(23. August 2012) The EDA Mandate also identifies the Agency as the appropriate body to liaise with European activities that could be potentially of interest for MUSIS, such as those included in the EU Commission Framework Program 7 (ex.: the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security program, GMES) and those of the European Space Agency (ex.: European Data Relay Satellite, EDRS). In addition, EDA also represents the MUSIS nations’ interests in any institutional forum where Defence and Security issues related to Space capabilities are discussed and synergies between civil and military EU Space capabilities are addressed.

Outcomes of the MUSIS project: development of a common ground user segment; outcomes from EDA activities: new partner, civil/military synergies in the field of Earth Observation.
