The year 2024 has started at CEIT in the best way, as we begin our participation in a new project, part of the European Union's European Defence Fund 2022 called REACTS (Responsive European Architecture for Space).

The KoM took place at the DLR headquarters in Cologne on January 16th and 17th, bringing together representatives from over thirty entities that are part of REACTS.

REACTS aims to provide European Member States with a new disruptive and collaborative defence capability: a resilient and scalable Network of Responsive Space Systems (RSS), fully interoperable, able to launch satellites and commence data delivery within a timeframe of 72 hours. The project will define a holistic architecture based on the End-user needs, develop a concept of operations (CONOPS), create the roadmap for each technical and governing segment of RSS Network of Systems, provide an analysis and description for RSS Interface standards, design a software-based configuration and simulate the achievable responsiveness.
