The survey needs to identify Hungarian companies and academia suited to perform small prototyping projects with minimal administrative burden. In addition, the Makerspace will conduct a study on Hungarian potential to develop and operate a network of optical ground stations: aspects to be investigated include, but are not limited to, e.g. the optimum location of potential optical ground stations, the daily and seasonal cloudiness level of the sites, the atmospheric seeing conditions, the sky brightness mainly during thenight, but also during the day. Other topics related to optical and quantum communication development will also be made possible with this activity.The activity will specifically involve small industrial players throughout Hungary, which are at present focused on terrestrial consumer-oriented telecommunication projects.A prime contractor will be responsible for managing the separate individual development contracts. This prime will coordinate and manage all Makerspace activities, and oversee the prototyping projects/surveys. Initially, one activity will be defined by ESA and requested as part of the Statement of Work.The subsequent projects/activities will be jointly defined by ESA and the prime contractor, during the course of the activity. This will allow aligning the activities with the national developments and interests. The activities will target SMEs and industries that do not usually engage with ESA.","ecosrequired":true,"establishment":"ESTEC","firstPublicationDate":"2025-12-22T12:35:37","id":180542,"idEra":24408,"initiatingService":"RNC-FQ","ipmeasure":"N/A","isArchived":false,"isCancelled":false,"isReissued":false,"isToBeReissued":false,"issueQuarter":"234","lastUpdateTime":"2026-11-02T15:31:54","lastUpdateUser":"sapancot","openDate":"2026-11-02T15:31:53","priceRange":"200-500 KEURO","programmeReference":"OP-Other Act.
