Into space : EU space research : space research projects under the 7th framework programme for research (6th call)

The 6th, and last, FP7 Space research brochure - through the presentation of 58 projects divided into 4 categories: Copernicus-related Applications and Data; Space Technologies; Space Science and Data Exploitation; Space Weather and Space Situational Awareness - presents Europe's efforts to utilise space technology and space-based capabilities to serve the needs of the civil society. Many of these projects also help to strengthen the competitiveness of the European industry and support the leading position of Europe's scientific community in the space field. This overview is expected to be followed by a publication presenting the space projects funded under the 1st call for proposals of the Horizon 2020.
