Miniaturization of Payloads (EO and SAR) for Small Satellites up to 180 kg Class

Source

Source summary

Miniaturise electro-optical and synthetic-aperture-radar payloads for satellites up to the 180 kg class without compromising usable image quality. The source connects lower payload weight to lower-cost, larger-scale manufacture and requires compatibility with the satellite buses being developed under the existing iDEX multi-payload small-satellite challenge.

Analysis of SAR imagery using various tech to include SAR & EO Imagery fusion and Metadata exploitation.

The source notes that synthetic-aperture-radar imagery remains useful at night and in bad weather but is hard to interpret without optical references and specialist knowledge. It suggests, rather than mandates, fusing SAR and electro-optical imagery, extracting changes, and using user-defined stable terrain, infrastructure or standard targets to enhance readability. It also asks for software that exposes material-related information derivable from SAR metadata while keeping observations distinguishable from enhanced or substituted content.

Development of Space Weather Package to include Sensors, Processing and Analysing Software

The challenge asks for a space-weather package combining sensors with software for data processing and analysis. It should detect and interpret natural conditions that can disrupt space assets and dependent services, enabling predictive or preventive protective action rather than only post-event diagnosis.

Autonomous Docking Operations for On-Orbit Maintenance and Refuelling (OOMR)

The challenge asks for autonomous docking technologies that support refuelling, maintenance and upgrades of friendly, cooperative spacecraft in orbit. It covers precise rendezvous, proximity operations, terminal guidance, docking methods and the interfaces needed to service an agreed target spacecraft.
