Currently, all ESA project teams and almost 50 companies working for ESA projects participate in the system. Improvements to the system were identified during a recent review, based on user inputs, and are in the process of being implemented. Further, it was decided during the review to seek the participation of the European National Space Agencies to the system. A Lesson Learned is knowledge or understanding gained by experience that has a significant impact for an organisation. The experience may be either positive or negative.
Successes are also sources of Lessons Learned.
Lessons Learned Systems tend to be more organisation-specific than Alert Systems. ESA has developed a concept for a Lessons Learned System, which is intended to serve the whole European space community. Data are currently being collected within ESA to populate the Lessons Learned archive. The workshop is primarily intended to exchange experience within the space community related to the use of Alerts and Lessons Learned, and the operation of related systems. Inform participants about the concept for an ESA Lessons Learned System.
