A fresh start for Europe's space agency
Article Abstract:
European Space Agency (ESA) has an opportunity to explore the Solar System especially if it can quickly shift its attention beyond the International Space Station. Europe could take the lead in a number of scientific endeavors, mostly in astronomy, that have been left open by NASA's change of direction towards exploration with the Galileo program for global positioning and the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security Initiative, both scheduled for the end of 2008.
