“European Space Agency”
The European Space Agency (ESA) is looking at possible ideas at the moment. Later, it will choose two space missions, to start around 2017 or 2018. The project is called Cosmic Vision. In Cosmic Vision, the ESA is asking “What are the big questions in space science?” and “How can we find answers to these questions?”. They haven’t decided anything yet, but here are some possible future missions.
Perhaps they’ll go to Europa, one of the Moons of Jupiter. They know there’s ice there, but isthere also water?
Perhaps they’ll fly a balloon on Titan, one of Saturn’s moons. They’ll also go to Enceladus, another of Saturn’s many moons.
Perhaps they’ll build a new telescope which uses X-ray vision. The telescope will be in two different parts, and they’ll have to fly them both into space.
Perhaps they’ll land a robot on an asteroid flying near the Earth. The robot will cut off a piece of the asteroid, and will then bring it back to Earth.
These missions will be expensive. That’s why they will only choose two. They will probably choose one mission that costs them about 650 million euros, and another that is less expensive: about 300 million euros.
