ESA at the Farnborough air and space show 2014

This year, when the European Space Agency and its member states are celebrating 50 years of European cooperation in space, ESA’s exhibition underlines the importance of building on past achievements in space science, exploration and applications to shape the future of Europe in this strategic sector. 

The exhibition reflects the wealth of recent mission results and upcoming launches across all space domains.

ESA helps to develop satellite systems and technologies, opening up new markets for European industry by sharing expertise and risk in order to build operational missions. 

Creating new technology lies at the heart of ESA activities, helping European industry to compete worldwide. At Farnborough, ESA is displaying some of the innovative and cross-cutting technologies flying on its Proba satellites, and will host daily demonstrations of space technologies and systems spun out from ESA’s Business Incubation Centres.
