COPERNICUS MARITIME SURVEILLANCE SERVICE OVERVIEW Copernicus Maritime Surveillance Service
European Maritime Safety Agency COPERNICUS MARITIME SURVEILLANCE SERVICE OVERVIEW Copernicus Maritime Surveillance Service THE COPERNICUS PROGRAMME Copernicus is a European Union Programme aimed at developing European information services based on satellite Earth Observation and in situ (non-space) data analyses. The programme is managed by the European Commission, and implemented in partnership with the member states and other organisations, including the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA). Copernicus is served by a set of dedicated satellites (the Sentinels) and contributing missions (existing commercial and public satellites). Copernicus services address six main thematic areas: Security; Land Monitoring; Marine Monitoring; Atmosphere Monitoring; Emergency Management; and Climate Change. THE SECURITY SERVICE The Copernicus Security Service supports EU policy by providing information in response to Europe’s security challenges. It improves crisis prevention, preparedness and response in three key areas: maritime surveillance (implemented by EMSA) border surveillance support to EU External Action The Copernicus service for security applications is distinct from other services in the Copernicus programme. Data obtained directly through the Copernicus programme is combined with data from other sources, which may be sensitive or restricted. The end services are then provided directly to authorised national administrations and to a limited number of EU institutions and bodies, in accordance with their access rights. European Maritime Safety Agency THE COPERNICUS MARITIME SURVEILLANCE SERVICE The Copernicus Maritime Surveillance Service supports improved monitoring of activities at sea. The goal of the Copernicus Maritime Surveillance Service, implemented by EMSA, is to support its users by providing a better understanding and improved monitoring of activities at sea that have an impact on areas such as: fisheries control maritime safety and security law enforcement marine environment (pollution monitoring) support to international organisations. -
CNES Miniaturization Policy: an Answer to Nanosatellites Challenges
SSC19-I-02 CNES miniaturization policy: an answer to Nanosatellites challenges C. Dudal, C. Laporte, T. Floriant, P. Lafabrie CNES 18, avenue Edouard Belin 31401 Toulouse Cedex 9, France; +33561283070 [email protected] ABSTRACT The reduction of mass and size with improvement of the performance of a device is a permanent challenge for the space industry. The French National Space Agency has funded hundreds of R&D activities in the past, in all dedicated technical areas to facilitate these kind of technological evolution. Miniaturization efforts have, more recently, encountered a growing field of application, the one of Nanosatellites. For these applications, performance/cost trade-off is largely dominated by full cost, that is to say the cost including the entire satellite system development, from the initial idea to the end of life, including operations, data processing and its distribution. The carried out trade-offs are therefore based on a different constraints environment, in which the risk variable is systematically re-evaluated considering the cost/performance couple; the methods, the development process and the planning of delivery being directly impacted by this challenge. In this logic, and while continuing its efforts to miniaturize and improve performance for conventional markets (Earth observation, science, telecommunications, ...), CNES has adapted its working environment around the Nanosats domain to accelerate the development of adapted solutions. This adaptation being made both in terms of new development processes and of use of new COTS technology for equipment themselves. Moreover, projects in New Space are changing the historical relationship between CNES and its industrial partners and are encouraging a transition from a client/provider approach to a more co-partners approach. -

European Space Agency and CNES Endorse Expansion of Kayrros Methane Detection Technology with New €2.4 Million Contract
European Space Agency and CNES endorse expansion of Kayrros methane detection technology with new €2.4 million contract New funding from ESA Space Solutions – with support from the Centre National d’Études Spatiales – extends geographical coverage, adds data sources and boosts field operations. Paris, 31 March 2021 — Kayrros, the leading advanced data analytics company focused on satellite imagery and alternative data for more-timely decision making, announced today that it has received a contract of €2.4 million from the European Space Agency (ESA), an initiative supported by the Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES). Kayrros and ESA began their collaboration in early 2020 on the basis of Kayrros’ use of Sentinel-5P data, after working closely with CNES on the project since 2019. This contract will supplement Kayrros’ own fundraising to invest in the company’s breakthrough Methane Watch technology, bringing the total investment to €5 million. Methane is the second-largest driver of global warming after carbon dioxide and Kayrros Methane Watch is the first commercially available geospatial technology to detect, measure and attribute methane leaks to their sources worldwide. The technology: - Combines data from different ESA Sentinel satellite sensors within the Copernicus constellation. - Allows energy stakeholders and industry asset owners to take action on methane emissions using near-real time measurements and rapid processing on the world-leading Kayrros global asset observation platform. - Has already revealed dramatic increases in large methane leaks around the world and exposed significantly different regional trends likely due to activity changes, operational practices and infrastructure issues. The contract provided by ESA is for a targeted collaboration between Kayrros and ESA’s Space Solutions’ Business Applications program. -

Received: 15 January 2018; Accepted: 7 March 2018; Published: 8 March 2018 Abstract: The real-time State Space Representation (SSR) product of the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) orbit and clock is one of the most essential corrections for real-time precise point positioning (PPP). In this work, the performance of current SSR products from eight analysis centers were assessed by comparing it with the final product and the accuracy of real-time PPP. Numerical results showed that (1) the accuracies of the GPS SSR product were better than 8 cm for the satellite orbit and 0.3 ns for the satellite clock; (2) the accuracies of the GLONASS (GLObalnaya NAvigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema) SSR product were better than 10 cm for orbit RMS (Root Mean Square) and 0.6 ns for clock STD (Standard Deviation); and (3) the accuracies of the BDS (BeiDou Navigation Satellite System) and Galileo SSR products from CLK93 were about 14.54 and 4.42 cm for the orbit RMS and 0.32 and 0.18 ns for the clock STD, respectively.
