Technologies for European non-dependence and competitiveness

Proposals shall address technologies identified on the list of Actions for 2015/2017 focusing on those areas that have not so far benefitted from prior Framework Programme funding and representing the highest potential for being implemented through the types of action available in Horizon 2020.

Accordingly, the following priority technologies have been identified:

• U09 – Cost effective multi - junction solar cells for space applications.
• U16 – Space qualified GaN components and demonstrators.
• U17 – High density (up to 1000 pins and beyond) assemblies on PCB and PCBs.
• U21 – Very high speed serial interfaces.
• U23 – Development of large deployable structures for antennas.
• U26 – Space qualified carbon fibre and pre-impregnated material sources for launchers and satellite subsystems.
