Canada is an associate member of the European Space Agency.
Canada contributed €407.7 million to ESA’s €22.3 billion budget for the next three years.
ESA astronauts aboard the International Space Station contribute to Europe’s continuous operational presence in low Earth orbit and help maintain European human spaceflight skills.
The FOC-1A antenna will be able to support future missions connected to ESA’s global mission and satellite tracking network ESA Estrack.
ESA describes the MTG-S infrared sounder as the first European hyperspectral sounding instrument in geostationary orbit.
ESA provided an animation using MTG-S Infrared Sounder data that tracks the Hayli Gubbi volcano eruption on November 23, 2025.
Telespazio is the prime contractor for ESA’s Moonlight program for lunar communications and navigation.
ESA’s first year of the three-year budget cycle is €8.26 billion.
The planned ESA Celeste LEO-PNT demonstrator satellites will broadcast in L-band.
Germany participates in the Artemis program through the European Space Agency (ESA).
The European Space Agency supplied the European Service Module (ESM) that will provide water, air, electricity, and thermal comfort to Artemis II astronauts during the mission.
The Exploration Company is focused on completing an initial test flight of Nyx to the International Space Station in 2028 under the European Space Agency’s LEO Cargo Return Services programme.
The HECC is intended to be built with long-term support from ESA as a European control center for astronautical and robotic exploration.
The European Space Agency participates in the Artemis program to maintain a role in defining the emerging cislunar architecture.
ESA is preparing a reentry research mission called Draco scheduled for launch in 2027 that will carry more than two hundred sensors and four cameras to record how a spacecraft heats up, deforms, and breaks apart during reentry.
ESA expects data from the Cluster targeted reentries and the Draco mission to significantly improve its reentry simulations and reduce uncertainty in fragment landing predictions and risk assessments for civil protection authorities.
Parsimoni’s Satellite App Store was developed with support from the European Space Agency.
ESA’s flight dynamics team analysed how to shift the reentry footprints of Samba and Tango without compromising safety, and the space debris team verified that the new trajectories would not introduce unacceptable collision risks with other objects in orbit.
ESA’s flight control team uplinked commands and the Cluster satellites executed small thruster burns on 19 and 20 January to reshape their orbits so both final descents would fall within range of the observing aircraft.
ESA adjusted the reentry trajectories of Samba and Tango so Samba will come down further east and Tango will reenter somewhat further west to keep both reentries reachable from a single airport and within range of a small plane.
