Hier soir, Valérie Pecresse, Ministre de l’Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche, a inauguré officiellement la première édition du Toulouse Space Show en présence de tous les partenaires institutionnels de la Région, Claude Terrazzoni, President de la Chambre de commerce et d'industrie, Pierre Cohen, President du Grand Toulouse et Maire de la ville, Alain Fillola, Conseiller Général de Haute Garonne, Martin Malvy, Ancien ministre et Président de la région Midi Pyrénées, Yannick d’Escatha, président du CNES Tous ont rappelé le rôle de la région Midi Pyrénées dans le domaine spatial. En se félicitant du très bon accueil fait par les participants à ce premier « Toulouse Space Show », le souhait a été émis de réitérer l’expérience. La soirée s’est poursuivie avec le « Ice Breaker » où les 92 exposants ainsi que les 11 00 congressistes étaient conviés pour célébrer ce nouveau rendez vous mondial de l’Espace. Merci d’avoir pris votre ticket pour l’Espace, conservez le pour le prochain « Toulouse Space Show en 201 0. 2 TOULOUSE SPACE SHOW DAILY GAZETTE PARTNERS Thales Alenia Space LIAISON- Appli NAV GALILEO Thales Alenia Space promoted Galileo system as soon as year 2000, starting with system studies. This navigation systems benefit from TAS experience in EGNOS ( fully operational since 2005 ) for the ground system and GIOVE for the satellite. Today, more than 1 00 Thales engineers from france, italy, spain, germany and Belgium are working for this very ambitious project in order to give Europe a self controlled navigation system. The final system will have 30 satellites and will achieve a tremendous performance of 30cm while ensuring a high reliability and integrity of the signal in order to be available to support all services including safety of line service. The first units and subsystems of IOV ( a first demonstration system with 4 satellites) are designed and under production. All space industry is concentrating their efforts to achieve a first satellite delivery beginning of 201 0. Recently Europe decided to finance by public fundings the deployment of the full system for a 2.4 billion euro. Thales is fully involved in the answer to Europe for this phase of the program that is expected throughout this year. This will allow Europe to master the European navigation system by the end of year 201 3. How to offer more safety and security for Civil Security forces, how to increase the efficiency of Waste Collection Companies, those are the challenges addressed by the project LIAISON, funded by the European Commission. “LIAISON began in 2003 at a time when the market for Location-Based Services was in its infancy,” says Remi Challamel, a project manager at ThalesAleniaSpace and coordinator of LIAISON. “The aim was to give the professional market for LBS solutions a boost through the development of suitable, reliable and affordable technologies.” 5 years later, after 6 test cases successfully deployed on real operational conditions, the first generation of solutions is available. The project has enabled the development of advanced technologies like the Enhanced Assisted GPS system (for outdoor and light indoor environment), and has pioneered indoor LBS. The LIAISON project has definitely ushered in the first generation of LBS and laid the foundation for more accurate secondgeneration devices capable of better indoor penetration. EADS Astrium Notes Astrium designs and manufactures a range of versatile satellite platforms, optical and radar instruments and ground segment equipment for meteorological and Earth observation missions. EADS Astrium helps to contribute to one of man's most ambitious goals - the scientific exploration of space. A key partner for ESA programs, Astrium has established a worldwide reputation for space expertise and is playing a major role in the design and development of the new European global satellite navigation system, Galileo, scheduled to be operational by 2008. - Accurate positioning at all times and in all places, safe and precise navigation, and efficient route planning – in future, all this will be synonymous with one name above all: Galileo. The programme’s second test satellite, Giove-B, develop by Astrium, is scheduled to be launched on 27 April. - Astrium has been appointed by ESA to be the prime contractor to build Sentinel-2, the first optical satellite in the Sentinel series. The main industrial contract worth €1 95 million was signed today, by Volker Liebig, ESA´s Director of Earth observation, Evert Dudok, CEO Astrium Satellites and Uwe Minne, Astrium´s Director of Earth Observation and Science in Friedrichshafen (Germany). Geo-information and Navigation: the heart of Astrium Demand for geo-information is ever increasing as it proves to be an essential asset in so many walks of life. Supporting sustainable development in ‘old’ and ‘new’ countries, making the right decisions at the right time, particularly in event of crises, such as during severe flooding and in situations where humanitarian aid is required, depends on having up-to-date local and global information. Providing such data is what EADS Astrium’s subsidiary Infoterra is all about. Marc Tondriaux, Head of Infoterra “Our aim is to develop our satellite service applications to increase profitability and, moreover, to generate additional demand for data and future Earth observation satellite systems (e.g. the GMES, Global Monitoring for Environment and Security, initiative) – indeed, we are already positioned as the European leader for three of the four primary GMES areas: land-cover, natural risk management and humanitarian aid. Europe will obviously still be our primary base, but we will have established subsidiaries and/or partner networks in Asia and the US, with partnerships worldwide, generating 40–50% of our turnover outside Europe. Another objective we have, together with Spot Image, is to fund either entirely or in part the development of Earth observation satellites. Overall, I firmly believe that Infoterra has a bright and promising future ahead and is a key element of EADS Astrium’s future Earth observation business." Outreach The Toulouse Space Show is the opportunity for the city and its region to welcome diverse events to all the public to make accessible the Space and its scientific innovations. With conferences, animations and exhibitions, Toulouse is more than ever this month, the Space European Capital. The subjects developed during these conference are the same that those treated during the colloquiums but within the reach of the General public. On Wednesday April 1 6th, Gérard Brachet and Jean, members of Academie de l’Air et de l’Espace reminded the role Europe in the conquest of Space in front of 1 50 persons. On April 21 st, Yvon Le Maho spoke about the environmental constraints of the penguins. This conference of Yvon Le Maho, écophisiologist and Member of the Academy of the Sciences and the National Academy of Pharmacy, was simultaneously translated for the deaf persons. On subjects so diverse as playful, the other conferences will be held this week with the coming of two other eminent speakers. Signature of the regional Space plan How perpetuate a reputation and a regional knowledge? The Region Midi-Pyrénées, first spatial pole in Europe with about 9000 jobs and two major industrial sites (Thales Alenia Space and EADS Astrium) signed its new regional Spatial plan(shot) yesterday. The stakes are important: This new plan indeed has to harmonize the actions of all the economic actors involved in the development of the space sector in Midi-Pyrénées, whether it is the big research companies, the manufacturers and the local authorities. This plan also aims at facilitating the regional development of the economy, notably in the field of the space applications, and so at preserving its rank of first European pole. Space evening in « Le bikini » Last Thursday, the Concert hall " Le Bikini ", which welcomes on its stage the biggest groups of music, was this time the place of a quite particular evening dedicated to the Space and its innovations. In front of a room of about 200 persons, short films about the Space were commented by Daniel Hernandez and Jacques Arnoult members from the CNES. The audience was then invited to ask questions to the speakers to pursue the debate. This evening was the proof which the space research and its stakes gets a wide audience and not only researchers and engineers. ©CNES/Benjamin Guindre ©CNES/Benjamin Guindre Conferences to the General public TOULOUSE SPACE SHOW DAILY GAZETTE Midi-Pyrenees Expansion, the Regional Development Agency of Midi-Pyrenees European Navigation Conference in the Toulouse Space Show ©CNES/Benjamin Guindre - Assist with location of new businesses in Midi-Pyrenees, and improve the region's business reception offer - Develop the region's priority business sectors and anticipate economic changes ©CNES/Benjamin Guindre With 28 technical sessions, the ENC-GNSS conference will allow attendees to be informed on the latest development in navigation and positioning systems, techniques and their applications. The status of the main GNSS programmes worldwide will be presented during the plenary on Wednesday. High-level scientific activities will be highlighted during the conference. The performances of the GNSS systems, their space and ground segments and the user equipments are steadily improving to fulfil the need for information on location everywhere, including outdoor and in-door areas. Associated with mobile communication terminals, the new navigation systems offer the opportunity to design an infinite number of new services. Created and financed by the MidiPyrenees Region, Midi-Pyrenees Expansion participates in the implementation of regional economic policy. The Regional Development Agency has two missions: • For companies, Midi-Pyrenees Expansion offers personalized assistance in: - Strategic advice and information on the major regional projects - Selection of available buildings and sites for corporate relocation - Information on human resources, the industrial environment and R&D - Introductions to potential partners - Assistance with financial aid applications • For local authorities , Midi-Pyrenees ©CNES/Benjamin Guindre Since 1 996, the European Group of Institutes of Navigation (EUGIN) organizes a yearly European Navigation Conference, ENC-GNSS. In 2008, the conference will take place in Toulouse on behalf of EUGIN and IFN (The French Institute of Navigation) and will be held within the international week of space applications, Toulouse Space Show'08. During this event, engineers, researchers and decision makers of the satellite navigation community will have the unique opportunity to attend the ENC-GNSS conference but also sessions of the European and Frequency Time Forum conference and a conference on Space Applications. A large exhibition will offer a global overview of the main key actors in the satellite navigation sector. 3 Expansion provides consulting and helps you to define and build your economic development projects: territorial plans for economic infrastructures, creation and extension of business zones, commercial real estate through business centers and incubator projects. Education in Earth Observation Earth observation made possible by satellite has been since the launch of the first meteorological satellite TIROS-1 in 1 960 a continuously refined space technology to observe Planet Earth and its hugely complex physical and biological interactions. Remote sensing satellites and overall missions have evolved to such a sophisticated level for studying our environment at a global as well as highly localised scale that at present it is unthinkable to study the Earth system without them. The use of Earth Observation data is however still reserved to a limited number of countries that are host to research institutes as well as companies specialising in the analysis of remote sensing data. There is a need particularly in developing countries who tend to be mostly threatened by water scarcity, natural disasters and climate change impacts to gain more knowledge about Earth Observation applications. This need had been recognised by the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS), an international coordinating mechanism established in 1 984 and charged with coordinating international civil spaceborne missions designed to observe and study planet Earth. CEOS created a Working Group on Education, Training, and Capacity Building (WGEdu) in 2003 whose goal is to facilitate activities that enhance international education and training in Earth Observation (EO) techniques, data analysis, interpretation and applications. All of the contributions to this session are therefore leaning onto the suggestions delivered by WG-Edu by establishing teaching resources that can be integrated into capacity building courses worldwide for marine, terrestrial and atmospheric remote sensing aimed at audiences ranging from secondary schools to university level as well as institutes, environmental agencies and other NGOs. A further coordinating body is the GEO (Group on Earth Observations) Capacity Building Committee with very similar aims as CEOS to strengthen the capability of all countries, in particular developing countries, to use Earth Observation data and products in a sustainable manner. CEOS and its members participate in this committee via one representative of the CEOS WG Edu. At national level many of the major space agencies (CNES, DLR, ASI, NASA, CSA, etc.) have their own educational programme to which WGEdu provides a coordinating mechanism to assure fruitful complementarities. Close cooperations exist between the agencies and national universities (University ofHeidelberg, University of Berlin, University of Delft, International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation ITC, University ofStanford) and industries such as SpotImage or Brockman Consult. On the university level there is a multitude of projects linking different institutes for providing resources for EO education such as the Science Education through Earth Observation for High Schools SEOS project. SEOS combines 11 partners to create 1 5 electronic learning tutorials for secondary education. Some ofthe partners are present at this session. In general EO educational resources consist ofelectronic learning tutorials that are available via internet and therefore accessible world wide such as ESA’s Eduspace Website or also the SEOS project once completed. Their material may be used by students directly or by teachers in the classroom. Research institutes and space agencies also provide additional capacity building courses and PhD curricula for suitable candidates. At ESA the Dragon and Tiger programmes as well as capacity building projects from the International Relations Department in cooperation with the Earth Observation Programme, consisting of short 2 week courses for EO education worldwide has been established for a number of years and proved to be an invaluable effort in training local groups in the spacebased management of their own environment. More specifically the present contributions of the educational session are describing UNESCO’s efforts towards EO education, ESA’s Eduspace programme for secondary school education, the SEOS project and some efforts of their partners, and a programme of worldwide capacity building training courses offered by the Dutch ITC and French IAS Institut Aeronautique et Spatial. 4 TOULOUSE SPACE SHOW DAILY GAZETTE International Exhibition and Business meetings For the first time, Midi-Pyrenees Expansion, the Regional Development Agency of the Midi-Pyrenees region, has organized an international exhibition on space applications, combined with business meetings and related events.96 national and international exhibitors are participating, providing opportunities for numerous exchanges Presentations will include the application of space technology to topics such as agriculture, archeology, transport, teleservices, etc. Special focus will be on satellite navigation.

Retrospective (extracted from "CNES qui se passe" N° 72January 1993) La navigation artificielles aux étoiles… Daniel Ludwig Des pilotes d’ avion ayant accès à des informations rapides et fiables, la fluidité du trafic mieux gérée, la sécurité aérienne bien assurée : voilà ce que pourrait offrir, entre autres exemples, dans le futur, les satellites. Une équipe d’ ingénieurs du CNES « pilotent » le proj et Complément Européen CE-GPS de radionavigation par satellites. Que le CNES estime fondamental le rôle des satellites dans le futur pour la navigation aérienne est, certes, une grande nouvelle pour la communauté aéronautique internationale ! Que l’ Organisation de l’ Aviation Civile Internationale ait entériné ( septembre 1991) l’ importance du rôle des moyens spatiaux pour améliorer la fluidité du trafic aérien est également une bonne nouvelle pour le CNES, et le secteur spatial en général… L’ intérêt de l’ Etablissement pour la navigation s’ est forgé dans le prolongement naturel de sa compétence en matière de localisation et collecte de données ( Eole, Argos, Sarsat, Doris) ( on parlait de foyer d’ excellence à l’ époque) et n’ est pas récente : la première note date de j uillet 1984 ; le CNES excelle dans le rôle de précurseur du besoin des utilisateurs… Bien sûr, une solution intéressante pour les équipes du CNES serait la mise en place, ex nihilo, d’ un nouveau système spatial ( 18 satellites au moins sont nécessaires) , mais peu réaliste de par son coût pour les utilisateurs. La proposition du CNES est de s’ appuyer sur les systèmes de navigation par satellites existants en gardant en tête la possibilité d’ évoluer vers un système autonome lorsque le besoin s’ en fera sentir. L’ existant c’ est le système américain GPS ( Global Positionning System) : son rôle stratégique durant la guerre du Golfe est connu. Les Etats-Unis se sont engagés à le rendre accessible ( pour le moment gratuitement) à la communauté civile internationale. L’ obj ectif dans un premier temps, est de mettre en place en Europe, un système complémentaire au GPS permettant de fournir aux utilisateurs le « bulletin de santé » du système de navigation qu’ ils utilisent.
