Space-Earth Technologies

Space-Earth Technologies address critical challenges related to Earth observation, space systems, and the interaction between space and terrestrial environments. This area builds on a mature collaboration between Portuguese institutions and UT Austin.

In Phase 4, it remains a strategic domain for science-based decision-making and global monitoring.

Scope in Phase 4

Phase 4 activities will focus on advancing scientific understanding and technological capabilities related to Earth systems, space infrastructures, and their societal applications.

What this area covers

  • Earth observation and remote sensing
  • Space systems engineering and data analysis
  • Climate monitoring and environmental modeling
  • Navigation, geodesy, and geospatial technologies
  • Space-Earth interaction phenomena

Activities under this area will be progressively launched throughout Phase 4.
