Ministers from the 22 ESA member states and Canada will gather in Lucerne, Switzerland on 1-2 December to discuss future spending priorities for the ESA space programme. ESA members fund a core programme of space activities but can also subscribe to optional programmes.
Before the meeting, each ESA directorate has drawn-up a list of priorities to be considered by ministers. In this report, we hear from ESA’s Navigation Directorate on its proposals for an innovation and support programme.
This story includes an interview with Paul Verhoef, Director, Navigation Programme, ESA in English (A-Roll), Dutch, French and German (B-Roll)
