Based on user needs and industry skills, the evolution of customized solutions and the establishment of innovative services is accomplished through project activities. Focusing on various thematic areas, relevant information on the project activities is provided below.
GeoStorage
Status date: 27 March 2023
Energy sustainability on Earth and on the Moon? Yes! GeoStorage is investigating the use of energy storage in different geologic formations, such as caverns, depleted oil and gas reservoirs, and abandoned mines for strategic and large-scale applications in national energy grids. The project is aiming to secure renewable energy base load and improve their interoperability with other energy sources.
3E Solar Data Services
Status date: 27 March 2023
3E Project Development solution provides accurate and bankable satellite-based solar irradiation data for solar power modelling: 3E Solar Irradiation Data. It is your go-to application to assess the long-term yield of future solar assets, improve the return on investment and evaluate operational plant performance.
FlexCurb CurbX
Status date: 27 March 2023
FlexCurb CurbX evaluates the technical and commercial feasibility of an app for cities to digitize curb assets and regulations more easily in cities. By using augmented reality and postprocessing with Earth Observation the app enables highly accurate and standardized curb data generation.
Astrobone
Status date: 27 March 2023
Objective of the project is to study and validate b.Bone scaffold in osteoporotic environment to improve human bone surgery. b.Bone is a synthetic bone substitute, CE marked and indicated for clinical applications in orthopaedic and traumatology surgeries. The scaffold is seeded in vitro with human bone cells in simulated microgravity and then in space (after the current activity), to simulate an osteoporotic accelerated model, and their response is analysed.
GreenUP
Status date: 27 March 2023
One of our cities' challenges is to design integrated urban environments that balance between growth ambitions, an increasing population and climate emergency, and at the same time introducing new standards for green growth, biodiversity, inclusion and quality of life. The GreenUP project aims to shed light on how satellite technology can be transformed into flexible and user-relevant tools to support local authorities and other stakeholders involved in the development of sustainable urban environments.

OneTCall is perfect to provide seamless voice coverage also on board of Airplanes and Ships.
OneTcall is a patented service.
CertiPro
Status date: 28 February 2023
In this truly European project, an innovative railway track worker protection system will be evaluated for its reliability and its ability to enhance the safety of railway track workers. The goal is to demonstrate the safety capabilities of the track worker protection system in a real environment, integrated into the challenging infrastructure of a railway operator in Italy.
DOCS-2
Status date: 15 March 2023
Using civil aircraft to create constellations for providing high spatial & temporal Earth observation data and telecommunication services; a most ecological constellation re-using the most reliable platform.
TruewaveGPR
Status date: 15 March 2023
The fusion of positioning, inertial and subsurface data sets at a singular point.
A consortium of Europe’s leading ground penetrating radar and electronic developers have teamed up with the UKs most high-profile horizontal drilling operations to create the world’s leading terrain compensating subsurface inspection system capable of creating 3D data sets for analysing buried assets below challenging terrain.
GIADA
Status date: 15 March 2023
GIADA exploits gravity field observations, mainly derived from GOCE mission, with others in situ data to build a 3D model of the Earth crust at regional scale. The service results help oil & gas and mining companies in the preliminary exploration activities to identify regions with high potential in terms of natural resources exploitation.
Other industries which can take benefit from the service results are mining companies, or more in general companies requiring a good knowledge of the geological setting at regional scale for resource exploitation purposes.
TrackSat
Status date: 15 March 2023
Development of a standalone drone tracking service capable of transmitting its position over 4G network during normal flight, addressing drone flight regulations. In case of a crash, the drone will use satellite IoT connectivity to send its latest known position.
SequOIA-CAM
Status date: 14 March 2023
SequOIA-CAM offers an end-to-end biological carbon accounting, vegetation monitoring and carbon stocks sequestration rate simulation service for sustainable cities, regions, forest owners, and forest-related companies. SequOIA-CAM leverages the unique capabilities of Satellite-based Earth Observation (EO) that provides the necessary high spatial and temporal resolution and cost-effective monitoring capacity to ensure that nature-based solutions are implemented correctly and to ensure accurate quantification of carbon stocks in forests.
SWESAT
Status date: 04 November 2022
Remote measurements of snow storage with acceptable accuracy is a long awaited solution by the hydropower industry due to its potential in providing high number of data points and high spatial coverage. We demonstrate a novel approach to derive snow storage (SWE) by use of L-band radar measurements in combination with the interferometry technique.
DroSecMa
Status date: 13 March 2023
“The fence no longer defines the perimeter.” Exponential increase in capability and reduction in cost has made drones a truly disruptive technology. Their capabilities may be leveraged for significantly improved surveillance and data collection but that also
represent a significant and evolving threat. DroSecMa leverages the capabilities of drones while providing real-time threat mitigation.
