A look back at the highlights of these past months for Europe in Space. 2015 indeed was a very busy year with many missions and achievements for ESA, and 2016 is also busy and exciting, a 'Martian year' in particular with the ExoMars launch last March and with the landing of its descent module in October on the surface of the red planet.

Next September will see the end of the Rosetta quest around its comet. And all the other areas from Human spaceflight to Earth Observation, Navigation and Telecom are on the agenda.
