| Payload Definition Document for Cross-Scale |
| This Payload Definition Document (PDD) is a compilation of the Cross-Scale strawman payload requirements and of their related reference design. The PDD plays a key role in defining the resources
required by the Cross-Scale instruments and in providing the information necessary to conduct the mission assessment study and the preliminary spacecraft design.

| Cross-Scale Technology Reference Study - Summary Report |
| This Cross-Scale summary report provides a summary of the system design study carried out by industry (Deimos Space S.L. as prime, Thales Alenia Space and ONERA as sub-contractors) under ESA contract between May 2006 and June 2007. The first phase of the system design study consisted of a mission architecture trade. Key trades on the mission architecture included orbits, number of spacecraft, payload suites, deployment strategy, and orbit optimization. The second phase consisted of an assessment of the spacecraft design, ground segment requirements and programmatics. |

| Reviewing the Future - The 2006 External Review of the Science Programme |
| ESA's hugely successful Science Programme is facing flat budgets for the foreseeable future. The resources will be insufficient to satisfy all of the science community's wishes for new missions. As a result, the Science Programme Review Team (SPRT) was established to recommend ways for the Programme to meet its obligations to current and approved missions and to support new projects to the greatest extent possible. |
