  • Europe’s future of space travel

    Europe’s future of space travel

    For 40 years, ESA has been shaping the future in space, while delivering crucial access to space for Europe. That work continues, as brand-new rockets are set to take flight: some reusable, some carbon-neutral, with hybrid propulsion, two and three stages, small, large, crewed and uncrewed, to Earth orbit and deep space, the journey continues.

    All of these missions are currently in development in Europe and will ensure our continued ability to explore beyond our own home, while looking back to learn more about it.

    This, is the future of space exploration.

  • 40 years of Ariane

    40 years of Ariane

    The 250th flight of an Ariane launcher was another success. The Ariane launcher programme has effectively put Europe on the map in the worldwide commercial satellites launcher market. Next 24 December will mark the 40th anniversary of the first Ariane Launch from Europe’ Spaceport in French Guiana and the situation has evolved along the years. An opportunity to look at what has been achieved and what can be expected for the future of Space Transportation in Europe.

  • A new generation of European Launch Vehicles

    A new generation of European Launch Vehicles

    We strive for the future of Europe in space and key to this endeavour is maintaining access to space.

    This objective is accomplished by supporting the development of new launch vehicles and next year will be an important year: Vega-C and Ariane 6 will fly for the first time.

    Vega-C is an enhanced version of Europe’s current Vega, with increased power and capacity.

    Ariane 6 is Europe’s next heavy-lift launcher which will replace Ariane 5. With Ariane 6 the approach is evolving for the assembly and production processes, and also in the sharing of responsibilities between us and Industry.

    In parallel to preparing a new generation of launchers, we are also working on its first reusable spacecraft, Space Rider, that will fly on top of a Vega-C and which should be confirmed at Space19+, the Ministerial Conference in Seville in November 2019.

    Already, the future of European Space transportation is clearly visible in Kourou where Vega-C and Ariane 6 are step-by-step becoming a reality.

  • Replay of Vega liftoff VV04 with IXV

    Replay of Vega liftoff VV04 with IXV

    Replay of the liftoff of Vega VV04 with ESA’s Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle, IXV, launched from Kourou, French Guiana on 11 February 2015.

    IXV was launched 340 km into space atop a Vega rocket, VV04, from Kourou in French Guiana on 11 February 2015. After separation from Vega, IXV coasted to 412 km before beginning a punishing glide back through the atmosphere. During its autonomous flight, IXV tested the latest technologies and critical systems to extend Europe’s capability for space exploration.

  • ESA Ministerial Conference: Launchers

    ESA Ministerial Conference: Launchers

    Ministers in charge of space activities within the 20 ESA Member States and Canada will meet in Luxembourg on 2 December to take key decisions, in particular on Europe’s Launcher Programmes and the new Ariane 6 design should then be unveiled, a next generation launcher being required for an increasingly competitive market.

    This video covers why it is important for Europe to have independent access to space and maintain its leadership in the world’s commercial satellite launch market.

    If final approval on its development is given at the forthcoming Ministerial, Ariane 6 will launch from Kourou at the start of the next decade.

  • Meet ESA, the space agency for Europe

    Meet ESA, the space agency for Europe

    You, together with your 500 million fellow citizens from ESA’s 20* European member nations, are the collective owners of one of the world’s leading space agencies.

    The European Space Agency is an intergovernmental organisation, a cooperative coming together of its Member States in their national interest and common good.

    This new video offers a quick introduction: Europe, meet ESA.

    (*As of February 2015, 22 Member States)
