Through collaboration among leading European research institutes and industries, STEP is set to enhance Earth observation capabilities and reinforce Europe's autonomy in critical space technologies.

  • Objective 4: To enhance eSWIR prototype FPA architecture and functions to improve deployment for space business
  • Objective 5: To develop dedicated hardware and related software required to characterize and evaluate the T2SL eSWIR FPAs developed in the project.
  • Objective 6: To characterize the main Electro-Optical performance of eSWIR VGA FPAs and eSWIR space prototype FPAs.
  • Objective 7: To evaluate the capability of these FPAs to withstand critical space program environments.
  • Objective 8: To set foundations for commercial exploitation (cf. Figure 26 and Figure 27) and opportunities with the identified stakeholders and to define the roadmap for space mission insertion
