground segment, development of applications and training of Thai engineers) • Taiwan • Formosat-2 (Astrosat-500) launched in 2004 • Taiwan engineers integrated in the Astrium project teams • Integration of the Satellite in Taiwan. • Algeria • 2006: development of a system based on Astrosat-100 • integration of one satellite in France and one in Algeria • training of the Algerian engineers

10. Astrium Earth Observation complete chain Advanced Technology (SiC, Focal Planes) Optical & radar Sensors Ground segments Satellites Operations Launchers Image Distribution & Remotesensing products (InfoTerra, Spot-Image)

11. A global approach to EO, TC and Navigation programmes including applications & services • Space fully embedded in the citizen life can create new sectors of economy • Already a strong position of Polish industry, SMEs and labs in these fields thanks to the EC and ESA programmes, for example in EO based land applications and services mainly jointly with Infoterra • ESA GSE Land - in the frame of PECS – Urban Mapping (TECHMEX) and Water Quality (IGIK) • FP6 Geoland - methodology for crop monitoring and yield assessment based on EO data (IGIK with Observatory Food Security and Crop Monitoring and Core Service Generic Land Cover) • FP7 Geoland2 – Geoland implementation (IGIK and SRC) (Space Research Institute) • Country specific markets can only be developed locally The whole chain has to be addressed since the beginning to be fully satisfactory

12. Conclusion

13. Astrium views and conclusion • The European space policy must be at the scale of Europe, however industrial capacity and space budget in Europe are limited • Space based commercial market is growing but engineers and experts are in short supply • Some key hardware arenot available in Europe • Poland has a long scientific/technical tradition and industrial capabilities • The European space sector welcomes Poland participation and support • Space in Poland can become an economic and technical driver with an early partnership with space industry and associated universities. Astrium has all the competencies and is fully committed to support Poland in such an endeavour in order to have “more Europe in space” and “more space in Europe”, together.
