The activities set out below aim at: the exploitation of space assets (in coordination with in-situ assets, including airborne assets) for the implementation of applications, namely GMES and their contribution to law enforcement in EU policies; as well as space exploration and on-orbit servicing infrastructure , allowing international cooperation opportunities and dramatic technological breakthroughs as well as cost-efficient missions ; exploitation and ...[+++] exploration of space supported through enabling activities guaranteeing the strategic role of the European Union.

Major successful space research missions under European leadership have placed ESA and its Member States, the European science community and both manufacturing and services industries at the forefront.
