  • climate change modelling using data from space;
  • and developing new technologies for the next era of planetary exploration, including robotics and innovative power sources that could be used on the Moon and Mars.

 

The Centre hosts the ESA Climate Office and also runs activities in the domains of Space Exploration. It supports the use of space technology in downstream domains through Integrated Applications, technology transfer activities and a Business Incubator.states.
