ESA_School_Days_ESRIN_13-17_March_2023_c Video: 00:02:20

In the week of 13-17 March 2023, more than 1400 students attended the ESA School Days event at ESRIN, the ESA Centre for Earth Observation located in Frascati, near Rome, Italy. The students and their teachers, coming from Lazio and other Italian regions, discovered more about ESA and the projects it is involved in, thanks also to creative hands-on labs, a visit to the Earth observation multimedia centre and the launch of rocket models. During the full-day visit, the focus was on themes such as Earth observation, satellites in orbit, ESA launch programmes, asteroid tracking, and how space exploration and ESA’s activities benefit daily life.

Nella settimana del 13-17 marzo 2023, più di 1400 studenti hanno preso parte all’evento ESA School Days a ESRIN, il Centro ESA per l’Osservazione della Terra situato a Frascati, vicino Roma. È stata questa un’occasione, per gli studenti e per i loro insegnanti provenienti dalle scuole del Lazio e di altre regioni italiane, per conoscere meglio l’ESA e scoprire i numerosi progetti spaziali in cui l’Agenzia è coinvolta, grazie anche ai laboratori creativi, alla visita al centro multimediale di Osservazione della Terra e al lancio di razzo modelli. Nel corso della visita di un giorno sono stati approfonditi temi quali Osservazione della Terra, satelliti in orbita, programmi di lancio dell’ESA, ricerca e monitorraggio di asteroidi, e come l’esplorazione dello spazio e le attività dell’ESA portino beneficio alle attività quotidiane qui sulla Terra.

      Video: 00:06:07 Space is huge and essential to humankind, fuelling knowledge, supporting our economies and driving global prosperity. None of this would be possible without reliable access to space. 
      Since 1979, Europe has relied on the Ariane rockets and Vega series to launch its missions. Today, with Ariane 6 and Vega-C, ESA ensures Europe's autonomous and independent access to space. But we are also looking ahead. With the Ariane Smart Transfer and Release In-orbit Ship (ASTRIS), Phoebus, P160C boosters, the MR-10 engine and more, ESA is enhancing its rockets with new innovations that improve cost, performance, capability and sustainability.
      ESA is also leading the way in developing new propulsion systems to power the European launchers of the future. In collaboration with industry, ESA is supporting the development of new technologies to be used on rocket, boosters, upper stages, landers and spacecraft.
      Initiaves like Boosters for European Space Transportation (BEST!), Technologies for High-thrust Re-Usable Space Transportation (THRUST!) and Future Innovation and Research in Space Transporation programme (FIRST!), are advancing key technologies for reusable boosters, engines and other innovations crucial for the future of space exploration. ESA's Space Rider is a reusable spacecraft and robotic laboratory, designed to stay in low Earth-orbit for two months and return payloads to Earth. Themis is a prototype for testing reusable rocket technologies, including vertical takeoff, landing and reuse, powered by the Prometheus engine.
      The future of space transport extends beyond Earth launches, with in-orbit operations, transportation systems to support satellite servicing, orbital refuelling, and payload transfers between orbits. 
      To support all of this, ESA is upgrading its ground support and Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, to accommodate more launches. 
      Through programmes like ‘Boost!’ ESA is empowering the European Space Industry, supporting innovative companies which are creating new launch services. The European Launcher Challenge is shaping a competitive European launch sector for the future, strengthening Europe's autonomous access to space.
