The Horizon Europe project GOVSATCOM Extreme Events Crisis Management Service (short name: GEXTRECS) has kicked off on 1 February 2024 and held its first meeting at the headquarters of the European Space Agency EUSPA on 8 February.
GEXTRECS will define and demonstrate an End-to-End GOVSATCOM Service supporting Crisis Management by developing a solution that meets user needs and requirements for secure SATCOM, while also exploring synergies with other EU Space Programme components, notably Galileo and Copernicus, in emergency management.
