ESA Open Call for Proposals: Kick-starts

Kick-starts are a type of feasibility study and last six months. The aim of a Kick-start is to determine whether a service is technically feasible and commercially viable, and whether there is demand for it. Kick-starts must involve the use of at least one space asset, such as satellite communications, satellite Earth observation data or satellite navigation.


During a Kick-start, the business will:

  • design the technical service architecture

  • engage with potential customers

  • improve the business plan

  • establish next steps in developing the service. 


Businesses can apply for the ESA BASS Open Call for Proposals for Kick-starts at any time throughout the year.
