ACTIVITIES
• Navigation• Telecommunications• Technology• Operations
ESA is one of the few space agencies in the world to combine responsibility in nearly all areas of space activity.
* Space science is a Mandatory programme, all Member States contribute to it according to GNP. All other programmes are Optional, funded ‘a la carte’ by Participating States.

50 YEARS OFEUROPEAN COOPERATION IN SPACE
• In 1964, Conventions of the precursors of ESA (ESRO & ELDO) entered into force.
• 2014 is dedicated to addressing the future in the light of these 50 years of unique achievements in space, which have put ESA among the leading space agencies of the world.
• 50 years of European cooperation in space is an anniversary for the whole space sector in Europe, which can be proud of its results and achievements.
• Testimony that, when Member States share challenging objectives and join forces, Europe is at the leading edge of progress, innovation and growth, for the benefit of all its citizens.
• This has been, and continues to be, ESA’s mission for the future.
