DestinE Platform – Advanced Application & Services

Description

This Open Competition (OC) consists of onboarding and initial operations of mature Advanced Applications (AAS) and Services on the Destination Earth (DestinE) Platform, promoting a digital attractive ecosystem for the DestinE initiative.

The primary goal of this initial OC is to onboard a wide range of AAS across different applicable fields, functionalities, and complexities on the DestinE Platform. Mature Applications and Services that are very close to a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 8 with expectations of reaching this level during the onboarding phase, will thus be eligible for tendering in this OC.

Atos has been awarded a prime contract by ESA in order to promote an attractive digital ecosystem with supporting the exploitation of the DestinE Digital Twins and the Data Lake.

This primary contract encompasses the management of the current tender in accordance with ESA Best Practices, facilitating an open competition for AAS to be selected as subcontractors to Atos, and subsequently to operate as part of the DestinE platform.

Full details of the invitation to tender are available on the ESA Star Publication (ESA tendering website).

About the DestinE Platform 

The DestinE Platform is being developed by ESA and its contractors as the main access point for the Destination Earth system which includes the Data Lake (DEDL) and the Digital Twin Engine and the first two Digital Twins. The DestinE Platform will provide applications, models, and simulations for expert and non-expert users to obtain accurate, actionable and significant information for policy and decision making in support of the Green and Digital transformation. It will leverage applications in the field of climate change, energy, hydrometeorological extremes, wildfires, urbanization, and ecosystem monitoring, amongst many others.

The platform combines generic and user specific services in a user-customisable environment to:

• unify access to data generated or collected, referenced by DestinE
• provide applications to support development, modelling, analysis, and visualisation
• provide tools for carrying out simulations, data retrievals and data transformations
• develop and operate own applications and services
• share results, data, applications and libraries

The platform is being developed to be open, interactive, collaborative, performant, evolutive, attractive and extensible.
