Slide: 7 EUM/PEPS/VWG/08/ /07/2008 Recent Council Decisions Relevant to Post-EPS (1/2) The opportunity of flying Earth observation payloads on the Iridium-NEXT constellation of satellites should not be pursued Adopted the initiating resolution on the preparation of a Jason follow-on programme, authorising the DG to prepare a full Jason2 follow-on optional programme proposal and a related declaration (to be adopted) –All 21 member states indicated their interest in participation –Funding scheme needs to be secured among partners before optional programme can be proposed Adopted way forward for the implementation of GMES Sentinel 5 on Post-EPS –Consider S-5 as PEPS baseline in terms of design and development –Rely on ESA provided S-5 ground processor –Manage delta-development within an optimised approach for GS procurement –Have full control of the overall process up to GS level and end-to-end system verification and validation –Discuss with EU about the necessary funding to cover operations costs of S-5

Slide: 8 EUM/PEPS/VWG/08/ /07/2008 Recent Council Decisions Relevant to Post-EPS (2/2) With respect to the GMES long-term governance EUMETSAT should play the role of operational agency in the areas of –GMES Marine Core Service –GMES Atmosphere Service –The planned GMES Service for Climate Monitoring During GMES pre-operations, access by the three GMES fast track services and two pilot services to EUMETSAT data will be granted free of charge For the GMES S-3 development, a third party programme will be established

Slide: 11 EUM/PEPS/VWG/08/ /07/2008 Objectives of Preliminary Assessment Review (PAR) “to decide on the observation missions to be retained for further study” ref. to “potential for implementation within the anticipated budgetary constraints” (EUM/C/63/07/DOC/46) It implies –a review of the preliminary assessment of the candidate missions, and its consistency with mission and programmatic requirements It is an opportunity to –give recommendations on the execution of the industrial studies

Slide: 12 EUM/PEPS/VWG/08/ /07/2008 PAR Objectives / Selection Criteria CriteriaInputs to support the assessment 1Contribution by the mission to the fulfilment of EUMETSAT high level objectives Ranking of the candidate missions (elaborated in the Post-EPS PARD) 2Prefer solutions that address a broader set of missions to those that strive for the highest compliance by only the top priority ones, as long as a baseline level of performance is assured in each of them  Baseline mission performance defined in the Post- EPS MRD  Implementation options as output of the Preliminary Assessment part of the study by industry and ESA 3Maturity of the technology, suitability for an operational mission and minimisation of development risk Output of the Preliminary Assessment part of the study by industry and ESA 4Expected data gaps vs. similar missions planned by other agencies Gap Analysis 5Compliance with the financial constraints and optimisation of cost/benefit relationship  EUMETSAT financial constraints defined in PARD  Cost estimates of the Preliminary Assessment part of the study by industry and ESA

Slide: 13 EUM/PEPS/VWG/08/ /07/2008 PAR Non-Objectives The PAR is NOT expected to anticipate: –Specific payload options (for those missions to be retained) –A space or ground segment configuration Available elements are too preliminary, often and on purpose limited to a “baseline” or heritage concept for a rapid programmatic/cost assessment Relevant concepts are to be established in the industrial studies managed by ESA
