HE23-24 TOP3 Space-based SST (mission, system and sensors network) Horizon Europe TOP3

Coordinator: AGENCIA ESTATAL AGENCIA ESPACIAL ESPANOLA (ES)

Space-based SST (mission, system and sensors network)The HE23-24 TOP3 project builds upon the results obtained in the previous SST grants and the current HE_EUSST_MS_TOP3. In this context, as a response to the increase of the orbital population and with the need of observing smaller objects to better protect the EU space assets and therefore, the need and added-value of developing Space-Based Space Surveillance (SBSS) missions in complement to ground SST networks, the specific objectives of the HE23-24 TOP3 action have been defined considering the specific objectives defined in the Work Progr…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €10.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 2.5 years from 2026-01-01 to 2028-06-30.
