MOSAR

mosar logo 2019

MOSAR aims to develop, integrate and demonstrate technologies required to enable a fundamental shift of paradigm with satellites (and more widely spacecrafts) manufacturing and commercial space exploitation.

Duration: 2019-03-01 until 2021-02-28
Project partners: • Space Application Services
• DLR, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt
• GMV Innovating Solutions
• Thales Alenia Space
• Thales in the UK
• SITAEL
• MAG SOAR
• University of Strathclyde
• Ellidiss

Applications: standardizing satellite components, technology development for satellite maintenance
Funding: EU 2020, Funding No 821996

Project details

Since commercial exploitation of satellites was endeavored more than 50 years ago (Telstar 1 in 1962), commercial use of space became a huge and very much strategic market, reaching ~50 billion of USD in 2004, and in the range of 256 billion of USD in 2013 (OECD global estimates, 2014). Fierce competition is to be expected in the worldwide space industry to obtain major shares of the key commercial space segments. Offering cost effective, performant, reliable, scalable and flexible solutions will be essential to make the European space industry spearheading strategic segments of the commercial space. The development of novel, European technologies that would allow standardizing satellites components, facilitating their assembly, reducing time between customer’s orders and commissioning in space, repairing and upgrading components directly in orbit instead of replacing entirely a deprecated or damaged satellite, would provide extremely valuable competitive assets to establish European leadership in a number of key commercial space segments.Leveraging the outcomes of the Space Robotics Technologies SRC building blocks (from Call 1 / OG1,2,3,4,5), MOSAR aims to develop, integrate and demonstrate such technologies required to enable a fundamental shift of paradigm with satellites (and more widely spacecrafts) manufacturing and commercial space exploitation.
