At ESA, through the Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems programme , we’re addressing _ _ solutions for when safety and security of communication services cannot be guaranteed by the terrestrial networks alone. With our programme Space systems for Safety and Security, or 4S, we are pioneering cutting-edge development of secure and resilient satellite communication systems, technologies and services to improve life on Earth.
Picture a world where our critical infrastructure is protected from cyber threats, and where communication links work when the world around them doesn't. A transportation network where safety is not just a priority, but a guarantee. Where air traffic flows completely efficiently, reliable and connected. Railways operate without interruption, and shipping can navigate safely and securely.
Imagine that our first responders are coordinating via seamless communications, and institutional agencies are acting rapidly and decisively when there's a crisis. All thanks to secure and safe satellite communication systems, orbiting above the planet. This is the future we're building with the 4S programme. A future where space systems safeguard our security, making sure that connectivity remains our greatest strength. Join us as we continue to push the boundaries of innovation.

We all know the frustration of settling down to watch something, only to spend more time staring at a buffering screen than enjoying the content. This common annoyance could soon be history, thanks to ESA's 5G-EMERGE project, which is combining satellite technology with 5G networks to revolutionise how we receive media content, particularly in areas where traditional internet connections struggle to deliver.

ESA is taking a significant step towards creating a more digitally inclusive Europe through a new partnership that will bring internet access to the hardest-to-reach areas. Reliable connectivity has become essential in today's digital age, yet for many Europeans in rural villages, mountainous regions, and small islands, dependable internet access remains out of reach.

This week, at the International Aeronautics Congress in Milan, ESA officially kicked off a new project called Ciseres, a small satellite mission designed to significantly improve crisis response times using artificial intelligence (AI). Part of ESA's Civil Security from Space (CSS) programme, Ciseres aims to enhance satellite capabilities to alert first responders and government officials within minutes of the occurrence of a disaster – such as floods, fires, landslides. The project is led and co-financed by Deimos, a European space tech company specialising in small satellite missions.

It's been just over one year since ESA placed contracts for seven Greek CubeSat missions, which aim to enhance Greece's space capabilities while providing practical benefits to citizens. These CubeSats, developed by small and medium-sized companies and universities across Greece, underscore the nation's expanding space industry and its commitment to advancing space applications, such as secure optical and radio frequency (RF) connectivity, IoT communications, earth observation and RF spectrum monitoring. The missions are a collaboration of scientists, engineers and space industry partners from across Greece.
