EDITORIAL

THIS CATALOGUE SERVES AS AN OPEN INVITATION TO POTENTIAL INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS

For Luxembourg, the diversification of its economy is an everyday challenge. The space sector is one of the priority sectors that Luxembourg has constantly promoted since its entry into the space business more than 25 years ago. The efforts to put in place the necessary measures to support the continued strengthening of its space sector clearly demonstrate the longlasting commitment of the Government.

ETIENNE SCHNEIDER

This catalogue of Luxembourg Space Capabilities showcases the capabilities of our national actors and serves as an open invitation to potential international partners to identify and establish successful research and business relationships with these actors. Since its first edition, this directory has revealed the constant expansion and consolidation of the Luxembourg space landscape. Many of the players presented here are not only known beyond the borders of the Grand Duchy, but their capabilities are now recognised by the international space community. Luxembourg will continue deploying the means to expand and consolidate this sector in order to attract new players and develop new activities. Etienne Schneider Deputy Prime Minister Minister of the Economy

LUXEMBOURG SPACE CLUSTER

DEPLOY THE SPACE TECHNOLOGY KNOW-HOW “MADE IN LUXEMBOURG” BEYOND ITS NATIONAL BORDERS Since 2005, when Luxembourg officially became a member state of ESA, the space policy of Luxembourg’s Government has been supporting the diversification of space activities and their positive impact on many other economic sectors (materials, ICT, environmental technologies, etc.). It is clear that research and technological development in space constitute a huge strategic challenge. In Luxembourg, most of the specialised players of the space sector know each other, but it is of utter importance to showcase Luxembourg’s space sector on the international scene. The catalogue of competences, skills, products and services presents the capabilities of the private and public entities with their multicultural work force which are active in Luxembourg’s space sector and contribute to its dynamism. YVES ELSEN

Due to a lack of visibility or information, Luxembourg does not easily come to mind when thinking about space technologies. This is unfortunate, since the country has many high-quality researchers and entrepreneurs in this field. This catalogue lists all companies and public research organisations by their respective fields of activity. As Chairman of the Luxembourg Space Cluster, I strongly support this initiative which helps to deploy the know-how “made in Luxembourg” beyond its national borders. This catalogue is a very useful instrument to spur international collaboration. Bilateral or multilateral cooperation, bringing together physical means, energies or brain power, must remain a main focus of Luxembourg’s space policy. Yves ELSEN, President of the Luxembourg Space Cluster and the GLAE (Groupement Luxembourgeois de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace)

LUXEMBOURG SPACE POLICY

Luxembourg joined the space adventure in 1985 through the creation of the Société Européenne des Satellites (SES), a landmark for satellite telecommunications and now a major player in this sector. This initiative has not only led to the development and growth of SES, but also to the development of an entire space industry in Luxembourg. The second step in positioning the country in the space sector was Luxembourg’s accession to the European Space Agency (ESA). This membership, preceded by a cooperation agreement on the telecommunications programme of the Agency (ARTES), became effective on 30 June 2005, with Luxembourg becoming the 17th Member State of ESA. Besides the development of opportunities combined with the technological capabilities of national actors, this membership has confirmed the commitment of the Luxembourg government to promote the Grand Duchy as a hub for innovative projects in advanced technologies.

With this aim, Luxembourg has developed a space policy, whose main objectives are to: > c ontribute to the diversification and sustainability of economic activities in Luxembourg, > c onsolidate and enhance existing skills in the field of telecommunications and media as well as ground systems, > extend skills in the sector, > g ive an international dimension to the activities through an access to international networks. Achieving these objectives requires the allocation of financial resources at European and national levels.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES AT EUROPEAN LEVEL >S ustained contributions of Luxembourg in ESA programmes for the support to technology development and the development of products, services and space infrastructures in Telecommunications, Earth Observation and Space Situational Awareness.

> These budgets allow players in Luxembourg to access the space market that has high specificities and level entrance barriers: â&#x20AC;˘ from a technical point of view due to the high technical environment of space, â&#x20AC;˘ from a legitimacy point of view: access to activities is only possible if players are known and recognised by major established actors in this field.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES AT NATIONAL LEVEL > Provision of a budget dedicated to national studies with the objective to explore new markets in which Luxembourg players are likely to position themselves (LuxLAUNCH), > Provision at ESA level of a budget to implement a national space programme (LuxIMPULSE), > Provision of a budget allowing Luxembourg young graduates to enter the training programme of ESA (LuxYGT), > Development of bi- or multilateral cooperation with major space actors outside Luxembourg.

LUXEMBOURG ENTITIES INVOLVED IN SPACE ACTIVITIES

OFFICIAL BODIES IN CHARGE OF RELATIONS WITH ESA The Ministry of the Economy is in charge of space affairs in Luxembourg. The Ministry: • defines the National Space Policy on the basis of industry and public research capabilities and objectives, as well as on the long-term perspectives of the sector; • manages relationship with the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Union and space agencies worldwide; • is responsible for all financial, political and programme matters related to ESA activities. In this role, the Ministry opens programme lines and supports the set-up of projects. Luxinnovation, the National Agency for Innovation and Research, is mandated by the Ministry of the Economy to represent Luxembourg interests in the ESA and European Commission (EC) committees. Luxinnovation is also the Luxembourg Point of Contact for space matters. As such, the Agency provides companies and research organisations with information on how ESA and the EC operate and on various approaches to be adopted according to the different programmes. Luxinnovation also offers advice and support to entrepreneurs and researchers who wish to work with ESA and the EC.

DIFFERENT ENTITIES AND ACTORS ARE INVOLVED IN SPACE ACTIVITIES IN LUXEMBOURG

PRIVATE AND PUBLIC ACTORS IN THE SPACE SECTOR Around 25 companies and 2 public research organisations in Luxembourg are involved in space activities for a total headcount of about 700 people. The Luxembourg Space Cluster, which is managed by Luxinnovation, is a network that supports the private and public actors of the space technologies sector in Luxembourg. Its objectives are to make Luxembourg space capabilities known on the international scene and to promote synergies and cooperation at national and international level through collaborative research, development and innovation projects. GLAE (Groupement Luxembourgeois de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace) was established following Luxembourg’s accession to ESA. GLAE’s objectives are to provide a permanent link between its members, advise them and defend their shared professional, economic and social interests at national and international level. GLAE is a partner of the Government for addressing all questions in relation to initiatives taken by the authorities in the framework of ESA programmes and the establishment of a Luxembourg space policy. Both the Luxembourg Space Cluster and GLAE operate in total synergy and complementarity.

EBRC’s tier IV certified data centres are located next to the SES ground base in Betzdorf. They are open and advanced facilities bringing efficiency and flexibility to our continuous value chain with operational integrations that build strong and deeply integrated projects.

MAJOR SPACE PROJECTS EBRC is specialised in the management of sensitive information. We are therefore under non-disclosure agreements with most of our clients. However, we are allowed to present interesting projects by creating a full value chain with: • Digitaria International for application layers and field deployment • SES for satellite bandwidth and broadband services • EBRC for the final infrastructure, a cloud providing compute, storage and data treatment The GSE project in Italy is dedicated to support and control production volume in renewable energy with a captured value coming from each wind, solar or hydraulic production point. Combining these values into EBRC’s trusted cloud, they are able to create a complete follow-up and adapt the central production within a smart grid approach depending on calculated values. This project is an example of complementary exchange between the cloud and associated services as a final modality on a ground base area.

GovSat is a public-private joint venture between the Luxembourg Government and SES, the world’s leading satellite operator based in Luxembourg. The company’s first satellite GovSat-1 is expected to be operational by the end of 2017. This will be a multi-mission satellite which will use dedicated military frequencies to provide high-powered and fully steerable spot beams to support multiple operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

PRODUCTS & SERVICES GovSat-1 will be a multi-mission satellite, using dedicated military frequencies (known as X-Band and Ka-Band) to provide high-powered and fully steerable spot beams for multiple operations. The satellite will cover areas in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, providing security and defence applications.

Security applications Satellite technology adds value both in morale, welfare, recreation and diplomatic services, effectively supporting embassy networks and critical data back-up systems. It also provides superior, accurate, realtime information at affordable costs, wherever it is required.

Defence applications Satellites can meet the tactical needs in modern defence missions, ranging from achieving fully secured mobile communications for land-based communications to maritime and airborne networks. They can also provide the required bandwidth to operate remotely piloted air systems for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, as well as the provision of up-to-date information for commanders.

TECHNICAL MEANS Secure operations on the ground • Manned 24/7 by highly-skilled personnel • EU and NATO clearance • Focus on cyber security and threats of intrusion • Reliable anchor station services • Contract on a permanent or temporary basis • Hosting available for user equipment in secured areas • Redundant ground stations for satellite telemetry, tele-command and control (TT&C) • All sites are certified for site and facility clearance

GOVSAT

Flexible and accessible capacity in space • Non pre-emptible capacity to fulfil user demand • High levels of connectivity • Capability to re-allocate the transponder in-orbit

MAJOR SPACE PROJECTS The company’s initial objective is the acquisition, launch and operation of GovSat-1 for the provision of security and defence communication services.

Technical specs of GovSat-1 • Manufacturer: Orbital • Launch: Falcon 9, Space X • Launch date: H2, 2017 • Bands: X-band and military Ka-band frequencies • Beams: Fixed and steerable spot beams • Coverage: EMEA • Secure Satellite links: Anti-jamming, encrypted TT&C

MAIN CUSTOMERS/COLLABORATIONS GovSat is a public-private joint venture between the Luxembourg Government and SES. The capacity of the GovSat-1 satellite – expected to be launched late 2017 – can be used by Governmental and institutional users for defence and security applications. The venture is aligned with the ongoing work of the European Commission and Council for the development of next-generation GOVSATCOM capabilities across Europe in three prime areas. Firstly, in delivering coverage, performance, flexibility, security in X-Band and military Ka-band; secondly by addressing governmental and institutional users and, thirdly, through enabling critical SATCOM solutions like Comm-on-the-Move products or remote piloted aircraft systems in both the defense and security segment. As an enabling infrastructure, GovSat can contribute to the GOVSATCOM initiative – led by the European Commission and European Defence Agency (EDA) – throughout its various phases to help fulfil EU and NATO operational requirements. GovSat can support the communications requirements of the military’s Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) and European External Action Service (EEAS) missions and operations, as well as those of other European government agencies such as FRONTEX or the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA).

SATURNE TECHNOLOGY serves its clients and partners through experience and skills. The main objective of our commercial and technical departments is to meet the expectations and needs of customers, while respecting the three most essential points for effective partnership: • Quality • Price • Deadline The permanent challenge for all our customers is to quickly introduce new products on a changing market. Project managers, developers and designers use our services to validate a concept or the functionality of their parts or a prototype, detect possible design problems, present team marketing and convince their clients. They need to test different solutions, compare and confront them, validate industrial processes and optimise their knowledge to reduce manufacturing costs and, finally, confirm the launch of production in small, medium and large series. Our reactivity and our mastery of different laser technologies are real assets to carry out your projects.

PRODUCTS & SERVICES Additive manufacturing Our selective laser process is the ideal solution for realising your functional parts. There is no loss of time between conception and getting your metal parts as parts are not obtained by removing but by adding material and additive manufacturing. We can make complex shapes and produce what was until recently inaccessible for the state of the art: • geometric forms without limit; • conduits and internal canals, in any forms and geometries; • more efficient cooling systems; • optimised lightening; • moving mechanical parts (e.g. ball joints, etc.).

Laser welding SATURNE TECHNOLOGY’s laser welding machines allow the realisation of welding, point by point, as well as cords with high quality and perfect precision: • with or without contribution of material; • speed and precision; • absence of mechanical constraints; • complex forms; • no allowance.

Laser drilling We can make small circulars holes diameters, without moving the beam. Materials which can be drilled include steel, plastic, copper, ceramics, etc.

SATURNE TECHNOLOGY FOR METALLIC LASER AND ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING… THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION IS NOW!

Laser cladding

MAJOR SPACE PROJECTS

With our reloading laser technology, we can deposit different types of alloys or materials on mechanical parts to increase their durability, hardness and profitability. Our deposits are realised with a “coaxial” head, allowing fine and/or important deposits, having a connection with the basic material, completed and without constraint.

• Additive manufacturing of aluminium and titanium components for spacecraft

Laser cutting Our cut laser applies to different types of materials with complex contours which require a specific treatment, fast and without resistance. This method presents a number of advantages, the main one being the manufacturing without deformation in parts up to 3 mm in thickness. Our laser machines allow obtaining a precision lower than 1/100 mm on very diverse materials such as steels, aluminium, precious metals, ceramic, copper, brass, silicon, etc.

space4environment was established in 2007 under its former name GeoVille Environmental Services. The re-branding in 2015 allowed the now independent company to focus even more on its core competence: adding the environmental dimension to Earth observation in the land domain, respectively “using space data to provide space for the environment” as expressed in the company’s motto. space4environment believes that Earth observation data is a vital asset in today’s need for timely and relevant information on the state and trends of the environment. Nonetheless, just providing mapping or monitoring services and data to customers would not be enough. space4environment aims to add value to these basic data and contribute to their reporting and decision-making with policy relevant information and knowledge. The company sees its mission as to provide scientifically and technically sound services to bridge from technical know-how to the analysis of what on-going processes and trends mean for the environment. By close cooperation with its customers, space4environment aims at optimising the value of their spatial data and information. Besides user requirements engineering and quality assessment of land related projects, the company focuses on thematic assessments in support of European environmental policies (e.g. Biodiversity Strategy 2020 and its targets, land resource efficiency, mapping of ecosystems and their services, sustainable cities as priority objective of the 7th Environmental Action Programme).
