ESA is supporting Proof of Concepts, from space down to Earth!

ESA is supporting Proof of Concepts, from space down to Earth!

ESA has opened a call to foster Space Technology Transfer.

The PROOF OF CONCEPT (PoC) is directed to demonstrate to a user that the space heritage meets their main functional and technical requirements by building a breadboard.

PoC may be funded up to a maximum of 50k €.


Space origin can be hardware or software, know-how, processes, methodologies and 
systems developed or adapted for space applications. When the technology was not 
originally developed for space, but adapted and qualified to the space conditions, there should be clear benefits/teachings that the adaptation for the space field brings to the new applications (eg: size and weight reduction, material used, test results, etc).

Deadline: Feb 28th 12h (PT time zone).
