The European Space Agency (ESA) invites media representatives to the official unveiling of its new High-Performance Computing Environment (Space HPC) at ESRIN, Frascati, Italy, on 12 March 2025 at 09:30 CET This state-of-the-art computing infrastructure marks a significant step towards making ESA a more data-driven organisation, enabling innovation, industrial development, and the future of European space exploration.

Media representatives are invited to attend a briefing on 13 March 2025 following the Hera mission’s close flyby of Mars and its enigmatic moon, Deimos, on 12 March. The flyby is a significant milestone in Hera’s journey to the binary asteroid system Didymos and a crucial step in the ESA's efforts to develop reliable methods for asteroid deflection and planetary defence

"Resilient PNT - Backbone of Autonomy & Critical Infrastructure!" - this will be the theme of the 2025 edition of the Munich Satellite Navigation Summit. Today PNT services from space are challenged from many directions. Jamming and spoofing events are at an all-time high, but also solar activity is at its maximum causing degraded navigation accuracy or malfunctioning systems in space and on earth. Whereas the everyday use of GNSS by smartphones is still perceived as perfectly normal, those challenges clearly impact operations of safety critical autonomous systems on land, at sea and in the air. The same is true for critical infrastructure depending on space based PNT and required to operate it. But with the help of modernized GNSS including possible support via LEO-PNT, terrestrial navigation systems or other sensors, GNSS will continue to provide reliable services from the Earth to the Moon’s surface.

This fall, Tibor Kapu, a Hungarian astronaut, will make history (again) by traveling to the ISS. To mark this incredible achievement, an extraordinary and high-profile event is being organised in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary, the HUNOR Hungarian Astronaut Program, and the Liszt Institute Brussels. The event will bring together leading international and Hungarian experts, representatives, and even astronauts.

A Nemzeti Közszolgálati Egyetem Távközlési, Légi- és Világűrjogi Kutatóintézete és a Magyar Hadtudományi Társaság tisztelettel meghívja Önt a három új, világűrjogi témában megjelent könyv bemutatójára.

More information and registration will follow soon.

The Purpose is to present to Industry the content of the Programme Proposal relevant to industry for the CM25 preparation, and hence the significant industrial opportunities of the exciting and ambitious projects of the European Exploration Envelop Programme. In view of the dynamic international exploration context, it is expected that there will be an extended attendance and varied industrial participation of relevant technological sectors, with opportunities for networking among industry and also with ESA HRE management.

Join us for an exclusive event connecting the Ministry of National Economy, the European Space Agency and representatives of the Hungarian space industries to learn more about the various ESA calls and opportunities to bolster the ecosystem.

The space economy is booming, with thousands of satellites now in orbit. But as congestion increases, how can the space community ensure that space remains a sustainable and viable environment for business, exploration, and innovation? Join us on Apr. 3 for an exclusive one-on-one conversation with Aarti Holla-Maini, director of the United Nations’ Office for Outer Space Affairs. With decades of experience shaping global space policy—including leadership roles at NorthStar Earth & Space and the Global Satellite Operators Association—she understands the challenges and solutions that may be necessary for managing space sustainability.

EUMETSAT will be joined in the organisation and hosting of the event by Météo-France, the national provider for weather and climate services in France. Over the years, the EUMETSAT user conference has become a key annual event for the meteorological and scientific communities where participants from around the world can meet to share their experience and knowledge during plenary, poster and workshop sessions. The theme of this year’s annual EUMETSAT conference is “From Space to Safety: Earth Observation for Future Weather and Climate Preparedness”.

The overarching theme of the 2025 edition is ‘Towards Space Sustainability’. This international forum discusses state-of-the-art principles, methods and tools in space operations and provides an opportunity to foster interchange on all aspects of space mission ops, including human and robotic, near Earth and deep space exploration. The event provides a platform for the space operations community to discuss emerging developments and best practices, with a focus on resilience and sustainability. It also offers a unique opportunity for interested young enthusiasts and early career professionals to meet with international experts from across the space industry.

We are pleased to invite you to the MoonRad Industry Day, an event dedicated to presenting the MoonRad Lunar Space Weather Exploration SmallSat Constellation Mission.
