on the governance of the territory, for the welfare of the citizen, focused on security and emergency management and implemented through the use of Earth Observation data acquired from stratospheric platforms, which provide real-time services, and integrated with satellite data and/or to the ground. SPACE: Flagship Program Stratospheric Platform (HAP- High Altitude Platform) • • • • • • • Aircraft automatic, quasi-stationary, positioned in the stratosphere Quote varies between 14 and 20km, Performance comparable to a satellite in low orbit, Costs of implementation and launch reduced, Availability of real-time data on areas at a regional scale, Ability to reposition based on the levels of alert, Possibility of maintenance and/or replacement of the instruments on board. SPACE: Flagship Program INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGICAL AREAS : • • • • • • • Structural materials, anti-icing systems Photovoltaic systems Hydrogen Technologies (filling gas and fuel cells) Innovative propulsion systems Guidance Systems, Navigation and Control On-board electronics Electro-optical payload development, telecommunications and radar SPACE: Flagship Program Flagship Program SPACE target: • Bring the system to the aerospace industry Lombard/national, first the SME, and Research Centers to increase the technological know-how and develop new business opportunities; • Create innovative services for the citizen based on the use of the real-time remote data, not currently available and high regional, national and European • Enabling technologies can be developed through participation in the European Framework Programme Horizon 2020 which can promote the competitiveness of SMEs in Europe.
