Stone Age sunscreen for Solar Orbiter
Knowing that Solar Orbiter will venture closer to the Sun than any previous ESA mission, it might seem odd that a spacecraft needing to endure an unprecedented level of sunlight ends up almost entirely black in colour. The reason why comes down to practicalities of thermal design... | | | Bendable Solar Cells

ESA’s vision for the
future of Europe in space, and an opportunity to direct Europe’s ‘next generation’ ambitions in space.
Technology will be the engine of this vision and the ESTMP constitutes a good atlas of what is being
envisaged... | | | NEWS FROM THE PATENT OFFICE | The odds are high that you have already interacted with one of ESA’s most-far-reaching inventions without realising it. Antenna engineer Peter de Maagt helped devise Terahertz security cameras – currently employed in 18 countries including many major airports and the LA Metro – scan passengers for concealed weapons or contraband in their clothing from up to 10 metres away, operating on an entirely passive, non-invasive basis.

of the septum blade is shaped with Legendre polynomials. A
performance comparison with a conventional septum polarizer
based on a blade with a stepped profile is performed at Kaband (27.5 – 30.0 GHz) to show the merit of the proposed
profile shaping... | | | | Suitable satellite gateway locations are scarce and maintaining a high number of gateways to improve the feeder-links leads to high costs.
