    Asteroid impact 2028: Protecting our planet

    It’s the year 2028, and we’ve been carefully monitoring a worrying situation: an enormous asteroid is en route to strike Earth, although the exact point of impact is not yet clear.

    National governments are planning to evacuate millions of people, an undertaking that will cause untold human misery and disruption on a gigantic scale. If the asteroid’s impact zone can be fixed, perhaps such chaos can be avoided.

    As precious hours pass, find out how our Planetary Defence Office is able to obtain crucial information on this potential disaster as part of the Agency’s Space Safety and Security activities.

    Back to the present day: Find out more about how we are preparing to protect our pale blue dot, its inhabitants and the vital satellite systems on which we have become so dependent.

  • Applications: Space at your service

    Applications: Space at your service

    Satellites bring immense benefits to everyone on Earth. From monitoring our changing planet and increasingly severe natural disasters, to providing resilient telecom networks and delivering services such as precise navigation that help economies grow and humans in need, satellites are the ‘eyes and ears’ in space that help us to help ourselves. Increasing opportunities in our fast-changing, interconnected world contrast with threats from climate change and an unpredictable environment, and cutting-edge space-based applications are part of the solution.
    Now is the time for decisions.

    Science & Exploration, Applications for Earth, Space Safety & Security and Enabling & Support – these are ESA’s four emblematic pillars of inspiration for Space19+, the Council at ministerial level in November 2019. This is a crucial opportunity to secure new investment to ensure Europe’s leadership in global space endeavours and bring the future down to all of us on Earth. ESA’s proposals range from hunting asteroids and the exploration of icy moons to 5G (5th generation) satellite-based communication for everyone. And did we mention we’re working hard to safeguard our planet?

  • ESA’s detection expertise

    ESA’s detection expertise

    What’s the difference between spotting asteroids in space, and debris objects in Earth orbit? At first, both look like tiny dots streaming across the sky, against a backdrop of twinkling stars. As part of its Space Safety & Security activities, ESA brings together experts in asteroid and debris detection, asking what these two vital fields have in common, and how they can protect us from hazards in space.
