Ministers from the 22 ESA member states and Canada will gather in Lucerne, Switzerland on 1-2 December to discuss future spending priorities for the ESA space programme.

ESA members fund a core programme of space activities but can also subscribe to optional programmes. Before the ESA Ministerial Council meeting, each ESA directorate has drawn-up a list of priorities to be considered by ministers. In this report, we hear from ESA’s Telecommunications and Integrated Applications Directorate.

It  contains  an interview with Magali Vaissiere, Director, Telecommunications and Integrated Applications, ESA in English (A-Roll) and in French (B-Roll) and includes some new EDRS animation.
