Technology Developments at ESA: ITTs, contracts, … how does it work? Advanced Studies and Technology Preparation Division 1 ESA BUDGETS FOR 2009 Member State Contributions to ESA 2009 income from MS 2818,998 M€ M€: Million of Euro January 2009 Advanced Studies and Technology Preparation Division 2 ESA technology activities “Industrial” return Much of the actual technology R&D is performed by European and Canadian businesses and universities awarded ESA research contracts – 90% of all Agency spending goes on contracts with industry and academia with around 1000 contracts issued per year. Why are the technology programmes needed? The programmes serve both to help define ESA's future technology needs and also eventually fulfil them. Innovative technologies open up new possibilities for space missions and applications. Advanced Studies and Technology Preparation Division 3 ESA: Technology business opportunities Who works with ESA technology programmes? On a general basis all firms (the Agency uses the term to refer to research institutions as well as companies) of ESA Member States can participate in ESA procurements. How do you find out about upcoming opportunities? ESA operates an online information system called the Electronic Mail Invitation to Tender System (EMITS) for potential bidders to access information about current and planned ESA procurements for the year ahead. Access to EMITS is password protected, but open to all Member State firms following a simple registration process. ESA regularly issues Invitations to Tender (ITTs) for programme projects on its EMITS website.

The General Support Technology Programme (GSTP) takes previously proven innovations through to succeeding stages of engineering, finally evolving fully-tested hardware ready for adoption by future missions. The GSTP is an optional ESA programme, open for ESA Member States. The Science Core Technology Programme (CTP) Has the objective to ensure early and effective preparation of ESA's future science missions by advance development of the critical technologies needed to make them happen. CTP is funded by D/SRE. Advanced Studies and Technology Preparation Division 7 Incentive schemes: For New Member States an incentive scheme is in force during the first, usually 6 years, to facilitate integration in ESA environment. It has been applied to Portugal and now ongoing for Greece, Luxembourg and the Czech Republic (where an AO was recently issued). European Cooperating States (ECS): Hungary, Romania and Poland have an special arrangement, ~2M€ / year for 5 years preparing for possible membership Advanced Studies and Technology Preparation Division 8 ESA industry portal: http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Industry/ Advanced Studies and Technology Preparation Division 9 EMITS Invitation to Tender System Advanced Studies and Technology Preparation Division 10 ESA Tender Process: General Conditions of Tender for ESA Contracts The General Conditions of Tender apply to all Invitations to Tender (ITT) and Requests for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the Agency, except for where they are modified or amended by the Special Conditions of Tender issued as part of the ITT or RFQ.

Decision to have dedicated instrumentation workshops for L missions  IXO instrumentation workshop held 30th March, outcome included in the current TDP update  Laplace Jupiter mission instrumentation workshop held 11-12 June 09, instrumentation TDP in progress Advanced Studies and Technology Preparation Division 19 Schedule aspects • Cosmic Vision initial schedule is so far approximately respected  TBD launches in 2017-2018  Start of implementation phase in 2012 • The TDP implementation is obviously on the critical path. For avoiding administrative delays, the following approach is recommended.  Elaborate/update the TDP for all M missions by the Oct 2009  Submission to Nov SPC/IPC approval, with the mention “subject to the mission down-selection,  Implementation of TDP immediately after the M mission downselection. Non-selected M missions will be removed from the plan.
