These reports entitled “The European Space Sector in a Global Context” took into account the geopolitical and economic changes that occurred in a given year and which were of importance for the European space sector. These aspects were then analysed in a boarder context. ESA’s annual analysis also presented facts and figures of other space powers in order to be able to view the development of the European space sector in a larger perspective. Objectives of this Study In 2006, ESA’s DG Policy Office tasked the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) based in Vienna (Austria) under a specific contract to conduct a nine-month study on global issues and trends in the space sector covering the period 1 January 2006 to 30 June 2007. ESA’s DG Policy Office commissioned a similar study in 2007 for the period 2007/2008. The ESPI study “Space Policies, Issues and Trends in 2007/2008” aims to present in a single document, comprehensive data and analyses characterising global space activities from 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008. This report provides an overview of the European space sector in a global context. It takes into account geopolitical and economic changes that are of relevance and importance for current and future developments in the European space sector. It provides facts and figures on the latest European activities, while putting them into perspective with the situations of other major space-faring countries, notably the United States, Russia, Japan, China and India.

The development of Vega passed major milestones in 2007 and 2008, providing essential results in terms of test data and design consolidation. These will lead to the Qualification Flight from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana at the end of 2009. This will be an important step in the implementation of the European strategy in the launcher sector and the guarantee of access to space for Europe, as endorsed by the ESA Ministerial Council in 2003. The ex p l o i t ation of this new ESA developed launcher will widen the range of launch services offered by launchers developed and produced by European industry and will improve launch flexibility by providing a more adapted response for a wide range of European institutional space missions, as well as an optimised family of launchers to serve commercial market needs. esa bulletin 135 - august 2008 45 Vega The former ELA-1 Ariane-1 launch pad at Kourou has Stefano Bianchi, Renato Lafranconi & been transformed for Vega.

    Russia’s Posture in Space: Prospects for Europe Executive Summary Prepared by the European Space Policy Institute Marco ALIBERTI Ksenia LISITSYNA May 2018 Table of Contents Background and Research Objectives ........................................................................................ 1 Domestic Developments in Russia’s Space Programme ............................................................ 2 Russia’s International Space Posture ......................................................................................... 4 Prospects for Europe .................................................................................................................. 5 Background and Research Objectives For the 50th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik-1, in 2007, the rebirth of Russian space activities appeared well on its way. After the decade-long crisis of the 1990s, the country’s political leadership guided by President Putin gave new impetus to the development of national space activities and put the sector back among the top priorities of Moscow’s domestic and foreign policy agenda. Supported by the progressive recovery of Russia’s economy, renewed political stability, and an improving external environment, Russia re-asserted strong ambitions and the resolve to regain its original position on the international scene. Towards this, several major space programmes were adopted, including the Federal Space Programme 2006-2015, the Federal Target Programme on the development of Russian cosmodromes, and the Federal Target Programme on the redeployment of GLONASS. This renewed commitment to the development of space activities was duly reflected in a sharp increase in the country’s launch rate and space budget throughout the decade. Thanks to the funds made available by flourishing energy exports, Russia’s space expenditure continued to grow even in the midst of the global financial crisis. Besides new programmes and increased funding, the spectrum of activities was also widened to encompass a new focus on space applications and commercial products.

And it was indeed a fortunate coincidence that the ninth session of the WMO Executive Committee – known today as the WMO Executive Council (EC) – was in progress precisely at this moment, for the EC members were very quick to realize that satellite technology held the promise to expand the volume of meteorological data and to fill the notable gaps where land-based observations were not readily available.

As an example, try holding a book in your hands straight out in front of you and not moving them for one or two minutes. After a while, do your hands start to shake or move around? Imagine how hard it would be to hold your hands steady for many days in a row, or to lift something really heavy. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a really long arm that never gets tired? Well, to help out in space, scientists have designed and used robotic arms for years. On Earth, scientists have designed robotic arms for everything from moving heavy equipment to performing delicate surgery. Robotic arms are important machines that help people work on Earth as well as in space. Astronaut attached to a robotic arm on the ISS. Look at your arms once again.

    SSC09-XII-03 The Promise of Innovation from University Space Systems: Are We Meeting It? Michael Swartwout St. Louis University 3450 Lindell Boulevard St. Louis, Missouri 63103; (314) 977-8240 [email protected] ABSTRACT A popular notion among universities is that we are innovation-drivers in the staid, risk-adverse spacecraft industry – we are to professional small satellites what small satellites are to the “battlestars”. By contrast, professional industry takes a much different perspective on university-class spacecraft; these programs are good for attracting students to space and providing valuable pre-career training, but the actual flight missions are ancillary, even unimportant. Which opinion is correct? Both are correct. The vast majority of the 111 student-built spacecraft that have flown have made no innovative contributions. That is not to say that they have been without contribution. In addition to the inarguable benefits to education, many have served as radio Amateur communications, science experiments and even technological demonstrations. But “innovative”? Not so much. However, there have been two innovative contributors, whose contributions are large enough to settle the question: the University of Surrey begat SSTL, which helped create the COTS-based small satellite industry. Stanford and Cal Poly begat CubeSats, whose contributions are still being created today. This paper provides an update to our earlier submissions on the history of student-built spacecraft. Major trends identified in previous years will be re-examined with new data -- especially the bifurcation between larger-scale, larger-scope "flagship" programs and small-scale, reduced-mission "independents". In particular, we will demonstrate that the general history of student-built spacecraft has not been one of innovation, nor of development of new space systems -- with those few, extremely noteworthy, exceptions.

Jacobs Manager, Russian Integration, International Partners Office International Space Station Program, NASA Johnson Space Center Introduction The International Space Station, as the largest international civil program in history, features unprecedented technical, managerial, and international complexity. Seven interna- tional partners and participants encompassing fifteen countries are involved in the ISS. Each partner is designing, developing and will be operating separate pieces of hardware, to be inte- grated on-orbit into a single orbital station. Mission control centers, launch vehicles, astronauts/ cosmonauts, and support services will be provided by multiple partners, but functioning in a coordinated, integrated fashion. A number of major milestones have been accomplished to date, including the construction of major elements of flight hardware, the development of opera- tions and sustaining engineering centers, astronaut training, and seven Space Shuttle/Mir docking missions.
