Ministers support Europe in space A robotic mission to Mars and an Earth monitoring system are among the new activities to be funded in Europe's space programme over the next three to five years. Ministers from the 17 member states of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Canada meeting in Berlin on December 5 and 6 approved a €8.25bn programme, some 98% of the funding requested by the agency. Such meetings are held every two to three years to set Europe's space priorities.
