The Advanced Concepts Team is a group of scientists, researchers and young graduates that perform multidisciplinary research within the European Space Agency. Located at the European Space Research and Technology Centre, in the Netherlands, the team was instituted in 2002 with the objective of fostering advanced research on space systems, innovative concepts and working methods.

Introduction

The Advanced Concepts Team (ACT) is a multidisciplinary research group at the European Space Agency. Its task is to facilitate disruptive changes in space technology by performing solid research on "exotic" topics typically not considered by "mainstream" space science.[1]

General research areas include:

Research

One of the founding philosophies of the team is, from its very beginning, that of open science. The research papers and reports produced are made available, whenever possible.[5] The team maintains its own on-line journal called ActaFutura [6] and promotes and drives several open source initiatives among which PyGMO,PaGMO,PyKEP', "AuDi" and "dCGP".[7]
