Programmatic Framework International Framework
Aurora Programme. International Strategic Framework for The objective of the Sustainable Space Aurora Programme is Exploration. first to formulate and then to implement a As global citizens, we European long-term explore space to expand plan for the robotic human knowledge, and human exploration extend human frontiers, of solar system bodies and serve society, holding promise for starting from the Moon traces of life. then going to Mars and beyond.
