Sector

Space

Product/Objective

Research and development activities were geared towards creating a set of innovative tools and technologies to construct space- and ground-based technological infrastructures to acquire, process and manage satellite data (Earth observation and space exploration), as well as to provide operators and end-users (regional and scientific bodies) with the necessary tools (innovative products and value-added services) for their operational, management and decision-making activities in both the application and the management of data acquired from scientific missions.

Project Summary

The project covered a wide range of space-related issues ranging from exploration of the Universe to Earth observation, including systems, the management of remote data reception, and awareness-raising activities for regional consumer acceptance of the use of space systems.

Innovation

The theme of the exploration of the Universe was also strategically important to the scientific and industrial team. There were five key areas of focus: innovative sensors for the exploration of the universe, electric propulsion, unconventional propulsion, space transport, and plasma phenomena and processes in space.

ES Role

EnginSoft was involved in the development, including the graphical user interface (GUI) of the decision-making software for a 3D kinetic code for simulating plasma thrusters.

Research project

SMEA

Diagnostic and prognostic methodologies and development of sensors for functional integrity monitoring applied to the aeronautics and transport sectors

The SMEA project studied and implemented diagnostic and prognostic methodologies, supported by appropriate sensors, to monitor the functional integrity of mechanical components typical of the aviation and transport sectors.

Research project

EffiSeal

Exergy for Fortissimo+ Improved Sealing System

Exergy International Srl is exploring innovative sealing systems to enhance ORC turbine efficiency, focusing on a novel brush seal design. This project aims to reduce leakage and improve energy recovery in waste heat applications.

Research project

SPACE

Scalable Parallel Astrophysical Codes for Exascale

The main specific objective of SPACE is to enable the most widely used European A&C HPC codes (which are also among the most widely used worldwide) to efficiently and effectively exploit the pre-exascale systems funded by EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and available at the end of 2022, and to prepare them for the transition to exascale and beyond.
