EDRS programme basic principles Basic EO trends: - Higher resolution and new wavelength ! higher data volumes - Congestion in traditional telecom means (X-band) - Need for near-real-time data and rapid tasking EDRS capabilities: - Increased contact time - Higher data rates - Higher capacity - Flexible data distribution 3 ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use

EDRS programme basic principles Service-oriented approach: - Operational system able to fulfil user requirements with required service availability (redundancy) - Open system able to serve all interested user communities with different technologies to meet different needs Public-Private Partnership: - Selection of EDRS Operator / Service Provider - Operator owner of EDRS system infrastructure - Commitment to operate EDRS system - Provide services to ESA users - Commercialise data relay services to all interested user communities Foster creation of data relay market 4 ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use

EDRS targeted services Data relay services retrieving data from LEO satellites to ground – Very high data rate at 1.8 Giga bit per second through optical Inter- satellite Link (ISL) – High data rate of 600 Mega bit per second (Mbps) through optical ISL (possibility of data encryption on board GEO) – Medium data rate 150-300 Mbps through Ka ISL – Data provided to customers either directly to EDRS ground station (5-6 m antenna) installed on User Premises or via terrestrial links from EDRS Central Hubs Rapid Tasking service re-programming LEO satellites – A few kilo bits per second through optical ISL – Up to 1 Mbps through Ka ISL 5 ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use

EDRS targeted Users ESA as “ anchor user ” : GMES programme provides start-up user - Data relay service for Sentinel-1+2 for min. 50% of mission data - Embarkation of data relay terminal - EDRS system deployment in time with Sentinel constellation launch schedule - Operational showcase for other potential users Any other potential EO operator and in particular military EO systems 6 ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use

EDRS system architecture EDRS GEO Data relay Payloads Rapid tasking USER platform equipped with a EDRS User Space Terminal (UST) TM/TC TM/TC EDRS User Space Segment EDRS Satellite Control Centre (SCC) User data EDRS Feeder link USER data processing premises USER Ground Station (UGS) Ground Station (FLGS) Management data EDRS Mission & USER Mission and Operation Center Operation Centre (MOC) 7 ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use

EDRS Space Segment architecture Space segment formed by 2 elements: Piggyback payload (EDRS-A) - On board commercial operator satellite to guarantee early in-orbit system element (by 2014) available to provide services to first users (GMES) Dedicated satellite (EDRS-C) - Fully controlled by EDRS Operator (by 2015) => High service availability through in orbit redundancy Possible extension if required by user demand (not covered by currently defined programme) - Other payloads to address other users ’ needs (e.g. S-band) - Additional elements (higher system capacity and/or availability) 8 ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use

EDRS system Capabilities Through EDRS-A piggy back payload: – Optical ISL data relay services (1.8 Gbps/600 Mbps) – Optical ISL rapid tasking services (few kbps, through Eutelsat GEO encrypted TM/TC link) – Ka ISL data relay services (up to 300 Mbps) – Ka ISL rapid tasking service (up to 1 Mbps through dedicated RF data link) – High performance Feeder Link in Ka EESS bands (26 GHz) with European coverage – By-passable data encryption for the optical data relay service at 600 Mbps only Through EDRS-C satellite: – Optical data relay services (1.8 Gbps/600 Mbps) – Optical rapid tasking services (few kbps, through ASV EDRS-C GEO encrypted TM/TC link) – No Ka ISL relay services – High performance Feeder Link in Ka EESS bands (26 GHz) with European coverage – By-passable data encryption for the optical data relay service at 600 Mbps only 9 ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use

HOSTED PAYLOAD ON BOARD EDRS-C SATELLITE 09:00 Arrival and registration 09:15 Welcome address 09:30 EDRS programme 10:00 Announcement of Opportunity process 10:45 Coffee break 11:00 EDRS-C satellite Hosted Payload embarkation 11:30 Q&A open session 12:30 Lunch 14:00 30 minute Q&A individual sessions 17:30 End of workshop ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use

AO process - Objectives and Principles Available resource on EDRS-C (power, mass, volume) is an opportunity to fly additional " payloads Does not need to be innovative or telecom related payload " “Embarkation” fee charged to the Hosted Payload provider covering: " Integration of the HP onto the host satellite, • Support of the host satellite manufacturer for ground testing, • Launch & LEOP, • Support of the host satellite manufacturer for IOT (command and control tasks) • Will bring needed financial contribution to the tight EDRS budget " Conditions for the provision of the hosted payload will be agreed in a “Mission " Implementation Agreement” between ESA and the HP provider Operations fee to be agreed with EDRS operator in a separate agreement " ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use

AO process - Funding " Embarkation fee The payload proponent must come with available funds to pay for • the embarkation fee Any source of funding private/public can be considered • Total/partial ESA contribution possible but needs to be backed up • with relevant ESA programme/directorate and corresponding national delegation " The development cost of the payload is outside the AO hosting Mission Implementation Agreement Could be partially covered by other parallel ESA development • contract to be indicated in the proposals ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use

AO process - Mission Implementation Agreement main principles " Hosted Payload will be a Customer Furnished Item (CFI) to be provided by the Proponent to the Agency, which will provide it to the EDRS Operator for integration and embarkation " Ownership of the HP will remain with the HP Provider " Intellectual Property Rights vested in the HP Provider will remain with the HP provider " Exclusive access and exploitation rights of the HP by the HP provider will be subject to separate Operational agreement between the HP Provider and the EDRS Operator " In case the HP is delivered late, the HP provider undertakes to deliver a dummy payload at no cost " Related frequency filing/licensing will be the responsibility of the HP Provider. " DRAFT MIA will be provided to down-selected proponents as a basis for the dialogue phase before final proposal submission ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use

AO process - Schedule AO issued on 11 th August 2011 1. 15 th Sept - Notice of Intent to be submitted 2. 22nd Sept - Workshop for information dissemination and Q&A sessions (including one to one sessions) 3. 21 st October - Submission of proposal 4. Initial down selection 5. Technical and contractual dialogue 6. 15 th December - Final proposal submission 7. Final selection and negotiation in December/January ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use

AO process - Key Inputs / Outputs 2011 2012 Aug Sept Oct Dec Jan Mar Apr May June Nov Feb ! AO issued Update of reqt including - IRD-1 - IRD-0 - Draft MIA Workshop "#! "#!./'0*! ! $%&'! ()*)+1%'!

AO process - Key Inputs/Outputs " The proposal for the 21 st of October no longer requires a statement of compliance to the IRD-0. The rest of the proposal guidelines (chapter 8) remains valid. The IRD-0 provided in the AO is indicative and not yet final • The C-band mission was removed from the EDRS-C satellite since issuing the AO • " Additional inputs will be provided following first down-selection of HP proponents: An updated IRD-1 • and a draft MIA • " Following a Technical and Contractual dialogue, the final proposal will need to include additional key documents HP ICD version 0 • Hosted payload Test Plan (AIT and IOT ) version 0 • Revised Mission Implementation Agreement • ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use
