More than 17,000 satellites are announced for launch into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) before 2027, for the purpose of real-time Earth observation and worldwide connectivity.

The ERC Proof of Concept Grant 966770 “LEOpowver” harvest results of the ERC Advanced Grant 695614 “POWVER” for the LEO market to arrive at orbit-proof software for the continuous, fully automated, power-optimal, and profit maximizing dynamic operation of Low Earth Satellite constellations.

The central activities of LEOpowver are (i) in-orbit validations on a LEO satellite constellation and (ii) in-depth exploration of commercialization opportunities for the orbit-proof software.
