NEOS-QUICK - Testing of Novel Earth Observation Systems for Supporting Quality Control Activities required by Kyoto Protocol
The objective of NEOS-QUICK was to develop novel Earth Observation applications for the mapping of Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) parameters as specified by the reporting standards of the Kyoto Protocol.
NEST - Next-Generation Equipment for Satellite Testing
The Power Subsystem Special Check-Out Equipment (SCOE) is a central component of the Electrical Ground Support Equipment. It provides power and control signals to the satellite during assembly, testing and launch preparation until just a few seconds prior to lift-off. The activity aims at reducing the manufacturing complexity of the overall Power SCOE system emphasising standardised components (leading to reduced costs and improved reliability) and making the system operator’s user interface more intuitive (leading to easier operations procedures and to a high acceptance by the test engineers).
NetMSI - New Technologies for the Multimedia Satellite Infrastructure
The objective of this project was to contribute to the development of key enabling technologies to support expanding opportunities.
ODILIA - Mobility of Visually Impaired Pedestrians by User-Oriented Information and Satellite-Based Navigation
The aim of ODILIA is the development of a demonstrator navigation system for blind and visually impaired people. Regarding all system components, the system is tailored to the special user requirements.
OEGNOS - Austrian EGNOS Data Server – Business Plan
Consequently the Austrian EGNOS data server (OEGNOS) shall provide an EGNOS data stream using authenticated terrestrial communication means and integrate additional local and regional meteorological information (ionospheric and tropospheric information) to provide higher position accuracy and continuous service availability. Specialised hardware or software shall be avoided, instead, standardized protocols shall be used in order to favour market penetration.
OEGNOS 2 - Austrian EGNOS Data Server
The motivation for the ASAP 6 project OEGNOS 2 was the conclusion of the business plan of OEGNOS indicated that the service idea is viable, if the technical feasibility can be shown.
OMI-ASAP - Validaton of Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) Ground UV Products
Good quality UV maps are only achievable by using satellite information and satellite data. The present project deals with the validation of the UV products retrieved by the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) instrument on board of NASA/EOS AURA satellite. The project is closely connected to the ESA project (ID 2945) “Validation of OMI products over Europe with ground-based UV instruments”.
ONE-SAT-ILS - One Satellite Geolocation System
The ONE-SAT-ILS project aimed to select one or two of the discussed solutions with the potential for implementation in a product. Potential was defined to mean technical feasibility in terms of effort (time and money) but also in terms of accuracy and performance. Furthermore, the chosen solutions were implemented in a prototype in order to evaluate the potential described above. The results obtained from ONE-SAT-ILS will be integrated in the Siemens ILS system in a subsequent project.
PAT+ - Product Access Technology for Pléiades User Services
Pléiades is a French Earth Observation satellite program carried out in cooperation with Austria, Belgium, Italy, Spain, and Sweden. Pléiades has also achieved the status of a "GMES Contributing Mission". PAT+ is an innovative technology for online data access to the Pléiades Ortho Products covering large geographical areas.
PAT+3 - Product Access Technology for Pléiades User Services (Phase 3)
PAT+ is an innovative software technology for online data access to the Pléiades Ortho Products covering large geographical areas and will be supplied by EOX. A requirements analysis and design study was carried out in previous project phases jointly with the designated Pléiades data distributor, the French company Spot Image. The current status of this development (spring 2010) is that EOX have completed the detailed design and performed the operational readiness review jointly with Spot Image.
PICAM - Planetary Ion Camera
The instrument PICAM is an ion mass spectrometer operating as an all-sky camera for charged particles to study the chain of processes by which neutrals are ejected from the soil, eventually ionised and transported through the environment of Mercury.
PICAM 3 - Planetary Ion Camera for the BepiColombo Mercury Planetary Orbiter
The instrument PICAM combines the features of an ion mass spectrometer with imaging capabilities for charged particles that will allow to study the chain of processes by which neutrals are ejected from the soil, eventually ionised and transported through the environment of Mercury. As a result one will better understand the formation of Mercury's tenuous atmosphere and the plasma within the cavity encompassed by its magnetic field.
PISA - Position Information System for Time- and Location-based Analysis
Within the scope of the project PISA a system will be developed which registers vehicles’ movements by utilizing GPS technology. At the same time, data about actual weather and road conditions (e.g. rainfall, ground temperature) are collected. Both are stored in a central database, which is connected to a geo-information system.
PONTES - Positioning and navigation of visually impaired pedestrians in an urban environment
PPP-Serve - Network Based GNSS Phase Biases to Enhance PPP Applications – A New Service Level of GNSS Reference Station Provider
The PPP-Serve project aims at the development and realization of adequate algorithms to enhance fast GNSS based point positioning at cm level.
PPos-Taxi - Efficient Taxi Allocation Based on Precise Vehicle Positioning
The project PPos-Taxi represents an innovative contribution to an efficient allocation of taxis based on precise vehicle positioning.
PRESENT - Preparing for the ESA Sentinel Missions
PURSIT - Galileo Public Regulated Service Signal Simulation and Position, Velocity, and Time Calculation
QCS - Quantum Correlation in Space
In this experiment entangled photon pairs were created on La Palma, Spain. Then, one of these photons was sent to Tenerife, 144 km away. Additionally, random numbers were generated on both islands so that the way the correlations of the entangled photons were measured was independent of the photons. The spatial separation and timing of these actions was precisely arranged to show the counterintuitive nature of our world. Although this work does not completely rule out any "intuitive" theory it is the single most conclusive experiment of its type at the present time.
