Introduction

The European Space Technology Harmonisation has been developed to achieve well-coordinated research and development (R&D) activities among all actors of the European space sector, establishing a strong technology base as a means of underpinning the worldwide competitiveness of European Industry and ensuring the success of future space missions.

Invitation to the Meeting

The ESA Harmonisation Team is pleased to invite interested participants to the Mapping Meeting of the 2nd Cycle 2024 Harmonisation.

The Mapping Meeting will be an opportunity to share information on national capabilities, on-going and planned activities, strategic interests, mission needs, and recommendations for defining the Harmonisation Roadmaps of the following space technology topics:

  1. Technologies for Fluid Mechanics
  2. CubeSat Propulsion
  3. Model Based for System Engineering
  4. Composite Materials
  5. Electromagnetic Compatibility

The Mapping Meetings will be organised in hybrid format at ESTEC using the WebEx software during the period 09-11 April 2024.

For more information, please consult the programme

*The Mapping Meeting is open to all Harmonisation stakeholders: ESA Member States Delegates forming the Technology Harmonisation Advisory Group (THAG), ESA Associate Member States and Cooperating States Delegates, European Institutions (European Commission, European Defence Agency, European Southern Observatory) as well as representatives of the European and Canadian space Industry, Research Organisations and Trade Associations.

 **The event is limited to European and Canadian entities and institutions.
