Descripción del proyecto
Promoción de la innovación y la competitividad de la propulsión eléctrica
El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos EPIC, ya concluido, creó una hoja de ruta y un plan maestro para la propulsión eléctrica espacial el mantenimiento de estaciones. EPIC2 aprovechó los resultados del proyecto anterior para concluir la puesta en marcha de un clúster estratégico de investigación sobre tecnología de propulsión eléctrica. Parte de su actividad consistirá en evaluar las actividades operativas y los resultados del clúster, actualizar el plan maestro, identificar actividades necesarias para abordar retos relevantes y crear acciones coherentes en el campo de la propulsión eléctrica. Las actividades del proyecto ayudarán a aumentar el nivel de preparación tecnológica de las futuras tecnologías de propulsión eléctrica y aumentar la competitividad de la industria espacial europea.
Objetivo
The Electric Propulsion Innovation & Competitiveness 2.0 (EPIC2) project aims to complete the activities initiated by the project EPIC (640199) in line with the objectives of the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-2020 (5.iii. Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies - Space) provisions in the frame of the Programme Support Activity (PSA), for the implementation of the Electric Propulsion technology Strategic Research Cluster (SRC) in Horizon 2020.
The PSA consortium will ensure the coordination and necessary exchange of information and knowledge between the different SRC Operational Grants within the Electric Propulsion SRC by providing:
• Assessment of the various activities and results of the respective SRC Operational Grants in support to REA.
• Update of the master plan, as needed, to coordinate all the activities for the duration of the respective SRC Operational Grants.
• Identification of the activities required to address the challenge of the respective topics.
• Coherence of actions within the fields of Electric Propulsion with the aim to enhance the competitiveness of the European space industry in this field on the global market and to ensure validated technologies for potential use in the EU programmes.
EPIC2 will provide advice to the European Commission (EC) to assess the results of the Operational Grants and their potential evolution with respect to the overall SRC roadmap in full coordination and support to the Research Executive Agency (REA).
EPIC2 will provide updated roadmaps of activities and an updated master plan for its coordination and implementation through the rest of the execution of the Strategic Research Cluster (SRC) on “In-space Electrical Propulsion and Station-Keeping”. The produced roadmap in its implementation through the operational grants of the SRC and correctly coordinated by the EPIC2 Programme Support Activity (PSA), will contribute to increase the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of future EP technologies.
