ESA’s long-term scientific programme is based on a vision, built on strong pragmatism and consolidated ability. ‘Cosmic Vision’ is the European starting point for quests into the advancement in space science in a contemporary context. In this context, a call for proposal is expected to be released mid-2006. A number of planetary missions will be submitted. In this session (plenary and/or workshop type), we invite all leaders to describe the scientific objectives of their proposals and the possible mission concepts. In parallel, NASA, ESA and other space agencies envisage to develop their manned space programme further than low earth orbit, to go back to the Moon and even to Mars and beyond, these programmes will impose an operational knowledge of the planetary environments and in their time will provide fantastic platforms for research in their own. Papers on the first automatic scientific steps of these programmes and on already mature manned scientific proposals are also invited to this session.
This session will be divided into 2 parts, 90 mn each (3 hrs total). The first part will be devoted to Cosmic Vision, with 2 sollicited talks (20 mn each) and 4-5 contributed talks (10-15 mn each). The second part will consist of 2 sollicited talks about the Aurora program, and 4-5 contributed talks (10-15 mn each) on Cosmic Vision and Exploration missions. Some time may be kept for discussions, depending on the (still TBD) agenda of the session.
