  • Artemis II astronauts visit European Service Module-2

    Artemis II astronauts visit European Service Module-2

    During Artemis I the European Service Module (ESM) surpassed expectations. Now, as we set our sights on Artemis II, the European Service Module is ready to once again serve as Orion’s primary power and propulsion component and keep the spacecraft at the right temperature and on course. And this time, with real astronauts on board.

    ESM-2 stands as a testament to ESA’s contributions to NASA’s Orion spacecraft and the Artemis programme, ensuring the crew will have the essentials – from electricity to temperature control – in the vastness of space.

    Next up, ESM-2 will be connected with the crew module to create the Artemis II vehicle. It will then be thoroughly tested before launch scheduled for next year.

    ESA is committed to send astronauts beyond low-Earth orbit and ultimately to the surface of the Moon and beyond. ESM is a key contribution to this joint international endeavour.

    This video features interviews with:
    – Philippe Berthe, ESA’s European Service Module Project Coordination manager
    – Kai Bergemann, Airbus deputy programme manager for Orion and the European Service Module
    – Jeremy Hansen, Canadian Space Agency Artemis II astronaut
    – Debbie Korth, NASA deputy programme manager for Orion

  • Visit ESA’s Pavilion at the Paris Air and Space Show 2013

    Visit ESA’s Pavilion at the Paris Air and Space Show 2013

    The 50th International Paris Air & Space Show at Le Bourget opened its doors on Monday 17 June.
    The Agency’s pavilion, situated between the full-size models of the Ariane 1 and Ariane 5 launchers, features the wealth of ESA programmes across all space domains, and focus on recent and upcoming launches and their results. This year, the emphasis is on space as a driver of competitiveness and growth.

  • Visit the ISS in 3D with Paolo Nespoli

    Visit the ISS in 3D with Paolo Nespoli

    Paolo Nespoli spent 6 months on-board the International Space Station from Dec 2010 through to May 2011.
    In this video he shot using ESA’s Erasmus Recording Binocular (ERB-2) stereoscopic camera during various phases of his MagISStra mission, he caught some moments that depict the work astronauts carry out on the ISS: from educational activities, to scientific experiments and physical training, also demonstrating the way astronauts move in weightlessness through the various modules. ERB-2 is the first camera to transmit 3D images live from space.

    ESA would like to thank all the astronauts featured in the film: NASA astronauts Catherine (Cady) Coleman, Ron Garan, Scott Kelly and the united ISS Expedition 26-27 and STS-134 crew including ESA astronaut R. Vittori.
