What are we looking for?
ESA is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to collect input and expressions of interest from European industry. ESA aims to gather insights on European technology products, maturity and production capability of payload building blocks and existing initiatives on European industrialised satellite platforms to accommodate them. In particular, the RFI focuses on three categories: payload enabling technologies, available off-the-shelf satellite platform to host them and associated industrialisation aspects such as cost reduction, scalability, production time and technology miniaturisation. For additional details, visit the LEO-PNT RFI call on OSIP.
Through this RFI, ESA will gather the necessary input to consolidate the schedule, cost, risks and industrialisation aspects of a proposed LEO-PNT Industrialisation and In-Orbit Validation phase.
