Accelerometer contract awarded to VZLU (production partner to AICAS).  Recently ESA stated that the contract allows Czech industry to:  Develop accelerometer technology to reach worldwide market standard  Enlarge its knowledge in methodology, simulations and technology procedures in various fields w.r.t. ESA ECSS standards  Develop manufacturing and testing skills compliant with ESA standards  Strengthening marketing, management, PA and testing skills

Its content shall not be disclosed. p12 Astrium views and conclusion  The European space policy must be at the scale of Europe, however industrial capacity and space budget in Europe are limited  Space based commercial market is growing but engineers and experts are in short supply  Some key hardware are not available in Europe  Poland has a long scientific/technical tradition and industrial capabilities  The European space sector welcomes Poland participation and support  Space in Poland can become an economic and technical driver with an early partnership with space industry and associated universities. Astrium has all the competencies and is fully committed to support Poland in such an endeavour in order to have “more Europe in space” and “more space in Europe”, together.
