Scientific paper

European Space Agency missions involving fundamental science are presented. The dark mass problem and the origin of the X-ray background is tackled with the high throughout X-ray spectroscopy mission XMM; the direct measurement of the Hubble constant through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect combining observations from XMM and from the far infrared submillimetric heterodyne spectroscopy mission; an independent check of the existence of massive neutrinos and of the theory of general relativity through helioseismology on board SOHO; and the evolution of our solar system, galaxy, and maybe of the Universe through the analysis of samples of pristine material extracted from the nucleus of a comet.
