Satellites are helping to improve at-home patient care for those living in remote areas of the UK. ESA and the UK Space Agency (UKSA) are working with the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) to trial the Digital Ambulance of the Future project, which enables paramedics to stay connected to vital patient data, support and resources as they serve people in remote areas. The ultimate aim is to improve patient care and reduce unnecessary hospital admissions.

Supporting rapid disaster response through space

ESA has launched a new partnership with industry through a project called SMART-CONNECT. The project aims to mitigate the challenges presented when traditional communication channels are disrupted during times of crisis, through facilitating the efficient and timely exchange of secure information between first responders and disaster control centres.

In one of the longest-running trials of a self-driving vehicle, collecting data over 13 000 km of autonomous travel, Darwin Innovation Group has been testing a novel driverless shuttle bus at Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, in Oxford, UK; home to ESA’s European Centre for Space Applications and Telecommunications (ECSAT). The technology is funded under the ESA 5G/6G Programme with the support of the UK Space Agency.

Stravros Hios optical ground station

Sending vast quantities of data between satellites speedily and securely means using light to communicate. Now a group of space companies, research centres and universities working with ESA has established a series of specifications on how exactly satellites should use light to talk to one another – and to link to their ground stations.
