Project SuperSkySense, for the development of system enabling Smart Maintenance Aviation Hydraulic Fluid Using an On-board Monitoring and Reconditioning System, was successfuly launched in the kick-off meeting held in Hotel NH Suites Prisma, in central Madrid, the past 11th of November of 2006. With over 25 attendees, including a representative of the European Commission's DG RTD, the foundations for this very challenging project, co-funded by the EC under FP6, were established.

This steering committee allowed a detailed review of the achievements done in the initial work period. The work plan for the following period has been updated and calendar for reporting deliverables has been established. On the second day, November 17th 2007, work-package specific meetings have taken place regarding the selection and development of measurement techniques (WP2) and of water separation technique (WP3).

Hosted by Lufthansa Technick Budapest.
With 20 attendees, including a representative of the European Commission, this meeting allowed to present up-to-date achievements, including advances in the development of an optical particle counter, an IR transmittance based sensor for moisture, acidity and chlorine, as well of a conductivity sensor. External communication objectives and plan for the project regarding future system location, vibration and EM constraints, system integrity, targeted mean time between failure, maximum acceptable weight and arrangement, communication with aircraft, and retrofit of maintenance computer have been discussed.

Hosted by CESA.
This meeting allowed to present up-to-date achievements, including advances in test-rig development and results of tests on ceramic disks for pressure drop and water removal, developments made in the IR and particle counting equipment, improved results using luminescent indicators for acidity sensing.

Hosted by Instytut Lotnictwa.
As the project approaches completion, substantive progress has been achieved as many prototype deliverables have already been manufactured. This meeting allowed presenting up-to-date achievements, including improvements to the acidity indicator, improvements to the analogue electronics of the IR and particle counting equipment, and progress regarding the digital electronic boards and housings for the different types of sensors. The manufactured demonstrator of the capacitance/conductivity sensor (CCS) and the probe-holder package mechanics were also presented. Finally, the updated test plan was presented in preparation of the last stages of the project.

Hosted by Airbus France.
Prior to the final performance test in Airbus facilities, a meeting was organized to review integration progress and define contingency plans in order to mitigate any possible issue. This meeting allowed presenting final integration steps and review final testing requirements. Dissemination initiatives have been review and the dissemination officer presented the updated Plan for Using and Disseminating Knowledge.

Hosted by INTERLAB.
Having completed all developments, integration and tests, a meeting was organized to review the results and plan for the final deliverables. The event took place in downtown Madrid. The focus was aimed at the dissemination activities and analysis regarding potential for commercializing the developments of the SuperSkySense outputs. Although this had been planned as a one day event, this historical date ironically concurred with the eruption of Iceland's volcano Eyjafjallajokull, which forced many of the project partners to stay grounded in Madrid through the weekend.

Preliminary results of the SuperSkySense project were presented and a prototype was exposed to the public at CESA´s stand. Project coordinator and INTERLAB representatives were present to support dissemination initiative.

SuperSkySense project was presented to over 100 MRO specialists in Lisbon.
