R&D NESTER / REN WIN NEW PROJECT WITH EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY (ESA)
Following the proposal submitted in May 2018 to the Tender "Services Supporting Critical Infrastructure", the European Space Agency (ESA) confirmed the approval and decision to finance the project entitled "Space-based services to support Resilient and Sustainable Critical Infrastructure" (RESUCI).
The project proposal was submitted by R&D Nester, together with the company GMVIS SkySoft, and with support from REN as end user and stakeholder.
ReSuCI delves with the technic-economic analysis of using satellite information to develop three decision-support services to (i) monitor right-of-way for obstacles and activity detection, (ii) manage and control field management operations and (iii) assess landslide risk. The project duration is nine months.
Close cooperation between R&D Nester, REN teams and GMV started in November 2018.
The Kick-off meeting held last November established the ground zero of the project activities, but the close cooperation between the consortium and stakeholders proceeds since the proposal phase.
Following the Kick-off meeting with ESA, R&D Nester organized the first stakeholders meeting with REN. This working session delved with the definition and requirement analysis of space-based decision support service for right-of-way monitoring.
