A selection of highlights of the latest news from ESA’s activities. ESA continues to work during the Covid-19 pandemic, from monitoring air quality to keeping satellites in orbit – with some of our engineers driving spacecraft from quarantine. Astronaut support engineer Romain Charles shares nine tips on how to live in isolation – he spent 520 days locked in a mockup spacecraft and is a true expert on the subject. Learn about the next mission to bring humans to the Moon and ESA’s contribution with the European Service Module. Relive the launch of Solar Orbiter to study our nearest star, look ahead to Copernicus Sentinel-6 that will examine sea-level rise and discover Europe’s spaceport in French Guiana. At the end of this programme, Professor Stephen Hawking and musician Vangelis bring us a special message.

Starting from the Soyuz MS-15 spacecraft that bought Drew to the Space Station, the duo show each module and spacecraft docked with the International Space Station at the time it was recorded around the New Year 2020. Passing colleagues include NASA astronaut Jessica Meir and Christina Koch exercising and Russian cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Skripochka. The tour ends with a view from the Station’s Cupola observatory.

What’s space got to do with it?
From air quality to growing blood vessels, see how space is part of our everyday lives. Satellites flying high above our heads are providing information and support services that benefit us directly – and we may not even know it. In addition, the technology built for and tested in space can be used here on Earth for innovative applications.
