User Segment Developments Task A1: Ease LCT (v2.2) Embarkation – “Plug&Play”
EDRS/GlobeNet – User Segment Developments
Objective of activities:
• Addressed user group/market segment:
– Medium to large size LEO satellites (> 300 kg; 50-200 M€ each LEO), high performance
• Achieve straight forward embarkation on user platform to minimize related cost
Short/mid term roadmap (initial feasibility study activities to be initiated in 2014):
• Consult ESA & Industry in order to develop a small to large LEO worst case μ-vibration spectrum
• Trade-offs “Passive damping + JAU” vs. “Active damping” solutions
• Activities to be coordinated with DLR/ESA study for industrialization of LCT (as proposed by TESAT)
Checkpoint at the end of initial feasibility study to define way forward, e.g. commonalities/synergies with
• Industrialization of LCT with modular technology & LCT v3.0 proposed national developments
• EDRS-D (GlobeNet) design & integration
Implementation roadmap:
• Begin of design phase in 2015 with subsequent development (dependent on launching customer)
• Objective to have “P&P” PFM available for 2017 (TBC)

• Host Platform Instrument/Pointing Terminal requirements (eg. (Sub-)Aperture size, vCPA, FPA/PAA…)
• LEO User ConUse (eg. Planning constraints – Coarse & Fine pointing, Acquisition algorithms…)
• EDRS System ConOps to incorporate LEO 1064nm CoreKit ‘Terminals’ (scheduling, …)
• Related cost improvements (CAPEX – RE)
• EDRS Service ‘Wrap’ (OPEX eg. Pricing/min, slot priorities, arbitration..)
• Business Case
• Implementation plan (NRE, Timelines, Dependancies…)
Checkpoint at the end of initial feasibility study to define way forward:
• Technical, Business & Commercial feasibility
Implementation Roadmap:
• Implementation of feasibility study (first step – Q4/2014-Q1-2015, second step – 2015 (TBC)

Objective of activities:
• Addressed user group/market segment: Basic performance LEO users using direct 1550 nm to ground
• Access 1550nm emerging direct downlink users
– via LEO-GEO transmit capability demonstration
– to enable high availability of urgent data relay in near-realtime (5-10% of bulk data, overcoming cloud blockage)
– improve availability of optical LEO to ground based systems
• Evolution of low-cost direct downlink terminals into GEO data-relay capable terminals
Short/mid term roadmap:
• Feasibility study (planned for initiation in 2015), covering
– Development LEO-terminal modifications required (aperture, power, …, S/W algorithm for acquisition & tracking)
– Link-budget calculations
