Cybersecurity in Space

Space services used to be separated from networks on Earth, but this model has changed over the last few years, with the two becoming more and more interdependent. Space-based services support essential services such as military, utilities, aviation and emergency communications and therefore get drawn into geopolitical conflicts on Earth. This is why there needs…

Evolution of Mars Rovers

Twenty-five years ago that little robot, a six-wheeled rover named Sojourner, made it — becoming the first in a string of rovers built and operated by NASA to explore Mars. Four more NASA rovers, each more capable and complex than the last, have surveyed the Red Planet. The one named Curiosity marked its 10th year…

Opportunities in New Space

“New space” refers to the recent commercialisation of the space sector. While the state used to have a monopoly over the sector, private actors now play an increasingly important role, most notably companies like SpaceX and the so-called “GAFAs” (Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon). Furthermore, digital applications are dominated by ever fewer companies, most of…

Terrae Novae: Europe’s exploration vision

ESA’s Terrae Novae exploration programme is leading Europe’s human journey into the Solar system using robots as precursors and scouts. Exploring space is about travelling farther and coming back with new experiences and knowledge to help us on Earth. Humankind will benefit from the new discoveries, ambitions, science, inspiration, and challenges. Looking further ahead the Terrae…
