The <\/span>Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia<\/span><\/a> (IEEC) has opened the <\/span>public tender procedure for the selection of four projects<\/b> involving the design, installation and management of space technology ground-based infrastructures at the Sant Esteve Teleport.<\/span><\/p>\n

Located at the Montsec Observatory (OdM) in Sant Esteve de la Sarga (Lleida), the San Esteve Teleport is the <\/span>first satellite data control and reception ground station in Catalonia<\/span><\/a> promoted by the Government of Catalonia in collaboration with the IEEC.<\/span><\/p>\n

The announced call aims to<\/span> offer the opportunity to companies, entities or research centres to propose projects related to space technologies,<\/b> in order to deploy and operate ground infrastructures that can complement the current capabilities of the Teleport and contribute to<\/span> boost the Catalan space ecosystem.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

The initiative is part of the NewSpace Strategy of Catalonia, driven by the Government through the Secretariat for Digital Policies of the Ministry of Business and Labour, in collaboration with the IEEC, the<\/span> i2CAT Foundation<\/span><\/a>, and the<\/span> Cartographic and Geological Institute of Catalonia<\/span><\/a> (ICGC).<\/span><\/p>\n

The chosen projects are expected to result in the installation, within the Teleport environment, of infrastructures for technologies such as <\/span>earth-to-space telecommunications<\/b> with satellites and other space vehicles; <\/span>optical communication stations;<\/b> astronomical telescopes or space surveillance and tracking sensors<\/b> (SST), as well as other terrestrial infrastructures intended for the support and development of space technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The call is <\/span>open to companies, organisations or research centres based in any country<\/b> which, if awarded the contract, will be responsible for the management, operation and maintenance of the infrastructures created for a period of five years, extendable for a further five years. In return for the use of the land, the entities <\/span>will pay a fixed fee per project<\/b> and a variable fee based on the percentage of gross revenue generated by the infrastructure.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
