Researchers of the ESA Space Science Faculty maintain collaborations with numerous individuals and institutes outside ESA, and many of the spacecraft missions host active research relevant to particular instrumentation within the external consortia and broader community.
Faculty funded projects aid a diverse range of astronomy and planetary science research by our Faculty members:
- ESAC houses ESA's largest concentration of astronomical and planetary scientists, forging particularly strong collaborations with the space science communities of Spain. Indeed, the Centro de Astrobiología (CAB) Department of Astrophysics is located on the ESAC site.
- ESTEC is the largest ESA establishment, where the vast majoity of the people are engineers developing space technologies in support of ESA's missions. The on-site technical expertise provides a unique scientific research environment, with close ties to the heart of the European astronomical communities in the Netherlands.
