The safety and security of European economies, societies and citizens rely on space-based applications such as communication, navigation and observation. However, due to the growing complexity of the orbital environment, space-based assets are increasingly at risk from collision with other operational spacecraft or debris. At the same time, objects may re-enter and cause damage on the ground. To mitigate these risks, we need to be able to survey and track such objects, and to provide this information to a variety of stakeholders. The Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) Support Framework was established by the European Union in 2014 with the Decision 541/2014/EU of the European Parliament and the Council (SST Decision). This Decision foresaw the creation of an SST Consortium currently composed of seven EU Member States – France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania and Spain. An SST system is a network of ground-based and space-based sensors capable of surveying and tracking space objects, together with processing capabilities aiming to provide data, information and services on space objects that orbit around the Earth. Since 2016, the SST Consortium and the European Union Satellite Centre (SatCen) have worked together to develop a European SST capability, and formed the SST Cooperation. The Consortium’s Member States have networked their assets to provide, through the SST Service Provision Portal operated by SatCen, a set of SST services to all EU countries, EU institutions, spacecraft owners and operators, and civil protection authorities. The SST services assess the risk of in-orbit collisions and uncontrolled re-entry of space debris into the Earth’s atmosphere, and detect and characterise in-orbit fragmentations. The SST Consortium EU Member States are represented through their national designated entities: France (CNES), Germany (German Space Agency at DLR), Italy (ASI), Poland (POLSA), Portugal (PT MoD), Romania (ROSA) and Spain (CDTI).

EUROCONTROL
EUROCONTROL’s All Together Now 2024 video on the importance of prioritising first rotation explains why it is crucially important that the first flight of the day leaves on time, as each minute of delay for the first rotation is quadrupled by the time of the last rotation – and knock-on delays mount risking night curfew issues. Prioritising first rotation is one of five priorities EUROCONTROL encourages aviation to focus on as we prepare for busy summer traffic together. The other priorities include disciplined flight plan execution to ensure predictability, delivering agreed capacities, realistic schedules including turnaround times and adverse weather management. Our All Together Now 2024 videos are part of the EUROCONTROL Network Manager’s “All Together Now 2024” campaign to manage busy summer air traffic across the European aviation network. Central to the campaign is our hands-on All Together Now 2024 guide for flight dispatchers, pilots, air traffic controllers, flow management positions and airports that recommends how each can play their part in ensuring efficient air traffic this summer and best cooperate with the EUROCONTROL Network Manager Operations Centre by taking a network view.

After years of development and a rigorous testing programme, ESA’s EarthCARE satellite has left Munich, Germany, and is now on its away to SpaceX’s launch site in Vandenberg, California. Once it arrives, it will be put into storage for a few weeks until it is time to ready the satellite for liftoff – which is scheduled to launch in May on a Falcon 9 rocket. The Earth Cloud Aerosol and Radiation Explorer, or EarthCARE for short, is the most complex Earth Explorer mission to date. The new satellite will look at the role that clouds and aerosols play in heating and cooling Earth’s atmosphere – contributing to our understanding of climate change. With its unique set of four instruments, EarthCARE will examine the role clouds and aerosols play in reflecting solar radiation back into space and also in trapping infrared radiation emitted from Earth’s surface. EarthCARE is a joint venture between ESA and JAXA, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. This video features interviews with Simonetta Cheli, Director of Earth Observation Programmes at ESA, Thorsten Fehr, ESA’s EarthCARE Mission Scientist, Dirk Bernaerts, ESA’s EarthCARE Project Manager and Eiichi Tomita, JAXA’s EarthCARE/CPR Project Manager.

In this video, we explain the vision, scope, and goals of FP5-TRANS4M-R, a research and development project for rail freight transport funded by the European Union. About FP5-TRANS4M-R: FP5-TRANS4M-R’s overall goal is to establish rail freight as the backbone of a low-emission, resilient European logistics chain which fulfills end-user requirements to full satisfaction. Two technological clusters, ‘Full Digital Freight Train Operation (FDFTO)’ and ‘Seamless Freight Operation’, will develop, validate, and demonstrate FP5-TRANS4M-R technologies, in line with an integrated cross-sector systemic approach. Integrating Digital Automatic Coupler (DAC)-enabled solutions with software-defined systems and digital rail services will ensure increased capacity, higher throughput, and swifter transportation. It will strengthen the cross-border coordination and cooperation between rail infrastructure managers and deliver optimised rail network management. FP5-TRANS4M-R's seamless, integrated, interoperable, validated, and EU-wide authorised solutions aim to achieve a single EU rail freight technology framework with strictly managed interfaces for effective system integration and seamless operation across borders, actors and modes. These objectives represent the foundations, framework and motivation behind the project which will have a significant impact on the EU transport and logistics sector. FP5-TRANS4M-R brings together 75 partners from across the rail sector including end-users, industrial partners, railway undertakings, operators, wagon keepers, SMEs and academia. The project will deliver on the rail freight sector’s commitment to increasing the modal split share to 50% by 2030, revoking the causality between economic growth in Europe and pollution and having a positive impact on European citizens’ quality of life. https://projects.rail-research.europa.eu/eurail-fp5/

In its latest test of readiness for space, ESA’s Hera spacecraft for planetary defence is being operated for around three weeks in hard vacuum, while being subjected to the same temperature profiles it will experience during its journey to the Didymos binary asteroid system. The 1.6 × 1.6 × 1.7 m spacecraft was slid inside the 4.5-m diameter, 11.8-m long Phenix thermal vacuum chamber at ESA’s ESTEC Test Centre in the Netherlands. “You’re always a bit nervous when your baby gets moved about,” remarks Ian Carnelli, overseeing Hera for ESA. “Right now it’s being shut into a dark airless box for weeks on end, but we have confidence it will perform well.” Hera can be seen receded into the rectangular ‘thermal tent’ within Phenix. The six copper walls of this internal box can be heated up to 100°C or cooled via piped liquid nitrogen down to –190°C, all independently from each other. Then, after the main door of the stainless steel Phenix chamber was slid shut, the air within the chamber was pumped out during a lengthy 20 hours process down to approximately one billionth of outside atmospheric pressure. This will allow the Hera team from ESA, European Test Services operating the Test Centre and Hera manufacturer OHB to test the spacecraft’s thermal behaviour as the temperature changes around it. Space is a place where it is possible to be hot and cold at the same time if one part of your spacecraft is in sunlight and another is in shade. And because there is no air, there is no conduction or convection to lose heat from your spacecraft. Instead thermal experts employ insulation and radiators to keep the body of a spacecraft within carefully chosen temperature limits. In general spacecraft electronics – just like their human makers – work best at room temperature. “We already have detailed models of the spacecraft’s thermal behaviour, and this spacecraft-level thermal vacuum test lets us correlate these models with reality,” explains Hera’s Product Assurance and Safety manager, Heli Greus. “More than 400 thermal sensors have been placed in and around Hera to give us precise knowledge of what is going on, and the test is being supervised on a 24/7 basis in case anything anomalous occurs. The spacecraft is now being put through a series of ‘cold plateaus’ and ‘hot plateaus’ representative of its mission, which will allow us to test the thermal limits of each specific unit aboard.” Hera is Europe’s contribution to an international planetary defence experiment. Following the DART mission’s impact with the Dimorphos asteroid in 2022 – modifying its orbit and sending a plume of debris thousands of kilometres out into space – Hera will return to Dimorphos to perform a close-up survey of the crater left by DART. The mission will also measure Dimorphos’ mass and make-up, along with that of the larger Didymos asteroid that Dimorphos orbits around. Hera is due for launch in October 2024. The ESTEC Test Centre in the Netherlands is the largest facility of its kind in Europe, providing a complete suite of equipment for all aspects of satellite testing under a single roof.

All astronauts go through a quarantine period before flying to space. This period of isolation keeps them away from any germs or viruses that might make them sick. Quarantine is also important to minimise the risk of bringing an infectious disease with them to space. Marcus Wandt entered quarantine two weeks ahead of his launch in Florida, USA, just a few kilometres away from the rocket that took him to the ISS as part of Axiom Mission 3. Quarantine for astronauts does not mean a holiday – it is a busy period. Marcus spent around twelve hours a day preparing for the mission ahead. His schedule included physical exercise, refreshers of flight operations, the review of science and outreach activities, and even virtual reality simulations of the job awaiting him on the Space Station. 📹 ESA - European Space Agency 📸 Axiom Space #ESA #ISS #Astronaut

This video zooms through space to reveal Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) image of the Southern Ring Nebula. The bright star at the centre of NGC 3132, while prominent when viewed by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Telescope in near-infrared light, plays a supporting role in sculpting the surrounding nebula. A second star, barely visible at lower left along one of the bright star’s diffraction spikes, is the nebula’s source. It has ejected at least eight layers of gas and dust over thousands of years. Data from Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) were used to make this extremely detailed image. It is teeming with scientific information — and research will begin following its release.

At present it’s as though the distance ladder observed by Hubble and Webb has firmly set an anchor point on one shoreline of a river, and the afterglow of the Big Bang observed by our Planck mission from the beginning of the Universe is set firmly on the other side. How the Universe’s expansion was changing in the billions of years between these two endpoints has yet to be directly observed. 📹 ESA - European Space Agency 📸 NASA, ESA, CSA, Space Telescope Science Inst., A.

Our EMSA highlights 2023

EMSA Lisbon
2023 was another busy year here at EMSA. We continued to support the European Commission and Member States on a whole range of maritime issues. We worked intensively across a wide range of actions and activities across our core areas of maritime safety, sustainability, surveillance, simplification and digitalisation, security, technical assistance, capacity building, and coastguard cooperation. In the area of sustainability, we updated THETIS-MRV to support the extension of the EU Emissions Trading System to the maritime transport sector and continued to study the potential of different alternative fuels. We began our series of studies on the safety aspects of alternative fuels and power sources, and we published our first safety guidance on battery energy storage systems on board ships. The CARGOSAFE project, which identifies several cost-effective technical measures to improve the fire safety of container ships, was approved by a dedicated panel of experts at the IMO. Meanwhile, our ROV service became fully operational, supporting accident investigation bodies across the EU. We published our study on competences for MASS operators in remote operation centres. And 2023 was the year in which our coast guard cooperation took a big leap forward. From June until the end of August, we led our first ever Multipurpose Maritime Operation in the Baltic Sea region. At organisational level, we continued to meet our environmental targets in 2023 and completed our journey towards becoming a truly digital administration. We launched our first ever HR strategy, with our staff at its centre. And we ended the year with record levels of budgetary execution

Decoding methane emissions from LNG-fueled ships - Policy Insights from the FUMES project
14 Mar 2024
CleanTransport
In recent years, liquefied natural gas (LNG) has gained popularity as a fuel for the maritime industry, but “methane slip” from marine engines and fugitive emissions have raised climate concerns. The Fugitive and Unburned Methane Emissions from Ships (FUMES) project has produced the most comprehensive dataset of real-world methane emissions from LNG-fueled ships, using drones, helicopters, and on-board measurements. FUMES found that real-world methane emissions from the most common LNG marine engine averaged 6.4%, whereas EU regulations assume 3.1% and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) assumes 3.5%. Panelists representing the project’s partners will discuss these findings and their policy implications.
