Eurospace Position Paper “The future ESA Programme in Earth Observation: the catalyst for the growth of the European space EO industry”

by

In November of this year in Bremen, ESA will propose an array of programmes for the next three years, including a new package for Earth Observation.

In its new Position Paper “The future ESA Programme in Earth Observation: the catalyst for the growth of the European space EO industry”, available HERE, the European Space Industry, represented by Eurospace, would like to highlight how the ESA EO programme that will be proposed in November will be key in fostering its competitiveness and excellence and promoting its products and services throughout the world, while reinforcing European autonomy. This is the reason why Europe needs to continue proposing and developing new initiatives.

The European space industry is strongly convinced that the renewed ambitions put forward by the ESA Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes (D/EOP) for the next Ministerial Conference will allow Europe to further strengthen its Earth Observation assets in support to the traditional and emerging needs of European institutions and citizens, with the dynamic commitment and support of ESA Member States.
