Celtonn is proud to be featured in the ‘Space Activities in Ireland 2023’ report (page 15), highlighting our role among 25 innovative companies that are advancing products and technologies across diverse sectors, including telecommunications, earth observation, and space exploration. 🚀 At Celtonn, we specialize in developing cutting-edge millimeter wave communication systems for both satellite and terrestrial applications. In the emerging 6G communications landscape, Celtonn is at the forefront, crafting device-to-satellite semiconductor systems (D-Band) that provide access to the bandwidth required to support the massive data demands of next-generation 6G networks. Our advanced high-frequency systems (W-Band) have also attracted the interest of one of the world’s leading aerospace companies, which is leveraging these technologies for aerospace communications. The space economy, valued at $630 billion in 2023, is projected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2035, growing at an average annual rate of 9%—significantly faster than global GDP growth. Celtonn is thrilled to be part of this dynamic industry and to contribute to shaping the future of space and telecommunications. 🌌📡 https://lnkd.in/edAFbAUU Enterprise Ireland, European Space Agency - ESA, Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Tyndall National Institute, Nexus Innovation Centre, & ESA Space Solutions Centre Ireland

With a total budget of €46.3 million, the Horizon Europe Space Research call 2024 offers a variety of exciting collaboration opportunities for the space community. New call for: Destination 5 'Open strategic autonomy in developing, deploying and using global space-based infrastructures, services, applications and data’, under 'Horizon Europe Cluster 4 - Digital, Industry and Space' will fund projects in four topics: - Copernicus for Land and Water (HORIZON-CL4-2024-SPACE-01-35 ; Research and Innovation Action) – available budget €4 million - Copernicus for Security (HORIZON-CL4-2024-SPACE-01-36 ; Research and Innovation Action) – available budget: €8 million Quantum Space Gravimetry Phase-B study & Technology Maturation (HORIZON-CL4-2024-SPACE-01-64 ; - Research and Innovation Action) – available budget: €14.2 million Space technologies for European non-dependence and competitiveness (HORIZON-CL4-2024-SPACE-01-73 ; - Research and Innovation Action) – available budget: €20.1 million The deadline for this call, which is being managed by HaDEA, is 21 March 2024. https://lnkd.in/eE-uk68g

Look: Sometimes transmitting packets over Low-Earth Orbit satellites is faster (in terms of latency) than user Silica Optical Fibers, as we show in our paper: Round Trip Times (RTTs): Comparing Terrestrial and LEO Satellite Networks presented in 27th Conference on Innovation in Clouds, Internet and Networks (ICIN 2024) The reason is that light travels at 300,000 km/s over the air and only at 200,000 km/s over silica fibers. So sometimes latency is smaller over close LEO satellites than fibers that have to surround mountains, desserts, etc. See more details here: https://lnkd.in/dfRTGzKd

📢 Invitation to Tender Released! 🚀 Towards Operational Quantum Computing for Earth Observation This activity aims to develop procedures and methodologies for the validation, deployment, and utilization of quantum-based algorithms for Earth Observation #QC4EO. This will end with the deployment on real hardware of at least two #QC4EO use cases, where at least one of them relates to #DigitalTwinEarth. This activity is part of ESA efforts related to the Quantum Computing for Earth Observation Initiative (QC4EO initiative) that has been launched in October 2020 at the Phi-week and currently running at the ESA #philab at European Space Agency - ESA.

A major milestone has been successfully achieved on schedule! The ESA FIRESPELL activity has successfully completed its Preliminary Design Review. The objective of FIRESPELL is to develop a unified particle radiation model for interplanetary missions that extends the European Specification modelling of solar energetic particles to energies down to 0.04 MeV and includes the contribution of Jovian electrons. For this purpose, a large volume of energetic electron and ion flux measurements from cornerstone European and US missions - such as Wind, ACE, SOHO, IMP8 and ARTEMIS - were evaluated, reprocessed, and calibrated. FIRESPELL is led by SPARC (GR) in partnership with the University of Athens (GR), the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (DE), the University of Barcelona (ES) and the Catholic University of Leuven (BE). The activity is funded by the European Space Agency under ESA Contract No. 4000142510/23/NL/CRS awarded by SPARC in response to the Open Invitation to Tender "Particle Radiation Modelling for interplanetary missions extending to low energies".

Today there is unlimited opportunity for companies to take advantage of the efficiencies, savings, and benefits that #satellite and #SpaceTechnology can offer. That opportunity is bringing with it exponential growth and rosy predictions about the resiliency and future outlook of the industry. How can you keep up with all of this growth? Attending the SATELLITE Conference & Exhibition would be a good start. https://lnkd.in/epbxNDSd

Measuring the output energy of a space laser from the ground? That's not possible, or is it? In our recent paper published in #Optica, we show how it’s done thanks to the unique cooperation of the #ESA #Aeolus team with the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina and their colleagues from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (#KIT). 👉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eVETFDRf
