The program substantially strengthens national capabilities in Earth Observation and Secure Communications, ensuring more frequent and updated data for mapping, navigation, precision agriculture, spatial planning and natural disaster response.
With the participation of universities, research institutions and Greek businesses, the program – implemented by the Ministry of Digital Governance with the support of ESA – European Space Agency and funding from the Recovery and Resilience Fund – is progressing according to plan and ensures access to the OroraTech and Open Cosmos networks.
As emphasized by the Secretary General of Telecommunications and Posts, Mr. Κωνσταντίνος Καράντζαλος, η σημερινή εξέλιξη αποτελεί αποτέλεσμα συνειδητής επένδυσης στο ελληνικό ανθρώπινο δυναμικό, στις εγχώριες τεχνολογικές δυνατότητες και στη βιομηχανία, θέτοντας τα θεμέλια για πραγματική αυτονομία και για να καταστεί η Ελλάδα παραγωγός και εξαγωγέας αεροδιαστημικής τεχνογνωσίας.
