ESA 2025: A fifty-years legacy of building the future
Вставка

- In 1975, 10 European countries came together with a vision to collaborate on key space activities: science and astronomy, launch capabilities and space applications: the European Space Agency, ESA, was born.
In 2025, we mark half a century of joint European achievement - filled with firsts and breakthroughs in science, exploration and technology, and the space infrastructure and economy that power Europe today.
During the past five decades ESA has grown, developing ever bolder and bigger projects and adding more Member States, with Slovenia joining as the latest full Member State in January.
We’ll also celebrate the 50th anniversary of ESA’s Estrack network, 30 years of satellite navigation in Europe and 20 years since ESA launched the first demonstration satellite Giove-A which laid the foundation for the EU’s own satnav constellation Galileo. Other notable celebrations are the 20th anniversary of ESA’s Business Incubation Centres, or BICs, and the 30th year in space for SOHO, the joint ESA and NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory.
Sadly though, 2025 will mean end of science operations for Integral and Gaia. Integral, ESA's gamma-ray observatory has exotic objects in space since 2002 and Gaia concludes a decade of mapping the stars. But as some space telescopes retire, another one provides its first full data release. Launched in 2023, we expect Euclid’s data release early in the new year.
Launch-wise, we’re looking forward to Copernicus Sentinel-4 and -5 (Sentinel-4 will fly on an MTG-sounder satellite and Sentinel-5 on the MetOp-SG-A1 satellite), Copernicus Sentinel-1D, Sentinel-6B and Biomass. We’ll also launch the SMILE mission, or Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer, a joint mission with the Chinese academy of science.
The most powerful version of Europe’s new heavy-lift rocket, Ariane 6, is set to fly operationally for the first time in 2025. With several European commercial launcher companies planning to conduct their first orbital launches in 2025 too, ESA is kicking off the European Launcher Challenge to support the further development of European space transportation industry.
In human spaceflight, Polish ESA project astronaut Sławosz Uznański will fly to the ISS on the commercial Axiom-4 mission. Artemis II will be launched with the second European Service Module, on the first crewed mission around the Moon since 1972.
The year that ESA looks back on a half century of European achievement will also be one of key decisions on our future. At the Ministerial Council towards the end of 2025, our Member States will convene to ensure that Europe's crucial needs, ambitions and the dreams that unite us in space become reality.
So, in 2025, we’ll celebrate the legacy of those who came before but also help establish a foundation for the next 50 years. Join us as we look forward to a year that honours ESA’s legacy and promises new milestones in space.

Happy cinquentenaire! Wishing ESA many decades full of ground-breaking achievements
I hope your budget for 2025 is bigger than it was for 2024!!!
It needs to be! We are lagging behind as it is…
@tim_peaky It's smaller by 90 million
@milo-gd3ml something is very wrong then… 😕
Here's to many many more years and successes.
We need to understand science and excel in it to sustain
PLEASE EUROPE!! ESA!! Step up the pace!! We are falling behind big time!! WAKE UP NOW!
Happpy Holidays to ESA
Congratulations on 50th! Keep it up!
Buongiorno, è tantissimi Auguri di Buon Natale a Tutti Voi che scrutate il Cielo, Auguro tanta Pace ciao!!!!!.
This is a fairly good video. I recently saw one where nothing was explained and that should not happen. These clips should reach more people and not only explain the missions, but also tell about the benefits of space exploration. Only when we get more peoples interrest can governments give more funding for ESA. NASA says that every dollar of tax money thats invested into space exploration has returnd 7fold.
ESA is also funded through tax money. There should be a much more open information policy in place. Personally I would like ESA to be better funded, but we who work and pay taxes deserve to know how that money is spended and which results it brings us.
Also important is that we need a Euroean crew launch vehicle, very soon. Don't make the same mistake as NASA. Launch the crew to an orbital station, from where they board a dedicated spaceship which stays in space and gets serviced at a space station. This spaceship may preferably run on nuclear propulsion.
🚀🏴☠️🎸
Animo Europa. Gracias.
Merry Christmas ESA
Great splendid performance ❤🎉😅😊🌲🎈🎄✨️🎇🎆
🤩
Congratulations for science and Space 🚀
great... bravoo
Many Happy Years, ESA,, ✨💖🎅💖✨
I love you more than anything, I love the universe and I look forward to many new things in 2025 EESA ❤️❤️❤️ 🌌🚀🔭👀
❤❤❤
Poland CAN into space!
Space exploration is vital for the future survival of life.
I hope that one day I will work for ESA.
Držím palce.Super.A nech všetko vyjde.
👍
Europe needs to reclaim its spirit before talking about any sub-category achievements. The same spirit that built the V2.
We don't need nazism for space exploration.
Need more ambition and more funding.
ESA should have a human space flight program, independent of NASA or Russia.
Imagine an independent European space station or moon base!
How come that ESTRACK celebrates its 50 year anniversary?
I've seen reports from 1968 refering to ESTRACK stations in Redu, Fairbanks, Falkland Islands and Svalbard.
😂
Oder 1951
From the ESA site "Our network was established in 1975, with the first 15 m-diameter station located at Villafranca del Castillo, Spain, for the International Ultraviolet Explorer mission (and since then, the original Villafranca location has expanded to become ESAC, the European Space Astronomy Centre, ESA’s major establishment in Spain)."
ESTRACK didn't exist before 1975
If you search for " Estrack: ESA's global ground station network " that should take you to the page directly (Obviously YT doesn't like external links).
merry christmas 🎊🎊🎊🎊
🌳🍀✨🍀🌳
More funds!
Poland Israel Grenlandija and Slovenija.....
Hello Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 EESA love ❤️❤️❤️ 2025 Astronomy 🔭🌌👀
Nothing about reusable rockets 😥😥😥
👍☕
👍😀👍🚀❤
This is an obituary. 50 years of wasteful single use launch systems with no plans or action to do anything about it.
ESA have basically lost the space race so far as launch systems are concerned. Focus on craft and ordering launches from reusable systems at a fraction of the cost, seeing as you don't want to develop any for yourselves while EU citizens will demand funding is withdrawn.
😂 Let me guess. You're a musky boi.
Try this *learn* about the subject you are 'dissing' before you criticise people who are smarter, more experienced, better trained and more dedicated than you.
PS. You don't have a say in what the EU does. You claim to be from the UK, the UK left the EU, remember?
@@ptonpc I don't understand it. Do you just hate the idea of space exploration? Is that what compels you to throw around meaningless insults at people who want to see something substantial happen within their lifetime?
Esa actually work on the Prometheus reusable methane booster for futur use on the last Years of Ariane 6, and the Reusable Themis and Maia project also.
The Prometheus booster is literally in development as we speak.
Ariane 7 is meant to be reusable.
ESA often had plans and sometimes started projects. Why was Hermes never completed? See how bad it looks when we ask NASA to bring one of our astronauts to the ISS? We will not set foot on the Moon before Artemis7;• that would be 2045. Japan is on the Moon with one of the early landings, but our people are supposed to stay in that tini cramped Gateway. And look at the unreliable politicians in the US. It is urgent that ESA gets independant!
🚀🏴☠️🎸
Sure..not mining new planet reaources or weapon placement...nothin like that o course..wink wink
The ESA is doing absolutely nothing of value. Europeans used to be the pioneers and explorers, now we just sit and watch idly as others speed by.
Lobby your representative to properly fund ESA then.
@ptonpc Funding is just one of many problems plagueing the ESA.
ESA currently has an all-European mission to Jupiter with Juice, It also designed the life-support modules for the Artemis program's Orion capsule.And the design of modules for the future Gateway lunar space station.
@@tecmons Wow!
@@lmaolol7702 And for Reusability, Europe has some projets like the prometheus methane booster, Themis and Callisto. and the futur Maia Launcher for 2026
