The European Space Agency (ESA) is Europe’s gateway to space. Its mission is to shape the development of Europe’s space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world. ESA is an international organization with 22 member states. ESA’s largest activity line, the Earth Observation program, develops cutting-edge spaceborne technology and applications to further understand the planet and its environment and improve daily lives. Earth observation with satellites offers great multipurpose capabilities, including the analyses of urban areas, with high potential to inform and facilitate international development work in a consistent, detailed and independent manner.
