Copernicus Masters
The European Earth Monitoring Competition
1 June – 15 September 2013

www.copernicus-masters.com

Copernicus –
Global Monitoring for Environment and Security

Copernicus will provide accurate, timely and easily accessible
information
• To improve the management of the environment
• To understand and mitigate the effects of climate change
• To ensure safety and security for the European citizens.

Copernicus will consist of
• Five families of dedicated satellites (Sentinels) specifically for the
operational needs of the Copernicus programme. The Sentinels will be
launched from 2013.
• Missions from other space agencies, called Contributing Missions -
already providing a wealth of data for Copernicus services
• The In situ Component which focuses on data acquired by a multitude
of sensors on the ground, at sea or in the air.


Copernicus Services

Copernicus is all about delivering products and services to manage and
protect the environment and natural resources, and ensure civil
security, e.g.:
• air-quality forecasting
• flood warnings
• early detection of drought and desertification
• early warnings of severe weather
• oil-spill detection and drift prediction
• sea-water quality
• crop analysis
• forest monitoring
• land-use change
• food security and humanitarian
aid

Copernicus Masters –
The European Earth Monitoring Competition

Is awarding prizes to innovative solutions for
business and society based on Earth
observation data.

The Copernicus Masters Competition aims at:
• Creating awareness for the European Copernicus
programme
• Fostering product development and
entrepreneurship in Europe
• Supporting the entrepreneurship in Europe incl. the
creation of new ventures being supported in the
ESA Business Incubation Centers (BICs)

Coaching Cash Prizes

Overall Winner –
The Copernicus Master

Will be selected from among the
winners of each challenge (except
the winner of the Best Service
Challenge and the GEO
Illustration Challenge).

Prize
• Additional cash prize of EUR © Simone Hörmann
20,000
• Substantial satellite data quota


ESA App Challenge
The ESA App Challenge searches for applications ideas for using
Copernicus on mobile devices.
• Proposals shall address one or more Copernicus main thematic areas.
• The submission of the application should consist of a base app containing
info and news on Copernicus
• In addition to concepts for new mobile apps it is also possible to submit
ideas of how to extend existing apps by adding Copernicus data (e.g.
enriching weather apps by providing information on location-based UV-
radiation).
• Submission is open for all mobile operating systems.

Prize
The winner will be rewarded with a cash prize of EUR 10,000 as well
as the chance to get his idea further developed in one of the seven
ESA Business Incubation Centres (BICs). The incubation package
has a value of up to EUR 60,000.


ESA App Challenge –
The Winning Idea 2012

ASIGN / GEO PICTURES - Crowdsourced, in-situ visual
Copernicus validation

• Satellite radar images in urban areas
require in-situ verification due to
backscatter
• In GEO-PICTURES, AnsuR created the
smartphone app ASIGN, which captures
and sends reliably geo-tagged and time-
stamped images to UNOSAT at CERN
• Announced on Facebook, the app was
successful in helping the UN produce
better flood maps during the 2011 © Ansur
Thailand floods

Customer Benefit
ASIGN’s crowdsourced in-situ photos
provide for faster, higher quality remote-
sensing products that help save lives,
property, costs, and infrastructure.

ESA App Camp –
In Support of Global Monitoring for Environment and
Security
Seize the opportunity to meet with like-minded people,
create mobile applications using satellite data, and gain
insight into ESA's work.

Location: ESA ESRIN in Frascati near Rome, Italy
Registration is open until 25 March 2013 at www.app-camp.eu

About GALILEO

Galileo in short: Precision, Availability, Coverage

• Precision: In a combined GPS-Galileo use (compared to GPS by
itself) the higher number of satellites available to the user will
offer higher precision. From most locations, six to eight Galileo
satellites will be visible which, in combination with GPS signals,
will allow positions to be determined up to within a few
centimetres.

• Availability: The high number of satellites will also improve the
availability of the signals in high-rise cities, where buildings can
obstruct signals from satellites that are low on the horizon.

• Coverage: Galileo will also provide a better coverage at high
latitudes than GPS, thanks to the location and inclination of the
satellites. This will be particularly interesting for Northern Europe.


ESNC Mission

• Enhancing public awareness of the manifold application potential
of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)
• Promoting the use of the technology for new application fields
• Supporting entrepreneurs and start-up companies
• Cross-regional match-making c between industry, research and
politics to foster the realisation of the awarded ideas
• Strengthening international collaboration with particular regard to
the development of applications and services made possible by
the future European satellite navigation system Galileo
