IAP Programme Structure


The IAP Awareness Concept

Awareness Activities aim to: • Bring new customers to space-based services.

• Identify new types of space-based services.

• Improve the utilisation and exploitation of existing space assets.

• Strengthen the user-pull paradigm of IAP.

In principle, this will be performed by: Reaching out to stakeholders / users in order to understand, foster and organise their demands.


IAP Awareness Activities

1. An Integrated Application Advisory Committee (IAPAC).

2. A network of IAP Ambassador Platforms across Europe.

3. Calls for User Ideas.

4. A web portal gateway to IAP http://iap.esa.int with noticeboards, Beginners Guide, Outline Proposal templates (Feasibility & Demo), Showcases, Upcoming events, etc.

5. User Workshops.

6. PR Material.


1. Focus of Ambassador Platforms:

a. Regional: Can be regional, national or international (e.g. APCEE).

b. Thematic: Distance Learning, Water Management, Natural Hazards.

c. Or a combination of both Regional and Thematic.

2. Key roles of an Ambassador Platform:

a. Federate user demand.

b. Spread and increase awareness of Space Applications.

c. Act as an “honest broker” between ESA, industry and user community.

d. Motivate stakeholders to submit viable proposals.

e. Prepare and run workshops (with ESA support).

Integrated Space Applications for the Arctic

ESA’s Integrated Applications Promotion Programme (ARTES 20)


The Arctic Environment

• The Arctic region is a frontier environment for human activities, driven by global economic demand for resources and made possible in part by global warming.

• Pressure is growing on the Arctic as an arena for a multiple of activities, including oil and gas (with 13% of undiscovered oil and 30% of natural gas estimated to lie north of the Arctic Circle).

• There is already a considerable amount of maritime shipping in the Arctic, such as cruise ships and research ships, and the Northern Sea route and North-West passage are already starting to open up to commercial shipping.

• However, the Arctic has many severe challenges:

• Dangerous operating conditions: • Constant ice cover. • Drifting icebergs. • Frequently low visibility. • Low temperatures. • Winter darkness. • Polar Lows.

• Extremely sensitive environment: • Restrictions on HFO’s in the Arctic ?

• Remoteness: • No land-based medical facilities available. • Need to carry critical spare parts.


Resources in the Arctic

• The Arctic may contain as much as one fifth of the future world’s oil and gas reserves.

• The main countries aiming at oil/gas exploitation in the region are Denmark, Norway, the US, Russia and Canada.

• More than half of the undiscovered oil resources are likely to occur in just three geologic provinces: Arctic Alaska (30 billion barrels), the Amerasia Basin (9.7 billion barrels) and the East Greenland Rift Basins (8.9 billion barrels).

• More than 70 per cent of the undiscovered natural gas is likely to be in three provinces: the West Siberian Basin, the East Barents Basins and Arctic Alaska.

Link between Arctic Environment and Potential IAP Activities

Arctic Environment

- Ice cover.- Icebergs.- Visibility (persistent fog / low cloud).- Winter darkness.- Low temperature / icing of structures.- Polar lows.- Northern Lights.- Difficult regulatory enforcement.- Sensitive ecology / difficult conditions for remediation of chemical / biological pollution.- Melting of permafrost.- Productive ocean.

Potential Activities

PRIMARY:- Transport: Marine, air, terrestrial.- Exploration of Oil and Gas.- Fisheries.- Search and Rescue.- Communications.- E-Health / telemedicine.

SECONDARY:- Tourism.- Forestry.- Mining.- Urban planning.


Main themes of IAP workshop

1. Oil and Gas exploration/extraction: Monitoring of iceberg trajectories, position of ice edge, motion of ice floes, ice thickness. Monitoring of oil spills.

2. Merchant shipping and tourist cruises: Ice charting and navigation. Monitoring of chemical pollution.

3. Fisheries. Identification of areas of high ocean productivity and eutrophication for the fishing

industry and fisheries protection authorities. Geo-fencing (identification of areas where fishing is allowed), and fish catch traceability.

4. Applicable across all Arctic activities: Communications between rig, ship and shore (including leisure activities). Telemedicine. Polar lows / weather / sea state forecasting. Search and Rescue.


1. EO for monitoring:

• Ice conditions: First-year ice, multi-year ice, icebergs, ice pressure and thickness.

• Iceberg locations.

• Meteorology / sea state: Information on surface currents and winds, and Polar Lows.

• Pollution from ships and drilling platforms.

2. Sat Com for communications between rig, ship and shore (including telemedicine).

3. Sat Nav:

4. Sat AIS for monitoring ship locations.

Possible roles of space in the Arctic


Expected Outcomes of IAP Arctic Workshop

1. Identify operational user needs in the Arctic region. 2. Help to establish operational services in the Arctic in areas where

integrated applications are relevant: Oil and Gas. Shipping Fishing. Search and Rescue. Telemedicine. Tourism.

3. Preparatory steps for operational services: Workshop Questionnaire (including a request for ideas). Further thematic workshops (as required). IAP Feasibility Studies (OC’s and DN’s). IAP Demonstration Projects.

4. Expand interest in the IAP programme to new communities.


What is the process to apply

to ARTES 20 ?



User Demand

Feasibility Study Demo Operational

Service

User with demand but no contact to industry

Contact with ESA:

• iap.esa.int

• Conferences

• Ambassadors

• Call for User Ideas

Funding by ESA:

• 100% - ESA initiated activities in close collaboration with users / stakeholders

• 50% * - Partner / industry initiated activities in close collaboration with users / stakeholders

Funding by ESA:

• 50% - initiated by ESA or industry

ESA IAP Involvement

Support, etc

* For Feasibility Studies only: Work carried out by Universities and research institutes and justifying no further commercial interest in the final solution may be funded 100% by the Agency.



What are the steps to prepare for an IAP activity? 1) The right content and set-up:

- A “good” user with a problem in demand of a solution. - A service-oriented mindset (not research or technology driven). - A strong team (strong leadership, right mix of partners). - Operational, technical, and commercial know-how. - Involvement of a potential service provider (indispensable for DEMO’s). … and, of course, more than 1 space asset to be integrated.

2) Submission of a proposal is the necessary process to apply to the ARTES 20 programme: - Either as an activity initiated by a consortium (co-funded) following the requirements of the continuously open call for ARTES 20 proposals in AO 6124 (Outline Proposal => Full Proposal); - Or answering to ESA-initiated ARTES 20 ITTs (fully funded).



ESA initiated Feasibility Studies (Open Competition - Fully funded)

Dedicated ITTs will be published on EMITS including the typical set of tender documents (invitation letter, statement of work, special tender conditions, draft contract).

Consortia apply according to the ITT conditions and submit their proposals including letters of authorisation from their national delegations.

ESA selects the best proposal(s) for contract award.

ESA identifies stakeholder / users and collaborates with them in order to initiate open competitive tenders.

Special Tender Conditions: Defining the content of the bid to ESA

Invitation letter: Sets the scene

Statement of Work: Defining the tasks to be carried out

Draft Contract: Regulates obligations (e.g. payments, deliverables, IPR)

Process:


Process (1): Outline Proposal • Ruling document for Outline and Full Proposals is the continuous “Open

Call for Proposals for Feasibility Studies and Demonstration Projects”: http://emits.esa.int Open Invitations to Tender AO 6124

• Submission of an Outline Proposal to email address: [email protected] • Outline Proposal template available on IAP Portal. • ESA assessment and possible iteration with bidder on promising ideas

until selection criteria are fulfilled. • Clarification with national delegations if activity is expected to be

supported. • Approval by the JCB required at one of 4 meetings per year.

Partner/industry initiated Activities (co-funded) Feasibility Studies or Demonstration Projects


Process (2): Full Proposal • Invitation to submit a full proposal. • Full proposal to be prepared according to requirements of open call for

proposals (AO 6124) including letters of authorisation of the related national delegations (early coordination process recommended).

• Submission of the Full Proposal triggers the ESA evaluation process. • If the proposal contains any non-compliances, clarification may be

requested from the bidder(s). • When the proposal is considered compliant, the negotiation process will

be initiated.



Selection criteria for an IAP activity: • Strong user needs, interest & involvement.

• Include the utilisation of two or more space assets.

• Provide evidence of clear added value (w.r.t. state of the art of the service, and of including the space component).

• Demonstrate potential for sustainability.

• Proven strength in background and experience (credibility) of the bidding team with respect to the proposed activity.

• Require funding mainly for space related activities.

• And only for Demonstration Projects: Demonstrate the need for and the representativeness of the pre-operational service (incl. scalability).



Ideal characteristics of involved parties: • User: Representing / leading broader markets (champion). Enabling access to the market. Open to new solutions. Willing to engage as a stakeholder or customer.

• Service Provider: Familiar with the market (already in the market). Provider of operational services (24/7). Various technologies to address the specific user demand.

• Industrial team: Strong leadership and good management. Systems Integration + technical know-how + commercial expertise.
