SUMMARY:SNSF first MARVIS call
DESCRIPTION:Submission deadline: 01.02.2023\n	\n	The SNSF launches the Multidisciplinary Applied Research Ventures in Space (MARVIS) call. With this scheme\, we promote consortia projects that explore space. \nOn 1 February 2022\, the Federal Council adopted the Ordinance on the Promotion of National Activities in the Space Sector (NASO). Based on NASO\, the SNSF launches the first MARVIS call\, through a mandate by the State Secretariat for Education\, Research and Innovation (SERI). It has an annual budget of up to CHF 3.5 Mio CHF. The SERI plans to mandate calls every 2-4 years. \nA MARVIS project is eligible for funding if the following criteria are met: \n\nIt is a research or innovation project in the space sector that is of national importance.\nIts multidisciplinary character is mirrored by a consortium that consists of at least two higher education research centres and at least one national or international industrial partner.\nOne or several of the higher education research centres are responsible for the project.\nIt has a network of organisations and institutions that goes beyond the members of the consortium.\n\nResearchers can submit their projects from 1st November 2022 to 1st February 2023. The funding decisions will be communicated by the Federal Department of Economic Affairs\, Education and Research (EAER) in November 2023. The earliest project start date is 1st December 2023.\nThe MARVIS funding instrument aims at developing specific core competencies in the space sector at the higher education research centres as well as their national and international networks; maintaining and strengthening Switzerland’s position in strategically important and future-oriented research and innovation fields in the space sector; implementing Swiss space policy; gearing research and innovation work in the space sector to the needs and long-term strategies of partners in industry.\nThe evaluation procedure will be performed in two steps: \n\nIn Step 1 of the evaluation\, the scientific-technical quality of the project is evaluated by the SNSF. This evaluation is based on the project outline\, which consists of the research plan complemented with the CVs as well as the supplementary documents. Based on the Step 1 evaluation\, the SNSF submits a recommendation to SERI\, as well as an assessment of the alignment of the projects with ESA activities.\nIn Step 2 of the evaluation\, the SERI will evaluate the project according to the space\, research and innovation policy. For this\, the project plan is made accessible to SERI. This project plan consists of the project outline complemented with detailed information on the requested funding.\n\nA national and international Steering committee appointed by the Presiding Board of the National Research Council of the SNSF is responsible for step 1 of the evaluation on scientific and technical criteria.\nProposals must be submitted using mySNF. The general rules of the SNSF apply to the MARVIS call.\n	\n								\n	\n	\n		\n		\n			\n			\n				Call document (PDF)Funding Regulations (PDF)Implementation Regulations for the Funding Regulations (PDF)

SUMMARY:Lunar Hub: a venture to explore the extreme and the uncharted\, by David Rodríguez
DESCRIPTION:eSpace (EPFL Space Center) introduced in 2020 a new initiative aimed at bridging a series of identified knowledge and technology gaps within the latest lunar exploration and infrastructure development roadmaps. We\, at eSpace\, advocate for a holistic space program that effectively and sustainably explores and develops the Moon. To do so\, upcoming exploration missions call for ever more capable robotic systems and instruments\, including the capability to explore longer distances (>100 km) within highly constrained time windows (e.g.\, shorter daylight cycles in polar regions) and under extreme environmental conditions of which little to no data is readily available (permanently shadowed regions and lunar skylights are some examples). \nA long-term\, effective\, faster\, and minimally altered characterization of these regions requires improved mobility systems as well as the use of high-resolution mapping and imagery\, which most lunar missions to date still lack. Today we present EPFL’s Lunar Hub\, eSpace’s latest venture to create a home base for lunar research and technology within Switzerland. We are already working toward developing the technology required to traverse the lunar surface 100 times faster than any autonomous rover ever before\, providing robotic assets and soon humans with the highest resolution maps of key\, so far inaccessible regions with our lunar reconnaissance drone\, defining the most effective ways in which small heterogeneous groups of robots can cooperate to access\, explore\, and jointly prospect the most scientifically valuable regions\, and equipping them with the latest optical instrumentation with our Dragonfly camera. \n				\n	David is currently responsible for the Lunar Hub\, leading the center’s efforts in lunar research and technology development with projects on topics spanning from fast off-Earth robotic mobility\, reconnaissance drones\, low-cardinality multi-agent systems\, to novel sensing instrumentation for localization and mapping. He also provides system-level and managerial support to projects on active deorbiting of defunct satellites as well as supporting the activities of multiple students’ associations related to space at EPFL.” \n	Formerly he held several positions as an NPI researcher for the Automation & Robotics Lab at the European Space Agency and as a visiting scientist for the Institute of System Dynamics & Control of the German Aerospace Center. He holds a Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Carlos III University of Madrid\, a Master’s Degree in Space Studies from the International Space University\, and a PhD in robotics from Tohoku University. \n	\n								\n	\n	\n		\n		David’s social media:
