Introduction to ESA
a

• ESA is an inter-governmental organisation with a
  mission to provide and promote - for exclusively
  peaceful purposes - the exploitation of
• space science, research technology
• space applications
• ESA achieves this through
• space activities and programmes
• long term space policy
• a specific industrial policy
• coordinating European with national space
  programmes

e

Introduction to ESA Two Types of Programmes
All Member States participate in activities and a
common set of programmes related to space science
(mandatory programmes)
In addition, members chose the level of
participation in optional programmes

• Manned Space Flight
• Microgravity Research
• Earth Observation
• Telecommunications
• Navigation
• Launcher Development

User Segment Integrated Applications
Introduction to the Integrated Applications
10
The ARTES Applications LineBackground Issues

• Objective develop and integrate HW/SW elements
  and contents in order to generate new
  applications with commercial potential, and
  addressing the capability to provide the
  applications in an Operational Context (services)
• All activities involve an user community through
  a pre-operational phase of actual utilisation of
  the system
• The objective is NOT to demonstrate the
  feasibility of the particular application
• Today, almost every applications involving ICT
  can be demonstrated using more or less
  off-the-shelf technology, so the value of the
  demo as such is rather limited
• A demo in itself can generate misleading
  conclusions or expectations hard to realise in
  the real world (after the demo.)

Integrated Applications Scope of Work

• Identify and procure the satellite capacity and
  any other communication services
• Develop (if applicable), procure (via purchase
  and/or loan), integrate and commission all the
  hardware and software elements including the user
  terminals
• Develop (if applicable) or procure the content
• Fulfil all the regulatory and formal steps
• Procure all the necessary ancillary services
• Formalise the agreement with the user groups
• Make available the resources (manpower and
  facilities) of the user groups
• Train and coordinate the user groups
• Achieve the planned operational utilisation of
  the system
• Collect, analyse and present the evaluation
  feedback
• Develop a rollout plan for operational activities

16
The Recurring Scope of ARTES 3 Line 1

• Information to be included in the proposal
  (essential for ESA to evaluate)
• identification of the actors (members of the
  team user community)
• clear identification of responsibilities (who
  does what)
• clear identification of the locations and their
  capabilities (I.e. equipment at each location)
• timeline for the set-up of the pilot (when each
  piece is in place)
• timeline for the operation of the pilot (how
  long the pilot will last, and how much time is
  committed by the user community on it)
• commitment for the time available for the use of
  satellite resources
• justification for the choice of technology,
  including assessment of the competition
• work breakdown structure, work package
  descriptions and cost sheets

User Segment User Terminals
Introduction to the User Terminals
18
User Terminals (User Segment - ARTES 3 Line 1)
vs.Ground Terminal (Technology - ARTES 3 Line 2)

• The ITT Integrated Applications and User
  Terminals (USER SEGMENT) includes the
  development / enhancement / verification of User
  Terminals within an end-to-end applications
  environment. This means that the User Terminals
  are treated as integral part of end-to-end satcom
  systems that provide connectivity to users
• The ITT Multimedia Ground Terminals and
  Equipment allows for proposals dealing with
  stand alone technology improvements /
  developments of Ground Terminals to be validated
  at the level of their external interfaces

19
User Terminals Scope of Work

• Development, testing and validation of a
  prototype of the user terminal (elements of an
  end-to-end satcom system providing access to
  applications and services)
• User terminals must be tested and validated in
  the end-to-end system before the conclusion of
  the contractual activities
• The prototype shall be close to an industrialised
  version in the sense that no major redesign shall
  be needed in order to reach a product that is
  ready for deployment in the market

ESA Technical Assets

• Tenderers have the opportunity to have access to
  the ESA Technical Assets
• Satellite Capacity
• ESTEC and ESRIN DVB Uplink Stations
• Access is Free of Charge for the project
• Access is on Best Effort basis
• Request to access to the ESA Technical Assets
  has to be provided with the Proposal with a
  detailed utilisation plan
• In the above case, the Proposal shall however
  include an option where the Technical Assets are
  not made available by ESA, but are procured by
  the project through a full commercial offer
• Possibility to utilise ESA Technical Assets will
  be confirmed during the Negotiation Meeting in
  the case of Contract Award

22

Purpose of the Proposal

• The Proposal is a key element for the ARTES 3
  project life cycle
• it is the sole basis for the evaluation of the
  TEB
• it is the reference point to describe the
  content of the work which will become
  contractually binding
• it provides the guidelines for the execution of
  the work (essential for the contractual team and
  for ESA)
• part of its content (applicable documents) will
  evolve during the project life
• it is used to assess achievements vs.
  expectations (e.g. Strategic Objectives to be
  achieved before the end of the contract)
• a good proposal identifies the scope of the work
  and responsibility with clarity, without leaving
  space to interpretation (and misunderstandings)
  not only between ESA and the team, but among the
  team itself (prime and subs)
• a weak proposal would inevitably lead to a
  troubled project
• to place a contract we need from you more than
  good ideas. We need a good proposal

Helpful Hints

• understanding the documents that form part of the
  ITT is the prerequisite to prepare a good
  proposal
• include in the Proposal all the elements that
  define the contractual work (ESA SOW is generic)
  as the proposal will be an integral part of the
  contract
• check that your proposal is compliant with all
  ESA requirements (as detailed in Cover Letter,
  Statement of Work and Special Tender Conditions)
• - confirm your acceptance of the draft contract
  or otherwise state any exceptions
• bear in mind that your proposal will be evaluated
  against the criteria specified in Annex 1 to the
  Special Tender Conditions
• note that all documentation submitted to ESA
  (during tender period and contract execution) has
  to be in English
