    James Webb Space Telescope – Media briefing and Q&A

    James Webb Space Telescope – the largest, most powerful telescope to be sent into space is getting ready for launch in autumn 2021!

    Watch the replay of the media presentation and Q&A with representatives from Webb’s partners ESA, @NASA and the @Canadian Space Agency, as well as ESA’s partner @arianespace, to hear more about it and its upcoming launch. Following in the footsteps of the Hubble Space Telescope as the next great space science observatory, the International James Webb Space Telescope is designed to help answer outstanding questions about the Universe and make breakthrough discoveries in all fields of astronomy.

  • Science at ESA

    Science at ESA

    Science is the underpinning theme of ESA, driving the spiral of inspiration, innovation, infor­mation exchange and interaction with our stakeholders. In this video, Günther Hasinger, ESA Director of Science, reflects on the growth of ESA’s space science programme over the past decades, as well as on its current and future challenges. He also highlights the importance of long-term strategic planning and international cooperation in these endeavours, and finally looks back at some recent successes of ESA’s space science missions.

    Science is everywhere at ESA. As well as exploring the Universe and answering the big questions about our place in space we develop the satellites, rockets and technologies to get there. Science also helps us to care for our home planet. All this week we’re highlighting different aspects of science at ESA. Join the conversation with #ScienceAtESA.

  • A taste of astronomy at ESA

    A taste of astronomy at ESA

    To explore some of the biggest questions in astronomy, ESA operates a fleet of space science missions that are exploring our Solar System and observing the Universe across the electromagnetic spectrum.

    In this video, Günther Hasinger, ESA Director of Science, reflects on current challenges in space science, from planets and life to the fundamental workings of the Universe. Then, María Santos-Lleo, XMM-Newton Science Operations Manager, explains how ESA’s flagship X-ray observatory collects data from some of the most energetic sources in the cosmos. Finally, Bruno Merin, Head of the ESAC Science Data Centre, shows how data from ESA’s space science missions are stored and made available to the worldwide community.
