Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) The Programme should ensure the provision of the governmental services and allow for the provision of the commercial services through a dedicated governmental and commercial infrastructure. The Programme should therefore consist of development and validation actions for the construction of the initial space and ground infrastructure and for the launch of the initial space infrastructure. The Programme should then entail deployment activities aimed at completing both the space and ground infrastructure required for the provision of governmental services. The provision of governmental services, the operation, maintenance and continuous improvement of the infrastructure, once deployed, as well as the development of the future generations of the governmental services should be part of the exploitation activities. The exploitation activities should begin as soon as possible with the provision of the initial set of services aimed by 2024, based on existing infrastructure, by 2023, in order to meet as soon as possible the evolving needs of the governmental users.

(14 a) In order to ensure the functioning of the Programme and the protection of Union interests, it is essential to secure, as soon as possible, the orbital slots and frequencies necessary for the deployment of the services. This requires the speedy establishment of the services portfolio, an adequate allocation of rights to use frequencies, and the rapid deployment of the first batch of satellites in 2024.

(41 a) To optimise the efficiency and impact of the Programme, actions should be taken to promote the use and development of open standards, open source technologies and interoperability in the architecture of the secure connectivity system. A more open conception of the system could allow better synergies with other components of the Union Space Programme or national services and applications, optimise costs by avoiding duplication in the development of the same technology, and improve reliability.
