THE EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY UNITED SPACE IN EUROPE ESA facts and figures . Over 50 years of experience . 22 Member States . Eight sites/facilities in Europe, about 2300 staff . 5.75 billion Euro budget (2017) . Over 80 satellites designed, tested and operated in flight Slide 2 Purpose of ESA “To provide for and promote, for exclusively peaceful purposes, cooperation among European states in space research and technology and their space applications.” Article 2 of ESA Convention Slide 3 Member States ESA has 22 Member States: 20 states of the EU (AT, BE, CZ, DE, DK, EE, ES, FI, FR, IT, GR, HU, IE, LU, NL, PT, PL, RO, SE, UK) plus Norway and Switzerland. Seven other EU states have Cooperation Agreements with ESA: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta and Slovakia. Discussions are ongoing with Croatia. Slovenia is an Associate Member. Canada takes part in some programmes under a long-standing Cooperation Agreement. Slide 4 Activities space science human spaceflight exploration ESA is one of the few space agencies in the world to combine responsibility in nearly all areas of space activity. earth observation launchers navigation * Space science is a Mandatory programme, all Member States contribute to it according to GNP. All other programmes are Optional, funded ‘a la carte’ by Participating States. operations technology telecommunications Slide 5 ESA’s locations Salmijaervi (Kiruna) Moscow Brussels ESTEC (Noordwijk) ECSAT (Harwell) EAC (Cologne) Washington Houston Maspalomas ESA HQ (Paris) ESOC (Darmstadt) Oberpfaffenhofen Santa Maria Kourou Toulouse New Norcia Perth Redu Malargüe ESA sites ESAC (Madrid) Cebreros ESRIN Offices ESA Ground Station + Offices (Rome) ESA Ground Station ESA sites + ESA Ground Station Slide 6 ESA budget for 2017: by domain Navigation* 17.6%, 1,010.8 M€ Prodex Launchers* 0.8%, 47.2 M€ 18.9%, 1,088.4 M€ Space Science 8.9%, 513.1 M€ Basic Activities B€: Billion Euro 4.1%, 234.8 M€ M€: Million Euro Budget 2017 5.75 B€ *includes programmes implemented for other institutional partners Associated with General Budget 3.9%, 222.3 M€ Human Spaceflight & Robotic Exploration 11.0%, 633.0 M€ Earth Observation* 26.9%, 1,543.3 M€ Telecom & Integrated Applications* 5.6%, 319.0 M€ Technology Support* European Cooperating 2.0%, 114.3 M€ States Agreements Space Situational Awareness 0.1%, 5.5 M€ 0.3%, 15.1 M€ Slide 7 ESA’s industrial policy About 85% of ESA’s budget is spent on contracts with European industry. ESA’s industrial policy: . Ensures that Member States get a fair return on their investment; . Improves competitiveness of European industry; . Maintains and develops space technology; . Exploits the advantages of free competitive bidding, except where incompatible with objectives of the industrial policy. Slide 8 Science payload technology validation section • ESTEC (Noordwijk, NL) / Science directorate / Future missions office • ~ 20 people • 1 laboratory and mechanics workshop: focused on payload/instrumentation aspects, mainly detectors and readout electronics • 5 detector characterization benches: 2 Near-IR (Euclid, generic), 3 Visible (Gaia, generic, PLATO) • In support to Science missions from study to operation phase, we perform: • Performance specific studies (often related to radiation effects on detectors) • Technology validation, i.e. cross-validation of measurements performed in the industry, by scientific consortia • Generic technology development Slide 9 ESA’s contribution to ESI2017 1.

Because of the cooperation between ESA, EC and the national space agencies: . The European space industry sustains around 35 000 jobs; . Europe is successful in the commercial arena, with a market share of telecom and launch services higher than the fraction of Europe’s public spending worldwide; . European scientific communities are world-class and attract international cooperation; . Research and innovation centres are recognised worldwide; . European space operators (Arianespace, Eumetsat, Eutelsat, SES Global, etc.) are the most successful in the world. Slide 12 Birth of commercial operators ESA’s ‘catalyst’ role ESA is responsible for R&D of space projects. On completion of qualification, they are handed to outside entities for production and exploitation. Most of these entities emanated from ESA. Meteorology: Eumetsat Launch services: Arianespace Telecoms: Eutelsat and Inmarsat Slide 13 ESA Council The Council is the governing body of ESA. It provides the basic policy guidelines for ESA’s activities. Each Member State is represented on the Council and has one vote. Every two to three years, Council meets at ministerial level (‘Ministerial Council’) to take key decisions on new and continuing programmes and financial commitment. The ESA Council at ministerial level also meets together with the EU Council to form the European ‘Space Council’. Slide 14 Ministerial Council 2016, Lucerne Ministers declared support for the ESA Four Resolutions were adopted: Director General’s vision for Europe in space and . Towards Space 4.0 for a ‘United Space in the role and development of ESA: now the Europe’; Space 4.0i era can start with ESA committing to inform, innovate, interact and inspire. The . Level of Resources for the Agency’s next Council at ministerial level is scheduled for Mandatory Activities 2017–21; the end of 2019 in Spain. Guiana Space Centre, 2017–21; . ESA Programmes. Slide 15 Space 4.0: a new era of space Space 4.0 represents the evolution of the space sector into a new era: . From being the preserve of the governments of a few spacefaring nations, to an increased number of diverse space actors around the world; . With the emergence of private companies, participation with academia, industry and citizens, digitalisation and global interaction; . Analogous to, and is intertwined with, Industry 4.0, which is considered as the unfolding fourth industrial revolution of manufacturing and services. Slide 16 Space 4.0i Space 4.0 is adapted to an ESA-specific derivative, ‘Space 4.0i’, which describes the way ESA will play its role as a space agency for Europe. Space 4.0i combines the described global situation of space developments with the ‘i’ standing for an ESA-specific interpretation of the tasks: . ESA innovates – through more disruptive and risk-taking technologies; . ESA informs – through the reinforcement of the link with large public and user communities; . ESA inspires – through the launch of new initiatives and programmes, both current and future generations; . ESA interacts – through enhanced partnerships with Member States, European institutions, international players and industrial partners. Slide 17 SCIENCE ESA’s pioneers of space science (1) .
