Making space work for you
The European Space Agency’s ARTES programme for Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems, helps to create products, services and infrastructures that benefit millions of people worldwide and make a major contribution to the European economy.
The economic engine of the space industry is satellite communications, generating over $140 billion a year in global revenues. The ARTES programme exists to support innovation, helping to transform research and development into commercial products and services.
ESA’s telecom programmes often take the form of public–private partnerships. ESA joins forces with industry to share the cost and risk, resulting in faster and more innovative technological advances than if either undertook the project alone.
The most recent high-profile telecom programmes are Alphasat, the largest European telecom satellite ever built and the European Data Relay System, a groundbreaking space and ground infrastructure that uses laser links to send data at unprecedented speeds.
ARTES also promotes the use of satellites in new and imaginative ways. Satellite communications can be applied in areas as diverse as healthcare, education, transport and security to deliver services and improve daily life.

NASA Holds Expedition 42 Space Walk Briefing from Johnson Space Center in Houston
As two NASA astronauts from the International Space Station’s Expedition 42 crew prepare to venture outside the orbital complex on Friday, Feb. 20, NASA Television provided a preview news briefing on Wednesday, Feb. 18. The preview briefing was held at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston with the following panelists:
Kenneth Todd, International Space Station Operations and Integration manager
Tomas Gonzalez-Torres, Expedition 42 lead flight director
Karina Eversley, Extravehicular Activity (EVA) # 29 officer
Sarah Korona, EVA # 30 officer
Arthur Thomason, EVA # 31 officer
Expedition 42 Commander Barry Wilmore and Flight Engineer Terry Virts will exit the station from the Quest airlock for each of the three spacewalks around 7:10 a.m. NASA TV coverage of the approximately six-and-a-half hour spacewalks will begin at 6 a.m.Built by Boeing under contract to NASA, the International Docking Adapters are a critical component of the station’s reconfiguration to ensure long-term docking ports for future commercial crew and other visiting spacecraft. They will permit the standard station crew size to grow from six to seven, potentially doubling the amount of time devoted to research aboard the orbiting laboratory.
The two new docking adapters will be launched to the station on a pair of SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft this year. Astronauts will install the first of two adapters on Pressurized Mating Adapter-2 on the forward end of the station’s Harmony module during a future spacewalk. The second adapter will be installed on Pressurized Mating Adapter-3 after it is relocated robotically to the space-facing port of Harmony later this year.
The spacewalks will be the 185th, 186th and 187th in support of space station assembly and maintenance. Wilmore has conducted one spacewalk in his career last October. The spacewalks will be the first of Virts’ career.

Striking lightning from space
Lightning illuminates the area they strike on Earth but their flash can be seen from space too. This timelapse was made from 49 images taken 400 km above Earth in 2012 by an astronaut on the International Space Station travelling at 28 800 km/h. At these distances a camera flash is pointless, but our planet moves by so quickly images can end up being blurred.
ESA’s Nightpod camera aid compensates for the motion of the Station. The target stays firmly centred in frame so the final image is in focus. Astronauts can set up the device to take ultra-sharp images automatically using off-the-shelf cameras.
The steady progression of frames seen in this video with the target staying in centre frame would be nearly impossible without Nightpod.

NASA Astronauts Conduct Space Walk To Make Important Repairs On International Space Station
Outside the International Space Station, Expedition 41 Flight Engineers Reid Wiseman and Barry Wilmore of NASA replaced a voltage regulation device and relocated camera and television equipment during a spacewalk Oct. 15, the second excursion outside the Quest airlock by station astronauts in U.S. spacesuits in as many weeks. The voltage regulator, called a Sequential Shunt Unit, failed in May, taking down one of eight power channels for station systems. Its replacement brought the station’s electrical output back to full capacity. The repositioning of the camera and television equipment was the first step in a major reconfiguration of station systems and modules to accommodate next year’s delivery of new docking adapters that will be used by commercial crew vehicles later this decade. The spacewalk was the 183rd in support of station assembly and maintenance, the second by Wiseman and the first for Wilmore.

50 years serving European cooperation and innovation
2014 is a special year: the space community is celebrating the anniversary of the construction of Europe as a space power and 50 years of unique achievements in space.
It started with the creation of two entities, entering into force in 1964, the European Launcher Development Organisation (ELDO) and the European Space Research Organisation (ESRO).
A little more than a decade later, the European Space Agency (ESA) would be established, replacing these two organisations and since then serving European cooperation and innovation.
This video recalls the importance of Europe efforts in space and its successes with now a guaranteed and independent access to space and several programs covering all possible areas from Science, to Earth Observation, Human Spaceflight, Telecom and Navigation.

ESA Euronews: Közös űrprogram – amikor Európa működik
Idén ötven éve indult el a közös európai űrprogram. A nehezen összekovácsolt tudományos együttműködés az egyik remek példa arra, amikor Európa működik.
Ötven évvel ezelőtt a világ már az űrverseny lázában égett. A Szputnyik elküldte az első jeleket, Jurij Gagarin már járt az űrben, az Egyesült Államok és a Szovjetunió vetélkedése hajtotta a tudományt előre.
*Azt hittük, vége a világnak*
– A világ elképesztően törékeny, veszélyes hely volt – jellemezte az időszakot John Krige, a Georgia Institute of Technology történésze. – A szuperhatalmak vetélkedése talán akkor volt a csúcson, a kubai rakétaválság idején. Én fiatalember voltam, és egész biztosan azt gondoltam, hogy az lesz a világ vége. Szerintem nem voltam ezzel egyedül.
Ebben a feszült helyzetben lépett fel két európai fizikus, az olasz Eduardo Arnaldi és a francia Pierre Auger, akik szentül hittek abban, hogy a rakétáknak és a műholdaknak a tudományt kell szolgálniuk, nem a kardcsörtetést.
– Azok az országok, amelyek a közös európai űrprogramba belevágtak, húsz évvel korábban gyilkos háborút vívtak egymással – magyarázta Roger-Maurice Bonnet, az Európai Űrügynökség (ESA) volt tudományos igazgatója. – Ezek az országok összegyűltek, és úgy döntöttek, olyan közös nyelvet fognak használni, amelyen nem lehet őket egymásra uszítani – a tudomány nyelvét.
