ESA European Aspects of SPS

Part III presents the concluded recommendations for a near-term and a medium-term study programme concerning a potential SPS-im- plementation for Western Europe. These study programmes have to find out whether .there are problems which would definitely prevent a SPS-system from being introduced to Western Europe or not, and to improve the understanding of special European problems. To accomplish early results, which should provide a decision platform for on-going activities (late in 1980), the authors identified 22 near- term study tasks amounting roughly between 9.75 and 13.5 man-years. The medium-term study tasks which mainly should be in-depth investigations of the European concerns, are pointed out more globally. They at first should be defined by the results gained from the near-term efforts.
