European Space Launchers – SALTO: Reusable strategic space launcher technologies
Di: Zoey
ESA intends to strengthen European industry by fostering a globally competitive European space sector with increased industry The P160C qualification motor was successfully tested on 24 April at the European Spaceport in French Guiana, on the solid-propellant booster test stand (BEAP)
The output of the space industrial sector can be summarised every year with the measure of the mass of European spacecraft delivered for launch, and the measure of the mass launched by
EU space policy: State of play
Europe’s position in the launch sector Sending European rockets into space has long relied on stable cross-national public-private partnerships and foreign-made launchers. ESA, the European Space Agency, wants more European launcher companies. It’s starting a competition to support new development of launch vehicles from Europe
The SALTO aims to raise the maturity level of the first European reusable rocket technology, significantly reduce launch costs, ensure improvements in the environmental footprint and The missions is designed through a partnership between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the European Organization for the Exploration of Meteorological

Using the new European-made launchers – Ariane 6 and Vega C – will contribute to the EU objectives of ensuring independent, reliable and cost-effective access to space. The Western European nations decided to have two agencies: one concerned with space exploration and satellite The developing a launch system, ELDO (European Launcher Development European Launch Vehicles European Rockets Overview Early European satellite launchers included the French Diamant series, and the British Black Arrow. An early international effort
Our vision We are catalyzing a space-driven era to enhance life on Earth, pioneering a path to a sustainable civilization harnessing space resources. We are not just launching satellites — we
The EU has vowed to safeguard its access to space, as the failure of the landmark Ariane programme leaves the bloc reliant on US launchers. An “unprecedented crisis” required

Josef Aschbacher, the agency’s director-general, told the Financial Times that the decision at its space summit in Seville last November to open the European launcher market to Orbex is Europe’s leading orbital launch services company, serving the small satellite industry. Their micro-launch vehicle is one of the most advanced, low carbon, high performance satellite
FLPP is investigating electro-mechanical actuators for smoother separation and jettisoning of launcher payloads that would also slash costs for future evolutions of European launch The European space industry is actively working to enhance its independent and competitive access to space. A central effort in this pursuit is the European Launcher With the creation of the European Space Agency (ESA) in 1975, European countries pooled their limited space budgets on joint programmes such as launchers and space exploration.
ESA has chosen five rocket firms to compete for €169mn contracts, aiming to restore Europe’s independent access to space. Seeing Europe’s new launcher lift off into space marks the culmination of an outstanding technical and technological adventure, and the beginning of a long history of The European Space Agency has officially published a call for proposals for its European Launcher Challenge (ELC).
