Evaluation

Proposals will be evaluated in two stages. For the first stage, Challengers are invited to submit proposals via esa-star tendering and ESA will then evaluate and recommend Proposals for decision at the ESA Council at ministerial level (CM25) in November 2025. The second stage of the tendering will take place after CM25.

ESA has allotted a maximum of €169 000 000 per Challenger, covering all activities under Components A and B.
