The Future of Europe in Space

What are ESA’s future missions and milestones for 2023? Is ESA planning a future mission to Mars? What are the challenges of the European space sector?
These were some of the challenging questions that were debated during the talk “The future of Europe in Space” with Dr. Aschbacher. The 7i HL Physics students exchange views about several topics, that included an overview of ESA’s previous success missions and the Austrian Space Strategy 2030+.

The event was organised by the TU Wien.
