Esa Iris Introducing digitalisation, by fitting aircraft with iris satellite data communication technology, enables air traffic controllers to manage the skies more efficiently using a high bandwidth satellite datalink between the aircraft and the ground. What is iris? iris is a satcom data link system funded and promoted by the european space agency (esa) and led by viasat. essp is the official iris service provider following long term agreement signed with viasat in july 2023.
Esa Iris Logo Our ground breaking iris air traffic management (atm) program with the european space agency (esa) is a key component of modernizing and digitalizing the aviation industry. Iris is esa’s satellite based solution to modernise air traffic management (atm) in europe and beyond, enabling secure digital communications between pilots and controllers to reduce co₂ emissions, cut delays, and support growing air traffic. Since 2015, by agreement with nasa, esa facilitates scientists working in its member states to be trained and to act as science planners for iris, allowing them to learn the process of planning and to get access to time to run their own experiments with the mission. Joining esa with the iris² team means helping secure europe’s future in an increasingly complex and connected world. as the lead technical agency supporting the european commission on iris², esa offers a front row seat at the intersection of innovation, policy and global impact.

The document discusses iris, a satellite based data link system developed by esa to provide air traffic management (atm) communications services across europe and globally. Esa is cooperating with the european commission to develop one of the eu’s flagship space programmes: the infrastructure for resilience, interconnectivity and security by satellite (iris²). it will be a strategic asset for the eu, in support of its strategic autonomy, resilience and competitiveness. Led by the european space agency (esa), iris enables aircraft to fly more fuel efficient routes by providing digital satellite communications to complement vhf data link, which is nearing a capacity crunch in congested airspace. Using iris satellite communications for air traffic management complements these technologies, making flight operations more efficient. it also allows flights to optimise their trajectories taking the best possible route depending on weather conditions and other constraints.
