Deadline: cutoff — ESA publishes themed Kick-start calls several times a year, each with its own closing date, plus a continuously open 'Open Call' for Demonstration Projects.

This funder does not publish a success rate. We rank it using the rate observed across similar programmes and label it as an estimate rather than implying we know.

Quick — mostly identity and bank details.

You fund 20% yourself.
