ESA highlights 2018

ESA can look back at a fulfilling year. It has been a year marked by new Earth Observation missions to analyse and protect our planet, in particular the completion of the first wave of Copernicus Sentinel satellites and the launch of Aeolus. Galileo also reached an important milestone - there are now 26 satellites in orbit. Other achievements include the October launch of BepiColombo, the ESA-JAXA mission to study Mercury, and the almost continuous presence of ESA astronauts on the International Space Station.

2018 was a great year for space exploration. Not just for Europe, but for the whole mankind.

Talvez um expoente para as palavras ...2018 foi uma ano de vários projectos...Um ano em cheio para a ESA!! Que coisas grandes e raras haverá que ver nestas missões de novos descobrimentos??

That Ariane V has been a magnificent workhorse for so many years now.
I hope it will work it's way into the new generation of reusable rockets soon.

Absolutely a fantastic year. I wish by end of next year we get the picture of the black hole.
