The Integrated Applications Promotion (IAP) programme is developing a range of new applications by using and integrating different available space assets, resulting in viable services for the benefit of society.To achieve this, the following objectives have been defined:
-
Promotion of space applications to a wider range of users, especially to those who are not aware of the benefits space technologies can bring to them;
-
Development of new operational and economically sustainable services for these users;
-
Utilisation of at least two existing and different space assets (such as Satellite Communications, Earth Observation, Satellite Navigation, Human Spaceflight technologies and others), leading to a better exploitation of existing space capacity and know-how.
