  3. European Space Operations Centre The Purpose of ESA • ESA is an intergovernmental organisation with a mission to provide and promote, for exclusively peaceful purposes: • Space science, research and technology • Space applications • ESA achieves this through: • space activities and programmes • long-term space policy • a specific industrial policy • coordinating European national space programmes

  4. European Space Operations Centre • ESA has 17 Member States • Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom • Canada takes part in some projects under a cooperation agreement

  5. European Space Operations Centre The ESA Programmes • All Member States participate in activities and a common set of programmes related to space science (mandatory programmes) • In addition, members choose their level of participation in the following optional programmes: • Manned spaceflight • Microgravity research • Earth observation • Telecommunications • Navigation • Launcher Development

  6. European Space Operations Centre ESA Governing Bodies PROGRAMME BOARDS • COMMUNICATIONS • EARTH OBSERVATION • LAUNCHERS • MANNED SPACEFLIGHT • MICROGRAVITY • NAVIGATION COUNCIL SCIENCE PROGRAMME COMMITTEE (SPC) ADMINISTRATIVE & FINANCE COMMITTEE (AFC) INDUSTRIAL POLICY COMMITTEE (IPC) INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE (IRC) DIRECTOR GENERAL

  12. European Space Operations Centre Ground-based communication ESOC’s Role and Responsibilities ESOC Ground Segment ~15 % of mission budget ½ development, ½ operation

  13. European Space Operations Centre • Prime responsibility: Support ESA missions within areas of responsibility • Carry-out R&D to maintain flight operations expertise • Provide services to External Customers utilising spare capacity • Roughly 70-80%, 10-15%, 10-15% work volume

  14. European Space Operations Centre • ESOC: Mission Operations Centre responsible for operation of ESA missions • Mission Operations Department - Preparation and execution of operations • Engineering Department - Provision of tools • All facilities certified according to latest ISO Standard (ISO 9001:2000) • Procurement of Services and systems with European Industry • - Maintain core competencies within ESA • - Strengthen competition • - Distribute risks using frame Contracts

  15. European Space Operations Centre • Ca. 240 ESA staff and 400 Industrial staff on-site at Darmstadt • Ground facilities investment value ca. 1 Beuro • Two Control Centres and 7 ground stations • Annual „turnover“ ca. 100 Meuro • 70-80% of budget spent in European Industry • 60 LEOP‘s, including Services for other Operators • 44 missions operated over 35 years • 4-satellite Cluster mission, tandem ERS/Envisat operations • In-orbit rescue • Deep Space: Navigation and satellite hibernation and reactivation

  16. European Space Operations Centre ESA‘s Mission Model (1) Operational missions * operated by NASA
