2. M/415 is an element of the European Space Programme
The M/415 Mandate
The European Commission DG ENTR Space Policy and Coordination issued the programming mandate M/415 to establish space industry standards
M/415 is an element of the European Space Programme
M/415 has been accepted by CEN/BT with the creation of BT/WG 202 Space
Slide 2

3. The M/415 Mandate
M/415 indicates the following targets for standardisation
The Galileo satellite navigation system
The GMES programme and other satellite applications for the environment, safety & security
Satellite telecommunications
Soyuz launch systems at Kourou
The ‘value chain’ of commercial space systems
The International Space Station and other international co-operative programmes
Slide 3

4. Standardisation High Level Objectives
Increase competitiveness of European Space industry
Maintain the leadership in EO systems and operations and avoid insurgence of undesired standards
Ensure that technology drivers for the European guaranteed access to Space are lead by European requirements
Slide 4

5. Roadmap
As requested by M/415, the standardisation programme will consist of two steps:
Feasibility study, scheduled to close and produce a deliverable on 30-June-08
Identification of the needs, scheduled to close and produce a deliverable on Jan-09
Slide 5

6. The Step 1 Feasibility study has to
Roadmap
The Step 1 Feasibility study has to
Identify the state of play in space standardisation by
Making inventory of existing and planned European space systems
Making inventory of terrestrial systems with which these space systems need to operate
Identifying issues for inter-operability (based on above)
Making inventory of the state of play in standardisation
Identify priorities amongst these elements and sectors
Identify actors to be involved for each area

7. The Step 2: Identification of needs has to
Roadmap
The Step 2: Identification of needs has to
Identify standardisation needs
Prepare a dossier which
Tackles issues of design and manufacture of equipment, environmental aspects, services, quality, safety and interoperability
Establishes EU position on future international legislation
Proposes how to provide the necessary assistance to industry & relevant agencies (training, promotion…)
Supports innovation: involve scientific/technical knowledge
Slide 7

8. Where We Are
The TN contains a table with a list of the standards currently applicable or under definition within the space observation domain
Standards related to the development, testing, launch and in orbit validation of the satellite, as well as the telecommunication related standards will be addressed in a separate document
The FOS is addressed as it represents an interface for the exploitation of HR EO missions in the context of security and dual use
