The European Space Agency has made a huge leap in issuing the Matoshinhos Declaration, which will accelerate Europe’s use of space and respond to urgent and unprecedented challenges facing Europe and its citizens. Josef Aschbacher wrote that today, as a resolution, it was unanimously approved by the Council of Ministers, opening a new era in which people hope to explore and discover.
Joseph Aschbach is Director General of the European Space Agency (ESA).
On earth More than 4 It has existed for hundreds of millions of years, and it has so many immortal moments. So much evolution. The first person to discover the use of fire, Invent the wheel.TonHe first Humanity Walking in MeterOh that create of the Internet. The earth has validated formation The destruction of life, species, technological and social progress, and, In the final analysis, is the return of one’s own health.
We are now on the cornerstone of history.Right now, as forests are burning in fires, Europe and the entire world are facing unprecedented challenges, and cities are flooding.. immediately It’s time to contribute in a bold and shared way ambition To space-enabled solutions.
ambition. This is a word I often use.Ambition is the driving force that drives mankind to achieve goals Important, impossible, unimaginable. It was it that drove Europeans to explore and cross the Atlantic to reach new lands, and then send the first radio signal in the same waters. It drove the discovery of the antibiotic penicillin in Europeans, and has since saved millions of lives. To discover the general theory of relativity, please send the first space probe to conduct a detailed study of the comet, send the lander to its surface, and land on the comet with a spectacular ending.
ambition. The youth of our planet Yes Full of ambition (mixed with disappointment, anger and hope, undeniably, well, understandable), as we have seen on the streets of Glasgow recently Beyond During COP-26.
A sort ofAmbition. As the saying goes: “Ambition is the path to success. But persistence is the vehicle you reach‘. Therefore, we must shift from ambition to persistence and action what Is placed in 2025 agenda (strategywith A generation developed arrive Riceelectronic European space games When i became director general ESA) therefore Towards Create dialogue, inspiration, with Change.
thoriumExactly Matosinhos declaration, this aboutThe solution unanimously adopted by ESA at the Intermediate Ministerial Conference in Portugal on November 19, 2021, Do.it representSecond The power of quantity.strength of A united Europe is Serve its citizens by accelerating space fOr the improvement and progress of its people and the entire planet. One Europe, let users with citizen exist The center of its space activities.
The declaration is A sort of Commitment to focus on three initiative, Called an accelerator, Speed up space utilization The biggest challenge today, With specific Urgency Start to implement the first focus on Space for a green future arrive Gain a better understanding of the current state of the planet, and formulate plans and solutions for sustainable living On this planet And make effective contributions to achieving climate neutrality.
Then we must shift from studying, observing and understanding the earth action based on The deep knowledge we have acquired.This is where the second accelerator comes into play, Need to develop a Quick and resilient crisis response System to Support stakeholders to take decisive action on the crisis facing Europe. We cannot focus on the first two without ensuring protection. The lie The third accelerator: this Protect space assets Helps to maintain and protect our Assets from space debris and space weather threat.
Seconddistance this, wattelectronic return Need our own’Great Leap Forward‘ moment Stimulate the curiosity of young Europeans on STEM topics so that we can continue strengthen And strengthen these areas for future generations. Inspiring missions will help drive innovation in the new space economy that is beginning to take shape. this Getter: Task catapult Europe’s position as a global leader in space technology, Innovation, And deep space scientific exploration to promote the development of commercialization, modern and forward-looking European entrepreneurship, multilateral cooperation, education, human capital and STEM. Thinking: Ice and Snow Mission MeterOh, uncover the secrets about it the origin Life or Space exploration takes European astronauts beyond International Space Station.
Through Matosinhos declaration Has created the necessary momentum today arrival Exceed our ambition with Jump-Start A generationTake no action. The next steps and decisions will be formulated and made at the meeting European Space Summit And the ESA Council MeterMinisterial meeting, Both To be held in 2022.
