Contents: ESA and science. ESA and Earth observation (Explorer Core missions, Explorer opportunity missions, Earth Watch). ESA and telecommunications. ESA and navigation. ESA and launchers. ESA and manned spaceflight. The ESA Science Programme is one of the Agency's mandatory activities, in which all Member States participate. The origins of the Science Programme, the oldest in the Agency, hark back to the days of ESRO. ESRO's seven successful scientific satellites paved the way for ESA's remarkable series of pioneering missions that have placed Europe at the vanguard of disciplines such as X-ray, gamma-ray and infrared astronomy; astrometry; solar system sciences (especially cometary), solar and heliospheric physics, as well as space plasma physics. Driven by the limited available means, ESA's Science Programme has consistently focused on missions with strong innovative contents. All of the missions launched or approved so far are covered in separate entries in this volume.
