Abstract: | This is an abridged and edited version of the second report of ESA's Long-Term Space Policy Committee, published in May 1999. Emphasizing the importance of space-based technologies to so many earthly activities, it argues that only greater European involvement in the field will ensure that the continent remains an autonomous and significant player in world affairs and illustrates this by proposing space solutions to three major challenges for the future. The report's action plan for making use of these solutions is summarized and the consequences of failing to act are spelled out using the historical example of China. |
