The CARIOQA-PMP Post-Pathfinder Roadmap Workshop successfully took place on 11th October 2024 at the Covent Garden Building, Brussels. The event gathered key stakeholders to review the roadmap’s status and discuss next steps.
This workshop marks an important step in shaping the future path towards a European quantum space gravimetry mission after the launch of a CARIOQA pathfinder mission around 2030. In the workshop, key risks and recommendations for a post pathfinder mission were identified from technical, programmatic, economic and societal perspectives. The participation of different European stakeholders contributes to harmonising the roadmap within the European programmatic framework.
The workshop featured presentations from EU and ESA, group discussions on the basis of a draft summary roadmap, and concluded with a summary of the discussion results.
