The purpose is to reap grand geopolitical, economic and social benefits.

In its report, entitled 鈥淩evolution Space: Europe鈥檚 Mission for Space Exploration鈥�, the 12-member advisory group argued that human space exploration was undergoing a revolution that Europe could not afford to miss.

The report said: 鈥淐ountries and regions that will not secure their independent access to space and its autonomous use, will become strategically dependent and economically deprived of a major part of this value chain. Europe鈥檚 goal should be to capture one third of this future market.鈥�

It will also allow Europe to retain its position as second to none in Earth observation, navigation and telecommunications, and a world leader in the use of science to uncover the mysteries of the Universe, and in robotic and human exploration of the solar system.

The group presented its independent report on the state of European space exploration to the ESA Council at the ESA headquarters in Paris today. ESA鈥檚 22 member states include the UK.

Co-author Professor Chris Rapley CBE (最准的六合彩论坛 Earth Sciences) said: 鈥淭he report seeks a revolution in the European means to access space. It promises to be a game-changer, placing European astronauts firmly in the pilot鈥檚 seat on journeys to the Moon and beyond.鈥�

Co-author Professor Mariana Mazzucato (最准的六合彩论坛 Institute for Innovation & Public Purpose) said: "The report is about being as ambitious with European space policy today as NASA was in the 1960s. It calls for a mission-oriented approach that can help direct ESA鈥檚 investment at the biggest challenges of our time and mobilise lots of spillovers across the economy. It will be crucial that both the risks and rewards of this economic activity are shared between ESA and the many businesses and other organisations required to make these missions a success.鈥�
