Title: International Workshop On Creating New and Sustainable Space Exploration


1
The French Space Exploration Programme
  • Plenary session
  • presented by Stephane Janichewski, Director for
    Strategy and Programmes

2
CNES RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND EUROPEAN POLICY
ISSUES
  • CNES has redefined organization and ambitions.
  • European Union is about to acquire a shared
    competence in space
  • more political legitimacy and visibility to
    European space policy,
  • specific resources may complement ESA budgets in
    the 2007-2013 time frame.

3
CNES WELCOMES THE US INITIATIVE FOR SPACE
EXPLORATION
  • A challenging opportunity
  • to develop new, ambitious, scientific and
    technological programmes,
  • to pursue cooperation with US and other space
    powers on a fresh basis,
  • to valorize European public and private
    competences.

4
EXPLORATION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM AN AMBITIOUS
INTERNATIONAL ENDEAVOR
  • at the European level
  • ESA with AURORA programme initiative, for robotic
    enabling technologies and missions,
  • European Union if a political initiative could be
    taken in a mid-term period.
  • at the international level
  • United States, Russia, Japan, India, China

5
CNES VIEWS ON INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATION
  • multilateral and bilateral approaches
  • France, as a major ESA and EU member state, to
    contribute to an European response,
  • CNES to conduct bilateral projects in cooperation
    with partners, either to prepare technical
    solutions or to deliver multilaterally agreed
    building blocks.

6
CNES SCIENTIFIC SOLAR SYSTEM EXPLORATION PROGRAMME
  • ESAs mandatory scientific programme is the core
    and top priority in space sciences (CNES
    contribution development of on board
    instruments).
  • ESA exploration must have also a scientific
    content.
  • Bilateral cooperations on original and focused
    scientific goals with US, Russia, Japan, India,
    China to complement the European participation.
  • National activities on the scientific programme
    minisatellites, microsatellites, balloons.

7
SCIENTIFIC PROSPECTIVE
  • First priority the exploration of Mars by
    automatic missions (orbital studies, in situ
    science, network science implementation, Mars
    sample return missions).
  • Second Priority a Near Earth Object rendez-vous
    mission (asteroid).
  • Other topics the Moon, science priority
    considered low, possible opportunity
    contributions.

8
CNES AND HUMAN SPACEFLIGHTS
20 years of CNES experience from Saliout, MIR,
Shuttles to ISS. A major contribution to the ESA
programmes (ISS development and exploitation
phases, and ISS utilization). The past 9 French
astronauts, 16 flights in cooperation to
contribute to the progress in life and physical
sciences and improve the knowledge on flights
(training, system management and control,
operations). The present pursue the scientific
and technological utilization of ISS through the
development of specific hardware (Cardiomed,
Declic,.). The future priority to manage ISS
utilization to have the best scientific return on
investment, through fulfilment of all partners
obligations.
9
CNES VIEWS FOR EXPLORATION BEYOND ISS
  • Europe should play an important role.
  • On the mid-term, robotic exploration is the most
    valuable and affordable for Europe.
  • Europe and France will invest in the human
    spaceflight related technologies, to be ready for
    human exploration on the long term.
  • Cooperation to provide autonomy to the partners
    and to allow interoperability of systems or
    multilaterally agreed building blocks approach.

10
INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION A MODEL BASED ON
  • Long term involvement
  • Clear mutual understanding
  • Coordination
  • Autonomy of decision
  • Segmentation of the whole architecture
  • Robustness
  • Flexibility in implementation

11
Conclusion
  • Exploration could be part of a new European
    ambition.
  • National agencies, ESA and EU will work for a
    coherent European approach to establish
    cooperation with partners.
  • CNES, based on its long cooperation experience
    with the US, Russia as well as India and Japan
    would be happy to join the future multilateral
    cooperation to implement the exploration of the
    solar system.
