Long live Star Wars
19. January 2020The European Space Agency’s science and exploration missions have been much in the news over the last couple of years, with exciting results from its Gaia Milky Way surveyor and other astronomical observatories, the decade-long saga of the Rosetta comet-chasing spacecraft and its Philae lander, the arrival of the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter and Schiaparelli at the Red Planet, and the launch of the international BepiColombo mission to Mercury.
in his lecture Once explorers, always explorers at FedCon 28, Prof. Mark McCaughrean will give you an insight into these missions and others in ESA’s fleet, their challenges and scientific discoveries, and tell you what’s coming next as we continue our exploration of the solar system and the wider Universe beyond.
