The European Space Agency’s Exploration Programme

9.00 - 9.25 GMT

ESA’s future for human spaceflight and robotic exploration is a sustainable and international endeavour with the objective to extend human knowledge and presence across the Solar System. 

Exploring space involves pushing the boundaries of human understanding and capabilities, answering fundamental questions, and inspiring generations to dream and innovate. It combines scientific rigour with a spirit of adventure to redefine the limits of human knowledge. 

ESA experts will present an array of their extraordinary missions and exploration programme; the latest developments in ESA's astronaut programme and their key role in the International Space Station; and updates on the next ESA missions to Mars, ExoMars mission and Mars Sample Return.

Plus a chance to join in with a live Q&A with ESA!
