Expected Outcome:
Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:
- Contribution to the overall objective of launch cost/price reduction by 50% by 2030 (with respect to A6/VegaC cost/price 2021 economic conditions), for the benefit of EU Space programmes implementation and towards reinforcing Europe's independent capacity to access to space.
- Contribute to expand commercial space transportation offer and services with new space transportation solutions. The objective is to contribute to double the accessible new space transportation service market to European industry by 2030.
- Improve cost efficiency of European test, production and space launch facilities.
- Matured technologies, standardised technology for improving cost efficiency, interoperability of access to space ground facilities in Europe, ground assets portability to speed-up deployments.
These outcomes will contribute to enhance Europe's strategic autonomy and sector competitiveness, in line with the Expected Impact of the destination.
Scope:Cost reduction and improving flexibility of European launch systems are the main challenges in order to foster European industry competitiveness on the global market.
Europe needs to improve the cost efficiency of the access to space ground facilities and of launch systems production and operations for the launchers essential for the implementation of EU space programme. It could benefit from the current transformational wave in industry, which has the
