Project: AEROS Constellation Project Code: 045911 Objectives: AEROS Constellation (AEROS) project intends to develop a nanosatellite platform as a precursor of a future constellation to leverage the Space/Ocean scientific and economic synergies. The project is formed by a consortium of Portuguese companies, research institutes and universities. It shall develop Portuguese technologies and competencies to monitor and value the ocean, by combining national and international know-how to build the AEROS nanosatellite constellation. Managed from Portugal, AEROS is an integrated system of assets and capabilities including different existing, improved, and new platforms operating in the Ocean and Space, equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and technologies, all connected through a communication network linked to a data gathering, processing and dissemination system.

The Project AEROS Constellation (reference 45911) is co-financed by the ERDF - European Regional Development Fund through the Operational Program for Competitiveness and Internationalisation - COMPETE2020, the North Portugal Operational Program - NORTE 2020 and by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology - FCT under MIT Portugal.
