The Post-EPS Framework

The Post-EPS Programme Preparation includes the Phases 0 and A

• The Phase 0 is currently running and will last until Q4 2009

• The Phase 0 will be closed with the planned MDR (Mission Definition Review)

• The Phase A includes a PCR (Preliminary Concept Review) and will close with a PRR (Preliminary Requirements Review) at system level

EUMETSAT conducts the overall Mission, System and Ground Segment Engineering

ESA conducts Industrial Studies at Pre-feasibility and feasibility level

ESA also ensures coordination at Space Segment Level for the GMES Sentinel 5Post-EPS Programme Preparation process based on the logic deployed for the successful

preparation of the MTG Programme.

MTG entered Phase B in January 2009

User Consultation > 150 User Representatives involved

2 Workshops conducted since 2006

The 1st UC Workshop (DA, 2006) provided very relevant recommendations for the elaboration of mission requirements

This 2nd Workshop will help to discuss on candidate missions to support further consolidation of requirements and concepts

Further Workshops will be organised in the future to keep users informed on progress of Post-EPS during Phase A

The Post-EPS Mission Expert Team 7 meetings already done

Support to Mission Requirements definition and consolidation

Consulted for all relevant requirements descoping necessary to eliminate hard design drivers

Will be maintained during Phase A

The User Consultation Process is a Pillar of the EUMETSAT Programme Preparation process

The Post-EPS Mission Experts Team (PMET) effective work highly recognised and appreciated

Next Steps aim to prepare for important decisions of the EUMETSAT and ESA Councils for the Post-EPS

Programme to endorse MRD and agree on the cooperation schemes
