DESCRIPTION:M-IND RFI Webinar PDF at the bottom-right (incl. Q&A  in the
  last 4 slides - last update 28-04-2026)\nThe M-IND Initiative – Mid-S
 ize Satellites INDustrialisation for LEO constellations\, has as main obj
 ective to scale-up production capacity volume for mid-size LEO satellites 
 and as a result reduce cost and lead-time to develop game changing LEO con
 stellation missions.\nESA’s General Support Technology Programme (GSTP) 
 has opened a Request for Information (RFI) to evolve and industrialise Equ
 ipment and technology modules for mid-size satellites suitable for LEO Con
 stellations (link to ESA News and LinkedIn-1  and LinkedIn-2 ). \nThese 
 two links contain the relevant information :\n\nOSIP link where to submit 
 (EXTENDED UNTIL  27-May-2026)  the Outline Proposal based on the GSTP El
 em.1 Building Blocks Template \nand include the Checklist   [REQ-1] to 
 [REQ-46]  in section 3 of the M-IND RFI Guidelines into the GSTP Template
  (as per example).  Guidelines and related RDs also available (password 
 protected in esastar-publicatiom)\n\n=====================================
 ===========\nIn addition\, ESA organises two Webinar sessions with the sam
 e content each (one on 31/03\, one on 10/04) to facilitate attendance and 
 with the following Agenda:\n\n30 min presentation of the M-IND RFI \n90 m
 in of Q&A by stakeholders (Industry\, ESA National Delegations) \n\nYou n
 eed to REGISTER to receive the MS-Teams link to participate in the Webinar
 . The registration closes the day before. \nIt is strongly recommended th
 at you read the M-IND RFI Guidelines before you attend the Webinar. \nNot
 e that  the OSIP link refers to both (M-IND and SMART-IND):  Certificati
 on of industrial processes should be part of SMART-IND.  Products in mid-
 size LEO satellites that do not require re-design\, and can go directly in
 to industrialisation and serialisation should also be submitted directly t
 o SMART-IND.\n \n\n\nhttps://indico.esa.int/event/657/
