The Council is the governing body of ESA. Itprovides the basic policy guidelines for ESAsactivities. Each Member State is represented onthe Council and has one vote.

About every three years, Council meets atministerial level (Ministerial Council) to takekey decisions on new and continuingprogrammes and financial commitment.

The ESA Council at ministerial level also meetstogether with the EU Council to form theEuropean Space Council.

ESAs industrial policy:

ensures that Member States get a fairreturn on their investment;

improves competitiveness of Europeanindustry;

maintains and develops spacetechnology;

exploits the advantages of freecompetitive bidding, except whereincompatible with objectives of theindustrial policy.

ESAS INDUSTRIAL POLICY

About 90% of ESAs budget isspent on contracts with Europeanindustry.

ESAs catalyst role

ESA is responsible for R&D of spaceprojects. On completion of qualification,they are handed to outside entities for

production and exploitation. Most ofthese entities emanated from ESA.

Meteorology: Eumetsat

Launch services: Arianespace

Telecomms: Eutelsat and Inmarsat

ESA AND THE EUROPEAN UNION


16/56

16

The European Union and ESA share acommon aim: to strengthen Europe andbenefit its citizens.

Closer ties and an increased cooperationbetween ESA and the EU will bringsubstantial benefits to Europe by:

guaranteeing Europes full andunrestricted access to services providedby space systems for its policies, and encouraging the increasing use of spaceto improve the lives of its citizens.

SPACE FOR EUROPE


17/56

17

The Lisbon Treaty of 2009 reinforcesthe case for space in Europe and strengthens

the role of ESA as an R&D space agency.

Article 189 of the Treaty gives the EU a

mandate to elaborate a European space

policy and take related measures, and

provides that the EU should establish

appropriate relations with ESA. ESA/EU Framework Agreement

currently in force Seven Space Council meetings and

related resolutions and orientations

provide directions and guidelines Two flagship programmes: Galileo, GMES

COSMIC VISION

ESA is assessing challengingnew missions, including probesto the moons of Jupiter andSaturn, for 201525.

The first two medium-classmissions will be launched in2017 and 2018.

ESAs long-term scientific programme is based on a vision. The Cosmic Visionlooks for answers to mankind's fundamental questions: How did we get from the 'Big Bang' to where we are now? Where did life come from, and are we alone?

The ISS unites USA, Russia, Japan, Canadaand Europe in one of the largest partnershipsin the history of science. It provides aplatform where crews of up to six astronautsconduct research into life and physicalsciences and applications, and prepare forfuture human exploration missions.

Europes two key contributions are theColumbus laboratory and the AutomatedTransfer Vehicle (ATV). Columbus provides asubstantial part of the ISSs researchcapability, specialising in fluid physics,materials science and life sciences. Europe hasalso provided Cupola, Node-2and Node-3.

ATV is an autonomous spacecraft forresupplying and reboosting the ISS. EachATV carries up to 7.7 tonnes of cargo andfuel to the ISS. They then carry wasteaway from the ISS and burn up in theatmosphere in a controlled manner.

The first ATV,Jules Verne , was launchedin 2008. The second ATV, Johannes Kepler , was launched in 2011 and anotherthree ATVs are planned for launch before2015.Building on ATV, theAdvanced ReentryVehicle (ARV) is being studied as part ofESAs European Transportation and HumanExploration Preparatory Activities.

SPACE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

The Space Situational Awareness (SSA) initiativeaims to provide Europe with services to protectsatellites and Earth. The initiative supportsEuropes independent utilisation of space, throughprovision of timely and accurate information aboutthe space environment.

SSA will strengthen reliability, availability andsecurity of Europes space-based services. It will becoordinated with international partners and theinstitutions of the European Union.

European industry will benefit from new contractsand world-class competitive capabilities gainedthrough development of the SSA infrastructure andservices.

A joint ESA/European Commission initiative,Global Monitoring for the Environment andSecurity (GMES)is the response to Europe'sneed for geo-spatial information services. It willprovide autonomous and independent access to

information for policy-makers, particularly forenvironment and security issues.

ESA is implementing the space component:developing the Sentinel satellite series, itsground segment and coordinating data access.

ESA has started a Climate Change Initiative,for storage, production and assessment ofessential climate data.

The launchers developed by ESAguarantee European access to space.Their development is an example ofhow space challenges European

industry and provides preciousexpertise.

Ariane is one of the most successfullauncher series in the world, soon to

be complemented by Vega andSoyuz, launched from EuropesSpaceport in French Guiana.

EUROPES SPACEPORT

European launchers lift off from the CentreSpatial Guyanais (CSG), Kourou, in FrenchGuiana.

CSG is operated by the French spaceagency CNES and Arianespace, with thesupport of European industry.

ESA owns the launch infrastructure for the

Ariane 5, Vega and Soyuz launchers.

CSG is ideally sited for launchingsatellites, in particular because it is closeto the equator.

SPACE TECHNOLOGY


54/56

54

The development of technology, along withaccess to space, is one of the enabling activitiesof ESA.

Supporting the competitiveness of Europeanindustry

Transferring technology from space to non-space applications (spin-off), and bringinginnovations from outside the space sector touse in the design of new space systems(spin-in).

Fostering innovation and enhances Europeantechnological independence and the availabilityof European resources for critical technologies.

SPACE TECHNOLOGY

Proba satellites are part of ESAs In-orbitTechnology Demonstration Programme.

New technology products need to bedemonstrated in orbit, particularly when usersrequire evidence of flight heritage or whenthere is a high risk associated with the use of

the new technology.

Proba satellites are among the smallestspacecraft ever to be flown by ESA, but they aremaking a big impact in the field of spacetechnology.
