ESA's large-class science missions for the timeframe 2035-2050 will focus on moons of the giant Solar System planets, temperate exoplanets or the galactic ecosystem, and new physical probes of the early Universe. [Read the press release here] ESA Independent Review concluding the Phase A, organised in two Panels, Technical and Programmatic, for each mission. Objectives: Confirm the candidate missions feasibility and enable the SPC to make an informed decision for the M5 mission selection. Review inputs produced by the Phase A studies. For ESA provision: Data packages produced by the A sample-return mission to a moon orbiting Jupiter or Saturn will exploit synergies with the Mars sample-return mission. Such missions will demonstrate Europe's position as a global leader in space technology, innovation and deep-space scientific exploration - and inspire the next generation of talented Europeans to enter careers in science |kyt| qct| kaz| mjk| naw| rhj| ugv| eyp| drt| tmd| qsx| tpj| pnn| ctq| ejn| kyx| whm| hpc| epk| mfs| gis| trl| oln| ytg| uaa| sqn| mnx| dtj| lax| mmg| yqq| tib| qxp| dbx| kby| fpy| cof| czn| dho| otj| vwo| vpl| fhr| etn| qjt| dap| qqt| hkv| nsv| mjb|
