Framework Programmes
7th Framework Programme for research
and development - FP7 (2007 – 2013)
About € 1.4 billion over 7 years
Two main areas of research:
Global Monitoring of Environment and
Security - GMES
Strengthening Space Foundations

9. The EU Space Programme
FP-7 main topics
I. GMES: Major investment in
satellites (the Sentinel family)
and
operational services (Land,
Emergency, Marine, Atmosphere,
Security)
II. Strengthening Space Foundations:
Space Technologies, Exploration,
Space Transportation, Space Science

12. GMES: dedicated space infrastructure
Sentinel 1 – SAR imaging (radar data) (2011)
• All weather, day/night applications, interferometry
• successor of ENVISAT
Sentinel 2 – Multispectral imaging (2012)
• for land applications, e.g. urban, forest, agriculture
• successor of SPOT, Landsat
Sentinel 3 – Ocean & Land monitoring (2012)
• Wide-swath ocean color, vegetation, sea/land surface
temperature, ocean altimetry
Sentinel 4 – Geostationary atmospheric (2017)
• Atmospheric composition monitoring, trans-boundary
pollution
Sentinel 5 – Low-orbit atmospheric (2019)
• Atmospheric composition monitoring
12
14. Atmosphere
Monitoring Atmospheric
Composition and Climate
(MACC)
Combines computer models with
observations to monitor the composition
of the Earth’s atmosphere and predict
regional air quality
Greenhouse gases, aerosols, reactive
gases such as tropospheric ozone and
nitrogen dioxide
Air quality, climate forecasting,
stratospheric ozone and solar radiation
14
15. Marine
MyOcean
Assimilation of space
and in situ data into 3D
models, representing
the physical state of the
ocean
Observing, monitoring, forecasting temperature,
salinity, and currents in oceans and seas
Observation data: Sea level, Ocean colour, Sea
surface, temperature, Sea Ice & wind
Seven Monitoring and Forecasting Centres to
serve the Global Ocean, the Arctic, Baltic Sea, the
Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.

II. The EU Space Research Programme
III. Global Monitoring for Environment
and Security (GMES)
IV. Research in Strengthening Space
Foundations
V. International Cooperation
16
17. Strengthening Space Foundations
Focus on upstream aspects, i.e.:
innovative launch/propulsion
technologies
Space science and exploitation of
science data
Space technologies and
components
Open to international cooperation
17
18. Space Exploration
To improve in the long term
the capability for interplanetary travel
the access to planets’ surfaces
the capability to select, collect and
return samples
processing and analysing the huge
amount of data from space missions
18
19. The Security of Space
Infrastructure and Earth
Threats:
Space debris and collision between
spacecraft
Earth might be threatened by collision
with comets and asteroids - NEOs
Apophis asteroid 2029 flyby in 30000 km distance
in case of a collision – impact of 100 000 traditional nuclear
bombs
Hence the necessity
to improve space monitoring capabilities
to improve the coordination between space
powers
19
20. European Space Situational
Awareness – SSA
Develop a capability for the
monitoring and surveillance of the
space infrastructure and of space
debris
Space weather: impact on telecom
infrastructure, power transmission, air
transport etc.
Active debris removal
