Invitation to a w<strong>or</strong>kshop promoting applications using the HYLAS 1 satellite<br />
19 th October 2011, Harwell UK<br />
Avanti and <strong>ESA</strong> are offering an opp<strong>or</strong>tunity to exploit capacity on the HYLAS 1<br />
satellite f<strong>or</strong> applications projects that apply f<strong>or</strong> the agency’s ARTES 3-4 and ARTES<br />
20 programme lines. Application projects should develop and then trial a satellitebased<br />
application f<strong>or</strong> an extended period with real users in <strong>or</strong>der to gather feedback<br />
and refine the product bef<strong>or</strong>e commercial launch.<br />
During the w<strong>or</strong>kshop participants will gain a clear understanding of the capabilities<br />
of the satellite, including Avanti’s ground segment, and the conditions of use f<strong>or</strong> the<br />
capacity provided. <strong>ESA</strong> will explain the process on how to submit proposals and the<br />
timing f<strong>or</strong> the next steps. There will also be a chance to get “hands-on experience”<br />
with a Ka band VSAT terminal as well as have a one to one discussion about your<br />
project ideas.<br />
The full draft agenda is presented below.<br />
Some examples of applications that could be developed and trialled within this<br />
initiative are attached, as well as inf<strong>or</strong>mation about travel to <strong>ESA</strong>’s Harwell site.

About HYLAS 1<br />
On 26 th November 2010 a flawless launch took the HYLAS 1 satellite into <strong>or</strong>bit and by mid March<br />
2011 the satellite successfully finished in-<strong>or</strong>bit testing and entered service. HYLAS 1 is an<br />
innovative mission put together in a new way: it is <strong>ESA</strong>’s first public–private partnership resulting<br />
in a full satellite system. The commercial operat<strong>or</strong>, UK-based Avanti Communications, has<br />
contributed most of the mission budget and will use the satellite to deliver broadband services to<br />
customers. <strong>ESA</strong>’s involvement focuses on HYLAS 1's payload technology.
