Musis

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MUSIS ( MUltinational Space-based Imaging System for Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Observation ) was a multilateral European program for the development of a common core ground segment (generic user ground segment, UGS) for military satellite reconnaissance. It should provide an initial qualification from 2015. The countries of Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Greece and Belgium belonged to the program. As a category B project under the umbrella of the European Defense Agency (EDA), it should be processed by the OCCAR .

The satellites themselves (the so-called space segments) should remain with their owners. However, strictly regulated access to a precisely quoted image capacity per user and room segment should take place via the UGS. The considered space segments were:

Since access to an essentially civilian system of the ASI ( Agenzia Spaziale Italiana ) (max. 17% of the image capacity should be made available to all military users) had already been taken into account with CSG , other civilian satellites such as the German were briefly discussed Include TerraSAR-X, Tandem-X and EnMap systems.

With the meeting on 6./7. In May 2010, the program was essentially terminated, but this became apparent early on.
