CIÊNCIA July 2010 Lisboa © ESA Slide # 5 ESA is one of the few space agencies in the world to combine responsibility in nearly all areas of space activity. Space science Human spaceflight Exploration Telecommunications Technology Operations Earth observation Launchers Navigation All Member States participate (on a GNP basis) in activities related to space science and a common set of programmes (Mandatory programmes). Mandatory General Budget: Future studies, technological research, education, common investments (facilities, laboratories, basic infrastructure) Science: Solar System science, astronomy and fundamental physics In addition, Member States choose their level of participation in Optional programmes. Optional Human Spaceflight Telecommunications & Integrated Applications Earth Observation Launchers Navigation Robotic Exploration Space Situational Awareness ESA Programmes 1.

CIÊNCIA July 2010 Lisboa © ESA Slide # 7 ESA is responsible for R&D of space projects. On completion of qualification, they are handed to outside entities for production and exploitation. Most of these entities emanated from ESA. ESA’s catalyst role 1. The European Space Agency Meteorology: Eumetsat Navigation: Galileo (with EU) Launch services: Arianespace Telecomms: Eutelsat and Inmarsat What ESA is not… ESA is not a Space Laboratory Although ESA hosts its own technical facilities and employs hundreds of engineers, as a Space Agency its primary role is to implement (manage and operate) European Space Programmes. Space projects are contracted to its member states’ industrial and scientific actors following competitive bidding actions.
