By 26 April, if an extension is not granted, binding bids are expected to be submitted for a project original by Greek standards with a total budget of 2.1 million euros and with the Hellenic Space Center as the customer. This is a planning service. satellite missions ground surveillance, which will allow the use satellite data land monitoring, which is especially important for both cadastral needs and disaster management.

In the project, the central role is played by the creation of a system related to Air force radar. This will provide access to commercially available satellite remote sensing data of high and very high spatial resolution, i.e. from 15 cm to 10 meters at the time of receipt. Multiple collections throughout the day and direct control of satellites to collect data in a specific area of ​​interest will be provided.

The Earth Observation Satellites Flight Planning Service will also make optimal use of the European Copernicus satellite system, the usefulness of which in Greece has been particularly noted in cases of major floods and fires.

The implementation of a specific project that appears to be generating significant interest from applicant companies, which will become tangible on April 27, when applications are announced, is estimated to begin no later than winter 2023, with a completion time of 32 months. It will be implemented as a framework agreement involving more than one company, each of which will also implement a sub-project, allowing the service to be put into operation at the departmental level.

The users of the particular system, which will provide data at particularly high resolution and will include various applications for civil protection, the environment, national defense and rural development, are a large number of government agencies.

Today, agencies that need this kind of information are not fully covered by open, i.e. publicly available remote sensing and geospatial data (eg Copernicus space missions) as they need higher spatial and temporal resolution data. As a result, they often move on to purchasing telescope data that is commercially available. However, given that this is done in a fragmented manner and without coordination from a central service such as satellite mission planning, there are a number of fees associated with delays in providing the necessary data or even their parallel feeding. When the project is completed, Greek Space Center will act as a central provider of valuable satellite data to ministries and government agencies.
