Briefing meeting in advance of next Call for Medium and Fast missions
    and of an exploratory call for mini-F proposals
    in the ESA Science Programme

    Advance notice

     

    12 November 2024

    In order to maintain diversity, flexibility, and proper cadence of missions in the Science Programme, the Director of Science plans to issue, in March 2025, a Call soliciting the scientific community in ESA's Member States for proposals for both a Medium-class mission opportunity (M8; to be launched around 2041) and a Fast-class mission opportunity (F3; to be launched around 2034). At the same time, an exploratory Call will also be issued soliciting proposals for a new type of agile mission, referred to as mini-Fast missions.

    An online briefing to prospective proposers will be held on 11 December 2024, to provide any necessary clarification on the scope of the proposals, the expected information, possible international cooperation schemes, possible payload provision schemes, etc. Prospective proposers should register for the online briefing in advance.

    Registration for the workshop will open on this website on 4 December 2024.
