Introduction to GEO Ring

GEORING is the initiator of an aggressive proposal to kick-start the On-Orbit Servicing (OOS) industry in Europe.GEORING has invented and is pursuing deployment of a 5 element OOS system to enable cheap operations for a series of services on orbit (existing and future).

Core elements are 1) the tanker spacecraft which stores propellant, 2) the catcher-transporter spacecraft which performs missions from the tanker to the satellites and 3) the inspector spacecraft which performs inspection on targets as well as assists in docking operations.

Additionally 4) a strap-on sub-spacecraft named Engine-Module (commercial name KINITRON® is designed to perform routine station keeping of old satellites and 5) a family of special Apogee Kick Motors has been defined to transport spacecrafts in high thrust demanding misions.

The concept-project HERMES (named after the Greek god protector of messengers) is being developed by a team of companies that have authorized marketing of the concept by C. Kosmas, chief designer & inventor (patent DE10259638). The team is consisted by a group of European mainly companies .

The Project's main aim is the reduction of the operational costs of satellite service provision, making therefore these available to larger parts of population especially in countries with limited economic resources. Since the price elasticity to cost is high (5%), by reducing the price of satellite services by 1% the demand increases by 5%.

The Project is focusing on the space segment and in particular on methods of reducing the cost of space assets by envisaging to adapt, improve and optimize the whole existing chain of infrastructure currently needed by the satellites (from launcher, to the upper stage, to the apogee kick motor, to the satellite) and by inventing new types of space vehicles to extend the current space capabilities.




Status

Currently the team:
· Continues to submit International patent applications.
· Continues to develop partnerships (MoUs, co-operation Agreements).
· Continues to investigate opportunities on qualification flights.
· Develops marketing and sponsor offerings with Media firms.
· Is ready to perform a TANKER mission
· Has the initial design of UA on the desk.
