Euroconsult, the leading global consulting firm specializing in space markets, has partnered with ESPI to investigate European institutional mission scenarios for the period beyond 2030 following the ITT on New European Space Transportation Solutions (NESTS).
Euroconsult and ESPI will deliver an independent analysis focusing on the demand drivers of the future space transportation solutions in the period 2030-50 along already awarded contracts to ArianeGroup, Avio and Rocket Factory Augsburg (a subsidiary of OHB SE).
"Space transportation capabilities are evolving due to changes in launch demand and customers' requirements and to the availability of innovative and cost-effective solutions serving these," stated Euroconsult CEO Pacome Revillon.
"Euroconsult and ESPI expertise combined will guarantee the independence and neutrality of the results. All partners are fully committed to delivering a study that lays the groundwork for the future of the European space transportation sector," he added.
"ESA, through its New European Space Transportation Solutions initiative, lays the foundations that enable us to prepare the future beyond Ariane 6 and Vega-C. These system concept studies will include services that prioritize the future needs of Europe's space programs but also allow us to address global market needs," commented Daniel Neuenschwander, ESA Director of Space Transportation.
The Euroconsult and ESPI assignment will be completed before June 2021 and will feed the preparation of proposals to be submitted for decision at the next Council Meeting at Ministerial level in 2022.

ESA defines elements of future European space transportation solutions
Paris (ESA) Mar 12, 2021
Space transportation technologies are intrinsically complex, some needing long development cycles of up to a decade. For this reason, ESA is seeking early insights into long-term trends and potential evolutions in all application domains taking into account the needs of future programmes currently under preparation. For this purpose, ESA has signed, within its New European Space Transportation Solutions (NESTS) initiative, study contracts each worth euro 500 000, with ArianeGroup, Avio and Rocket ... read more
