摘要
欧洲于1987年在海牙召开的部长会议上决定开展一项欧洲长期航天计划,其目的是要在欧洲以往所取得的航天成就的基础上最大可能地利用空间。目前欧洲长期航天计划正在稳固发展,尤其是ESA的科学计划在某些方面已经接近美国的发展速度。 本文较详细地介绍了该计划的各项内容及其进展情况。
The European Space Agency (ESA) decided to endorse a European Long-Term Space Plan at the Ministerial Conference in the Hague in 1987. It is the aim of the Long-Term Plan to make the widest possible use of space on the basis of Europe's past achievements. Now the Long-Term Plan is developing steadily, especially the ESA Sci-ence Programme has been able to keep pace with the American in terms of the achieve-ments in some areas.The article describes in more detail the contents of the Long-Term Plan and their developments.
