    European Researchers’ Night 2019

    On Friday 27 September, ESRIN, our establishment in Italy welcomed members of the public on site as part of European Researchers’ Night. Joining research centres throughout Europe, European Researchers’ Night, promoted each year by the European Commission, is targeted at people of all ages who want to know more about science, research, and space exploration.

  • Air quality: what’s space got to do with it?

    Air quality: what’s space got to do with it?

    Air pollution is a global environmental health problem that is responsible for millions of people dying prematurely every year. In cities and towns, traffic pumps pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide directly into the air we breathe, which can increase the risk of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, for example. Governments and decision-makers rely heavily on satellite data, such as that from the Copernicus Sentinel-5P mission, and computer models to show how pollution accumulates and how it is carried in the air so that they can develop appropriate mitigation strategies.

    The United Nations World Health Organization marks World Health Day on 7 April every year. The third Sustainable Development Goal underlines the right to health: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. On-orbit research, space technology and space applications can help improve health on Earth by monitoring our environment, helping track disease, improving diagnostics, and working on new medicines among other things. The UN is also focusing particularly this year on universal health coverage.

  • 50 years of ESRIN

    50 years of ESRIN

    ESRIN, ESA’s centre for Earth observation in Frascati, near Rome, is one of the agency’s main specialised centres in Europe, and its founding ceremony took place 50 years ago on 27 September 1968.

    Today, ESRIN manages the exploitation phase of the Earth Observation satellites and the ground segment for ESA and third-party Earth observation satellites, maintaining the largest archive of environmental data in Europe and coordinating over 20 ground stations and ground segment facilities in Europe. It also hosts the project team managing the Vega small-launcher programme.

    ESA Euronews: All’interno della fabbrica di lanciatori Vega in Italia

    Nella puntata di Space di questo mese abbiamo la chance unica di visitare questo posto alle mie spalle, l’azienda aerospaziale Avio a Colleferro, in provincia di Roma, dove un team di ingegneri sta lavorando alla nuova generazione europea di lanciatori in fibra di carbonio. E’ una cosa rara poter filmare dentro luoghi simili. Entriamo, quindi, incontriamo il team e scopriamo cosa c’è di nuovo.
    Questa è una delle poche aziende del settore in Europa. Qui è nato il lanciatore leggero Vega. E qui saranno creati i razzi spaziali del futuro.
