The ‘Microlaunchers and associated spaceports’ workshop was hosted jointly with the European Commission on 4 July 2019, with presentations on updates on the EU and ESA on-going and future activities related to microlaunchers.
More than ten European microlauncher projects were presented and six dedicated spaceports. Each session was followed by a Q&A session before a panel. ESA is proposing for Space19+ a Commercial space transportation services programme to support privately-led and proposed service proposals, including for launch services making use of microlaunchers.
