    ESRIN: ESA’s Eye on Earth

    Located in Frascati, Italy, ESRIN – known as the ESA Centre for Earth Observation – is one of the five ESA specialised centres situated in Europe. The mission and payload operations of ESA’s Earth observation satellites are managed here and ESRIN is the primary source for the acquisition, distribution and exploitation of data from these and other non-ESA satellites.Within ESRIN, a key role in Europe’s space effort has been undertaken with the development of the new small launcher, Vega, which took its maiden voyage in February 2012.
    ESRIN designs and develops all ESA-wide software for corporate applications and is responsible for developing security measures for classified space programmes. The European Centre for Space Records (ECSR) is also based at ESRIN. The ECSR appraises and preserves the valuable technical records of completed ESA projects together with their management archives to safeguard this valuable knowledge for generations to come.Finally, ESRIN is home to ESA’s Near-Earth Object Coordination Centre. The centre serves as the central access point to a network of European near-Earth object data sources and information providers being established under ESA’s Space Situational Awareness (SSA) Programme.For more information, visit the ESRIN site.

  • ESA Euronews: Pas de tir d’Ariane 6

    ESA Euronews: Pas de tir d’Ariane 6

    Dans cette édition de Space, nous entrons dans les coulisses d’un chantier colossal au Centre spatial européen de Kourou en Guyane française. Un pas de tir est en train de sortir de terre en vue du vol inaugural d’Ariane 6 programmé en juillet 2020. Grâce à ce projet, l’Europe se relance dans la compétition mondiale qui oppose les acteurs du secteur spatial.

    Sur la côte nord-est de l’Amérique du Sud, à Kourou en Guyane, des ingénieurs européens s’affairent à la construction du nouveau pas de tir d’Ariane 6. Ce chantier colossal doit répondre à un objectif simple : diviser par deux, les coûts de lancement par rapport à son modèle précédent. Pour y parvenir, il faut d’abord une quantité astronomique de béton, d’acier et de main-d’oeuvre.

    ESA Euronews: Ariane 6

    The race is on to build the new launch pad for the Ariane 6 rocket, due to make its maiden voyage in July 2020. Construction is in full swing in French Guiana as Europe builds not only a new rocket but also a new way of launching rockets, in a bid to face down competition from the likes of Space X.

    When Euronews visited, around 500 people were active on the site from six in the morning until ten at night, with attention focused on two key elements of the pad – firstly the huge flame trench which will take the hot gases away from the rocket on launch, and the new building in which the Ariane 6 will be built.

  • ESTEC Open Day 2016

    ESTEC Open Day 2016

    In place for more than half a century, the complex ESTEC in Noordwijk is ESA’s single largest establishment, focused on developing technology, planning missions and testing satellites. More than 8700 visitors at the Open Day on 2 October 2016 were able to wander around the sprawling facility at their own pace, meeting astronauts, scientists and mission designers while seeing special exhibits and actual space hardware.  

    The theme of this year’s Open Day was “Breath of Life” – the ExoMars orbiter, currently nearing Mars, will be searching out methane and associated rare gases in the thin alien atmosphere as evidence of either surviving Mars microbes or a different kind of ‘life’ – subsurface volcanic activity, which would mean the planet remains geologically active.
