The European Space Agency (ESA)
The European Space Agency (ESA) is Europe’s gateway to space. Its mission is to shape the development of Europe’s space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world.
Formed in 1973, when a Ministerial Conference in the Hague approved a highly ambitious space programme to carry the European space effort into the new millennium.


Since the last ESMATS, The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was successfully launched aboard an Ariane 5 from Kourou on Christmas Day 2021. JWST then took 30 days to tarvel to the Lagrange-2 position during which the sunshield and mirror segments were successfully deployed. Once at the L2 position the segments were correctly aligned and the instruments commissioned. The above images show the Hubble (left) and JWST (right) images taken of the Eagle Nebula. Other successes include BepiColombo completing a 2nd swing-by of Mercury on the 23rd June 2022, Vega-C completing its inaugural flight on the 13th July 2022 and Solar Orbiter made its closest approach yet to the Sun on 12th October 2022.

ESA member states
ESA has 22 Member States; Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Further to the 22 Member States, Canada and Slovenia, based on their agreements with ESA, also qualify to fully participate in the programmes of the ESA Education Office. Seven other EU states have Cooperation Agreements with ESA: Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta and Slovakia.
By coordinating the financial and intellectual resources of its members, ESA can undertake programmes and activities far beyond the scope of any single European country.
ESA develops the launchers, spacecraft and ground facilities needed to keep Europe at the forefront of global space activities.
Today, it launches satellites for Earth observation, navigation, telecommunications and astronomy, sends probes to the far reaches of the Solar System and cooperates in the human exploration of space.
ESA’s purpose shall be to provide for, and to promote, for exclusively peaceful purposes, cooperation among European States in space research and technology and their space applications, with a view to their being used for scientific purposes and for operational space applications systems:
- by elaborating and implementing a long-term European space policy, by recommending space objectives to the Member States, and by concerting the policies of the Member States with respect to other national and international organisations and institutions;
- by elaborating and implementing activities and programmes in the space field;
- by coordinating the European space programme and national programmes, and by integrating the latter progressively and as completely as possible into the European space programme, in particular as regards the development of applications satellites;
- by elaborating and implementing the industrial policy appropriate to its programme and by recommending a coherent industrial policy to the Member States.
