Global space exploration is at a turning point – Support the further definition of ESA Exploration Strategy 2030+

Global space exploration is at a turning point, reaching to a new dimension beyond human presence in low Earth orbit, with a clear vision and roadmap to the Moon and Mars. This vision is spearheaded by the USA and NASA, while China, Russia and India are announcing their own plans for expanding Human presence in the solar system. Europe shall now embrace this dimension with a renewed exploration programme writing its own path to planetary exploration.

This Position Paper, available here, supports the definition of ESA Exploration Strategy 2030+ to secure the right level of European presence in international exploration endeavours.
