IAP Objectives
• A user-driven programme for delivering space-based services and applications to
new user communities
• To develop operational services for a wide range of users by combining different
systems.
• Responding to actual user needs, emphasising sustainable applications and
services;
• Active engagement with multiple sectors and communities;
• Use of existing space assets: current/enhanced capacity;
(≥2 from: Satcoms, Satnav, Earth Observation, Human Space Flight)
• Combining multiple existing space assets with terrestrial systems
Active studies and projects, with many more pending across a wide range of sectors
