Quantum Space Gravimetry topic

About

Opens for applications on 2027-03-09. A European Commission call for proposals. Expected Outcome: Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes: Support the EU space policy by fostering the development of groundbreaking space technology and support the Quantum Europe Strategy. Enhance the technological maturation of the critical components necessary to perform quantum space gravimetry. Foster the technological leadership and non-dependence of the EU in the field of quantum gravimetry from space and promote the EU’s competitiveness in quantum technologies. This action aims at supporting the maturation, development and/or implementation of quantum gravimetry technology for space. Monitoring the Earth gravity field provides key information and data on Earth mass movements. This type of data is of utmost importance for Earth science and used in many areas, for example to monitor ice sheet changes, floods or droughts, volcanic activities and earthquakes. The community of users for such data spans from climate scientists to geophysicists and relies on quality and precise data. Monitoring the Earth gravity field from space provides a global scale to the user community and fosters the development of models and understanding of the Earth as an integrate
