High Aspect Ratio Satellite Platforms - Feasibility Study - ESA, ARTES
The ESA-HARS project is a feasibility study performed under the coordination of SpaceTec Partners – Belgium (currently NOVASPACE) and in partnership with Reflex Aerospace – Germany. The project involved the study of using high aspect ratio satellites (flat satellites) for different missions and applications.
The role of Initium Space was in performing the use case definition and the trade-off and selection of several use cases to be further investigated by the consortium. At the end of the activity, a SWOT analysis was performed and a set of recommendations were presented to the European Space Agency (ARTES program).
A public report covering the project results is to be released soon.
