ESA intends to issue an industrial Invitation To Tender (ITT) for Stepping Stone Missions Definition Studies. Planned for a duration of 24 months, their objective is to establish a solid technical, programmatic, and service-oriented foundation for new mission concepts. This would demonstrate the feasibility and credibility of the proposed concepts, potentially enabling a subsequent fast and efficient implementation phase.<\/p>\n \nLocation: ESA\/ESTEC in Noordwijk, The Netherlands and online
