Understanding our origins and Earth’s place in the Universe is at the heart of ESA’s science programme. From Rosetta’s exploration of comets that formed at the dawn of the Solar System to peering back even further in time to the light from the first stars and galaxies with Webb, ESA has sought answers to fundamental questions.Soon, a trio of exoplanet missions – Cheops, Plato and Ariel – will analyse thousands of solar systems beyond our own, and over the next decades, today’s ‘Cosmic Vision’ missions will evolve to the ‘Voyage 2050’ plan. ESA missions will probe the early Universe, galaxy and Solar System, helping us understand if life could have evolved elsewhere.

ESA BR-348 Webb: Seeing farther
The James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) is the next great space science observatory, 100 times more sensitive than Hubble. It is designed to answer fundamental questions about the Universe and to make breakthrough discoveries in all fields of astronomy. It can detect infrared light generated by galaxies as they formed more than 13.5 billion years ago, in the aftermath of the Big Bang. Webb will see farther into our origins – from the Universe's first galaxies, to the birth of stars and planets, to exoplanets with the potential for life.

ESA BR-342 CHEOPS - Sizing and first characterisation of exoplanets
Cheops is ESA's CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite. It is the first mission dedicated to studying bright, nearby stars that are already known to host exoplanets, in order to make high-precision observations of the planet's size as it passes in front of its host star. It will focus on planets in the Earth to Neptune size range, with its data enabling the bulk density of the planets to be derived – a first-step characterisation towards understanding these alien worlds.
