Call for proposals 2023 - STRATEGIC AUTONOMY IN DEVELOPING, DEPLOYING AND USING GLOBAL SPACE-BASED INFRASTRUCTURES, SERVICES, APPLICATIONS AND DATA 2023 (HORIZON-CL4-2023-SPACE-01)
Open Call
Scope:
The areas of R&I, which need to be addressed to tackle the above-expected outcomes are:
1) R&I for Earth observation based on a network of small satellites with innovative capabilities, e.g. high revisit times, high reconfigurability, enhanced autonomy, high spatial resolution, including for video, seizing the full innovation potential of low cost and/or disruptive and sustainable approaches.
2) R&I on Satellite Data Management and Processing including image processing for end-to-end performance improvement (also with regards to power consumption, e.g. using AI, simplification of data management, data fusion, advanced processing units, mass memory) and on infrastructures and networks for ground processing and virtual network functions (e.g. inter-operability, massive data management, cloud processing, cybersecurity).
3) R&I to identify, develop and implement AI in industrial processes means fostering digitalisation (e.g. virtual design, digital twins, virtual testing, simulators) for Earth observation including software validation and verification in order to enhance overall end-to-end system performance, increase efficiency and reduce development and AIT time and costs in order to attain Rapid Development, Production and Assembly Integration and Testing (AIT) processes and operations support in satellite life cycle.
This call covers the following topics:
- HORIZON-CL4-2023-SPACE-01-11: End-to-end Earth observation systems and associated services
- HORIZON-CL4-2023-SPACE-01-12: Future Space Ecosystem and Enabling Technologies
- HORIZON-CL4-2023-SPACE-01-13: Future Space Ecosystem: Management and Coordination Activity

- HORIZON-CL4-2023-SPACE-01-22: New space transportation solutions and services
- HORIZON-CL4-2023-SPACE-01-23: Modern, flexible and efficient European test, production and launch facilities
- HORIZON-CL4-2023-SPACE-01-31: Copernicus for Atmosphere and Climate Change, including CO2
- HORIZON-CL4-2023-SPACE-01-32: Copernicus for Emergency Management
- HORIZON-CL4-2023-SPACE-01-33: Copernicus in-situ component
- HORIZON-CL4-2023-SPACE-01-34: Copernicus for Marine Environment Monitoring
- HORIZON-CL4-2023-SPACE-01-62: Quantum Communication Technologies for space systems
- HORIZON-CL4-2023-SPACE-01-63: Quantum Space Gravimetry Phase-A Study
- HORIZON-CL4-2023-SPACE-01-71: Scientific exploitation of space data
- HORIZON-CL4-2023-SPACE-01-72: Space technologies for European non-dependence and competitiveness
