ACCEDE - ESCCON 2025
Seville, Spain
25 – 27 March 2025
March 25th – 27th | Seville, Spain
The two main European events devoted to the use of EEE components in space application, ACCEDE (Assessment of Commercial Components Enabling Disruptive space Electronics) and ESCCON (The European Space Components Conference) merge in Seville, combining the trends in using and validating COTS for space with the evolution and activities being developed and implemented under the ESCC system.
Since the successful ACCEDE events in 2019 and 2022, significant evolution happened in the industry and a lot of studies and expertise have been gathered.
Universities, companies, and institutions are working hard to gather knowledge and find methodologies to safely use COTS in different scenarios, not only to address the needs of so-called “New Space” programs such as constellations and/or nano and small satellites but also to reach the technical challenges in the more demanding space missions and applications.
Among others, we will cover topics such as:
- Studies on the reliability of EEE COTS for use in space
- Policy aspects / quality provisions in using COTS
- COTS Selection process
- COTS use cases: successes, problems and failures
- Radiation hardness assurance when using COTS
- Commercialisation aspects, …, etc.
After the last ESCCON event in Toulouse, much has occurred in the EEE component domain in Europe and ESA. Geopolitical decisions were implemented that affected the countries’ involvement: EU Chips Act, EEE Component Sovereignty, etc.
Significant efforts and research were made in new technological areas, such as photonics, advanced manufacturing and packaging, and wide bandgap technologies, including power devices. Remarkable works have also been implemented in topics like standardization, updates of quality assurance policies, etc.
Relevant ESCC updates will be provided and feedback from other space agencies like NASA, JAXA, DLR, CNES, etc., covered.
Mission classifications, discussions on cost aspects, comparisons between classes, COTS/non-COTS, will be commonly addressed topics with ACCEDE.
Invited talks is initiated, and a call for ideas extended until 31th December 24. The workshop is designed for oral presentations, and talks gathered in sessions following a single track. The presentation duration will be in the range of 20 minutes, including 5 minutes for questions.
For those interested in giving a presentation or talk in any of the event areas (ACCEDE & ESCCON), we encourage you to contact the technical committee contact points identified below.
“Panel discussions” are envisaged, addressing hot topics with a key moderator and selected panellist speakers.
Industrial exhibitions and sponsor opportunities are available for those interested.
