ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use 3

Basic EO trends: - Higher resolution

and new wavelength ! higher data volumes

- Congestion in traditional telecom means (X-band)

- Need for near-real-time data and rapid tasking

EDRS capabilities: -  Increased contact time - Higher data rates - Higher capacity -  Flexible data distribution

EDRS programme basic principles


Service-oriented approach:

-  Operational system able to fulfil user requirements with required service availability (redundancy)

-  Open system able to serve all interested user communities with different technologies to meet different needs

Public-Private Partnership:

-  Selection of EDRS Operator / Service Provider -  Operator owner of EDRS system infrastructure -  Commitment to operate EDRS system -  Provide services to ESA users -  Commercialise data relay services to all interested user

communities

Foster creation of data relay market

EDRS programme basic principles


Data relay services retrieving data from LEO satellites to ground

–  Very high data rate at 1.8 Giga bit per second through optical Inter-satellite Link (ISL)

–  High data rate of 600 Mega bit per second (Mbps) through optical ISL (possibility of data encryption on board GEO)

–  Medium data rate 150-300 Mbps through Ka ISL

–  Data provided to customers either directly to EDRS ground station (5-6 m antenna) installed on User Premises or via terrestrial links from EDRS Central Hubs

Rapid Tasking service re-programming LEO satellites

–  A few kilo bits per second through optical ISL

–  Up to 1 Mbps through Ka ISL

EDRS targeted services


ESA as “anchor user”: GMES programme provides start-up user -  Data relay service for Sentinel-1+2 for min. 50% of mission data

-  Embarkation of data relay terminal

-  EDRS system deployment in time with Sentinel constellation launch schedule

-  Operational showcase for other potential users

Any other potential EO operator and in particular military EO systems

EDRS Space Segment architecture

Space segment formed by 2 elements: Piggyback payload (EDRS-A) -  On board commercial operator satellite to guarantee early in-orbit system

element (by 2014) available to provide services to first users (GMES)

Dedicated satellite (EDRS-C) -  Fully controlled by EDRS Operator (by 2015)

=> High service availability through in orbit redundancy

Possible extension if required by user demand (not covered by currently defined programme)

-  Other payloads to address other users’ needs (e.g. S-band) -  Additional elements (higher system capacity and/or availability)


EDRS system Capabilities

9

Through EDRS-A piggy back payload: –  Optical ISL data relay services (1.8 Gbps/600 Mbps) –  Optical ISL rapid tasking services (few kbps, through Eutelsat GEO encrypted TM/TC link) –  Ka ISL data relay services (up to 300 Mbps) –  Ka ISL rapid tasking service (up to 1 Mbps through dedicated RF data link) –  High performance Feeder Link in Ka EESS bands (26 GHz) with European coverage –  By-passable data encryption for the optical data relay service at 600 Mbps only

Through EDRS-C satellite: –  Optical data relay services (1.8 Gbps/600 Mbps) –  Optical rapid tasking services (few kbps, through ASV EDRS-C GEO encrypted TM/TC link) –  No Ka ISL relay services –  High performance Feeder Link in Ka EESS bands (26 GHz) with European coverage –  By-passable data encryption for the optical data relay service at 600 Mbps only


HOSTED PAYLOAD ON BOARD EDRS-C SATELLITE



AO process - Objectives and Principles

"  Available resource on EDRS-C (power, mass, volume) is an opportunity to fly additional payloads

"  Does not need to be innovative or telecom related payload

"  “Embarkation” fee charged to the Hosted Payload provider covering: •  Integration of the HP onto the host satellite, •  Support of the host satellite manufacturer for ground testing, •  Launch & LEOP, •  Support of the host satellite manufacturer for IOT (command and control tasks)

"  Will bring needed financial contribution to the tight EDRS budget

"  Conditions for the provision of the hosted payload will be agreed in a “Mission Implementation Agreement” between ESA and the HP provider

"  Operations fee to be agreed with EDRS operator in a separate agreement


AO process - Funding

"  Embarkation fee •  The payload proponent must come with available funds to pay for

the embarkation fee •  Any source of funding private/public can be considered •  Total/partial ESA contribution possible but needs to be backed up

with relevant ESA programme/directorate and corresponding national delegation

"  The development cost of the payload is outside the AO hosting Mission Implementation Agreement

•  Could be partially covered by other parallel ESA development contract to be indicated in the proposals


AO process - Mission Implementation Agreement main principles

"  Hosted Payload will be a Customer Furnished Item (CFI) to be provided by the Proponent to the Agency, which will provide it to the EDRS Operator for integration and embarkation

"  Ownership of the HP will remain with the HP Provider

"  Intellectual Property Rights vested in the HP Provider will remain with the HP provider

"  Exclusive access and exploitation rights of the HP by the HP provider will be subject to separate Operational agreement between the HP Provider and the EDRS Operator

"  In case the HP is delivered late, the HP provider undertakes to deliver a dummy payload at no cost

"  Related frequency filing/licensing will be the responsibility of the HP Provider.

"  DRAFT MIA will be provided to down-selected proponents as a basis for the dialogue phase before final proposal submission


AO process - Schedule

AO issued on 11th August 2011

1.  15th Sept - Notice of Intent to be submitted

2.  22nd Sept - Workshop for information dissemination and Q&A sessions (including one to one sessions)

3.  21st October - Submission of proposal

4.  Initial down selection

5.  Technical and contractual dialogue

6.  15th December - Final proposal submission

7.  Final selection and negotiation in December/January

AO issued including - IRD-0


AO process - Key Inputs/Outputs

"  The proposal for the 21st of October no longer requires a statement of compliance to the IRD-0. The rest of the proposal guidelines (chapter 8) remains valid.

•  The IRD-0 provided in the AO is indicative and not yet final •  The C-band mission was removed from the EDRS-C satellite since issuing the AO

"  Additional inputs will be provided following first down-selection of HP proponents: •  An updated IRD-1

•  and a draft MIA

"  Following a Technical and Contractual dialogue, the final proposal will need to include additional key documents

•  HP ICD version 0 •  Hosted payload Test Plan (AIT and IOT ) version 0 •  Revised Mission Implementation Agreement


AO process - Key message for selection

"  First down selection will be mainly based on

•  Initial assessment of compatibility with EDRS-C (technical + programmatic)

•  Risk assessment (technical + programmatic) •  Evidence of funding coverage (public and/or private) of all

mission elements (payload, embarkation, operations) on the basis of letters of support from funding sources (private/public)

•  Level of compliance with contractual principles

# Evidence of funding is often missing, it is key to provide a convincing proposal on this particular aspect


AO process - Key message for selection

"  Same main criteria will apply with a more detailed and more mature proposal in particular with regards to

•  the MIA including the rights and obligations between ESA and the HP providers

•  Final and solid evidence of funding
