3. Page 3 European Space Operations Centre The Purpose of ESA ESA is an intergovernmental organisation with a mission to provide and promote, for exclusively peaceful purposes: –Space science, research and technology –Space applications ESA achieves this through: –space activities and programmes –long-term space policy –a specific industrial policy –coordinating European national space programmes

4. Page 4 European Space Operations Centre ESA has 17 Member States Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom Canada takes part in some projects under a cooperation agreement

5. Page 5 European Space Operations Centre The ESA Programmes All Member States participate in activities and a common set of programmes related to space science (mandatory programmes) In addition, members choose their level of participation in the following optional programmes: –Manned spaceflight –Microgravity research –Earth observation –Telecommunications –Navigation –Launcher Development
