ESA Call for New Mission Ideas
December 22, 2020
Out of the 201 ideas submitted to the European Space Agency's open call for new mission ideas,
about twenty have been chosen to be further developed.
Of the published concepts, it appears that about 3 energy from space projects were selected including ESA's own space solar power proposal.
After further evaluation of all the proposals beginning in early 2021, ESA will eventually pick 3-5 ideas for implementation as missions.
Finding the best ideas for ESA's next space missions
About every three years, ESA Ministerial council meetings decide on new space missions. These decisions require careful preparation to provide ministers with the necessary information. Following the successful Space19+ ministerial meeting, now is the right time to plant the seeds for new programmatic decisions on new missions and new space projects.
ESA has a solid and iterated plan for each its activity domains as well as a long-term plan covering the next 10 years.
This call for ideas intends to tap into the insight, competence and creativity of all, industry, academia and private citizens to identify ideas for new space missions beyond the current planning or scope.
