Frank De Winne discussed in the second presentation the 3 year outlook of ESA (Space 19+) with focus on getting to the Moon by 2024. A little was talked about getting to Mars as there is still a lot work to be done. He gave the example of the very complex program of sampling 300grams of Mars soil and bringing it to Earth. The Space19+ enveloppe program will be discussed end of 2019 by the EU in order to get approval.
