    Key events with ESA participation will be:

    Monday 16 July
    11.30-12.15 - Europe's new mission: monitoring the Sun from a new viewpoint
    ESA is developing a space weather mission to be positioned in orbit at the L5 Lagrangian point. This session will introduce space weather, explaining what it is and why it is important that we are able to forecast it. The Lagrange L5 mission concept will be presented, along with the work being done to develop our forecasting capability. The panel includes experts from ESA, the UK Space Agency, the UK Met Office, the University of Reading, Mullard Space Science Laboratory, Airbus UK and RAL Space.

    Tuesday 17 July, Space Day
    10.30-11.15 - Space and its economic benefits – Media interactive talks
    Space technologies and applications are seen by governments as a valuable investment to support their national social, economic, strategic, and technological development. Innovation and efficacy of public-funded space research are called upon to sustain growth and competitiveness in Europe as well as to support employment and entrepreneurial capacities.

    Speakers: Jan Wörner, Director General, ESA; Jim Bridenstine, Administrator, NASA; Graham Turnock, Chief Executive Officer, UK Space Agency; Andy Green, President UKSpace

     
    11.30-12.15 - Space and aviation: improving both safety and operational efficiency
    Space-enabled services are bringing improved operational efficiency and safety to the aviation sector. Experts from business, academia and European institutions will describe how this will save the industry billions of pounds, improve service to the flying public and reduce CO2 emissions by millions of tonnes every year.

    Introduced by: Jan Wörner, Director General, ESA

    Speakers: Magali Vaissiere, Director of Telecommunications and Integrated Applications, ESA; Alexander Grous, Professor, London School of Economics; Peter Hotham, Deputy Executive Director, SESAR JU; John Broughton, VP Safety Operational Services, Inmarsat

     
    12.30-13.15 - Satellite and the 5G revolution: big challenges, mega-opportunities
    With ESA's help, the space sector is joining the 5G revolution. Leaders of some of industry's most disruptive companies will describe the opportunities this creates and how it is attracting new private investment and technological innovation across the value chain.
