Join us live to follow the ‘Ready for the Moon’ event, a high-level political conference on the challenges and ambitions for Europe's space sector. [Update 6 June: Sessions were broadcast on ESA Web TV Channel Two, a replay is available in our video gallery.]
The ‘Ready for the Moon’ conference will dig deeper into the recommendations from the Revolution Space report. Austria’s Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer, ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher and representatives from Europe’s space sector will explore how decisions taken now could affect Europe’s ability to participate in the growing space infrastructure.
Frank De Winne, head of ESA’s European Astronaut Centre, Carmen Possnig, member of the ESA Astronaut Reserve, and John McFall, member of the ESA Astronaut Reserve and participant in the feasibility study for astronauts with disabilities, will contribute to the conversation.
