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.
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).
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. 🚀🏴☠️🎸
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a fraction of the cost, seeing as you don't want to develop any for yourselves while EU citizens will demand funding is withdrawn.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.
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! 🚀🏴☠️🎸
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.
@@lmaolol7702 And for Reusability, Europe has some projets like the prometheus methane booster, Themis and Callisto. and the futur Maia Launcher for 2026
Happy cinquentenaire! Wishing ESA many decades full of ground-breaking achievements
We need to understand science and excel in it to sustain
Here's to many many more years and successes.
great... bravoo
Poland CAN into space!
I hope your budget for 2025 is bigger than it was for 2024!!!
❤❤❤

Europe needs to reclaim its spirit before talking about any sub-category achievements. The same spirit that built the V2.

Držím palce.Super.A nech všetko vyjde.
Hello Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 EESA love ❤️❤️❤️ 2025 Astronomy 🔭🌌👀

The Prometheus booster is literally in development as we speak.
Ariane 7 is meant to be reusable.

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!
