EPIC Meeting on New Space
Noordwijk, The Netherlands

In cooperation with


The EPIC Meeting on New Space brought together 92 participants from 74 companies and organizations to cover some of the key priorities for the “New Space” road map. The purpose of the so-called “New Space” trend, is to bring to the Space market mature or established technologies that either compete with or complement existing commercial space services.

The ESA priorities covered at the EPIC meeting were:

new solutions for miniaturized and low cost LIDAR, RADAR;
new concepts for optical network architectures in space; solutions for ultra-low power highly efficient and miniaturized datacom transceivers (using Photonic Integrated Circuits, plasmonics);
the use of novel cameras and sensors for remote gas analysis as well as environmental monitoring; and last but not least,
new concepts for atomic clocks for both timing and navigation, as well as new quantum technologies and applications.

Testimonials

It was my first meeting with EPIC and I now understand the value for my and other organizations in being an EPIC member. I was very pleased with the accommodation, attendees, talks, and discussions and found it very informative and fruitful and I will definitely further exchange with some companies on this topic. I am looking forward to upcoming events in the future.
