The European Space Agency (ESA) has released its "Voyage 2040" vision, outlining its ambitious roadmap for space exploration by the year 2040. The plan focuses on establishing a European presence in the solar system and developing advanced technologies to achieve these goals.
A key objective is the development of "space habitats" for safe space travel, including on the Moon and Mars. These habitats will be designed with advanced technologies to ensure self-sufficiency, minimizing the need for Earth-based resources.
ESA is also focusing on developing technologies for challenging space missions, such as those related to the exploration of Mars. The agency emphasizes the importance of "resource modules" to ensure the safety of space missions. This plan reinforces ESA's commitment to enhancing its capabilities in space exploration, with a focus on technological advancements and a sustained European presence in space by 2040.
