ESA invites to 2nd Cycle Scout Information Day on 10th July 2024

Industrial entities and scientific institutions with a potential interest in the 2nd Cycle of the Scouts are invited to join a one-day hybrid Scout Information Day. The aim of the meeting is to increase awareness of the Scout framework prior to the initiation of the System Consolidation Phase.

The Earth Observation directorate of the European Space Agency (ESA) launched  a new framework, the Scouts, to develop scientific missions for Earth Observation exploiting the new space initiative and complementing the well-established series of Earth Explorer research satellites. With this new family of small satellites, ESA intends to respond to the dynamism of a quickly evolving scientific and technological environment in the Earth Observation sector by reducing the time and cost to deliver demonstrations of novel EO techniques in the Earth sciences, taking advantage of new development methodologies, higher-risk approaches and existing assets.

Scout missions shall have a science focus with some innovation features (e.g. sensing technique, miniaturization, distribution of functions on various satellites), with the aim of providing incremental science either addressing niche applications on its own right or as complement to other missions (e.g. Earth Explorers, Copernicus Sentinels, Meteorology missions or Earth Watch missions).
