josef aschbacher is head of the european space agency and is determined to keep europe in the new spacehe financial squeeze facing governments. space is an integral part of society. our way of working only functions with satellites for telecom, for navigation, for earth observation, for weather forecasting, for many things. so, we need the satellites for our daily life. but on the other side, there's also an economic growth sector which is extremely large. and space is one of those which is expanding, as you, as everyone knows, very fast and, actually, much faster now than in the last two decades. so, yes, we cannot lose out. and therefore, we need to really participate strongly in this sector because i want to create opportunities for our companies in our member states to really participate in this, and also find new business opportunities, create new services, new information, new technology, which we are developing. and yes, this is money very well invested. the international space station has been part of that growth in activity. it's a partnership of 15 countries and is seen as a b

oh, sarah kendra was an astronomer working on the web telescope for the european space agency in baltimore, and i asked her whether it was all worth the effort. yes, web was absolutely worth the effort. it was a long road to get that. but the data that we're seeing on from the telescope, we're only one year into this mission. everything that comes back, it's just a tough day, k quality in depth in detail that we can see. and we're already seeing so many new things in different areas of the universe. and so we're really excited about the rest of the mission and very pleased where we are today. astronomy, as a science, you know, we don't, we don't work in a lab and like a chemist or biologist. so really for us to learn about the universe, we just have to look all around us. you know, the universe, in fact is a lot. so what we try to do is observe and record lights in as many different ways as we can at different wavelengths all the way from the radio to the x ray. so what we're seeing with web in the infrared is huge technological stepped forwards for that particular kind of life. and so it'

the next month the european space agency is set to launch its jupiter ic moon's explorer, it's goal istailed observations of the giant gas planet and its three large ocean bearing moons. and in october nasa will launch its psyche spacecraft, nasa says that mission will be a journey to a unique metal-rich asteroid orbiting the sun between mars and jupiter. and the spacex starship will conduct a lunar fly by with its deer moon project funded by a japanese billionaire. they will embark on a six-day mission flying on a single trajectory around the moon. >>> and finally this hour 2023 was welcome with hope for the future and breath-taking displays of sound and light. here is a look at some of the best and brightest new year's scenes . >> welcome to 2023 in sydney, australia. ♪ >> happy new year! >> an incredible site here in hong kong. this is the first time i've seen fireworks over the hong kong harbor in almost three years. wow, this really feels like a new beginning. happy new year! >> taiwan is reopening to the world after three years of pandemic. this is a democracy that is ready to sh

ready contribution so significant contributions not only as part of the european space agency program but also privately supplying nasa with, with various. ready materials and components, but not have a lot just yet. so this is the real game changer today. now, there will be a 1st on out of the u. k. you mentioned the launches, take place in other parts of the world. does go free, ready? put the u. k. the bit of a disadvantage? you, you very want to launch close this as possible to the equator, don't you? yes, that's correct. you want to be close to the equator and ideally yours won't be in a place where weather is likely to interfere. now the u. k doesn't particularly qualify on those 2 accounts that you get about that. so. ready ready and the way they can play up. ready so it is a little bit higher risk in that sense compared to say the. ready area and rockets when they, when they leave from french piano and when nasa ends up rockets from cape canaveral . but it's not to say. ready it's impossible, it is possible and hopefully we'll get the proof of that later today. all right, than
