On this page, you can find an overview of the open Exploration Science research opportunities. These either consist of Continuously Open Research Announcements (CORAs) or ad-hoc and time-bound Announcements of Opportunities (AOs).
Past investigations can be found in the HRE Data Archive (HREDA) that collects information and data of investigations funded or co-funded by ESA’s Directorate for Human and Robotic Exploration (HRE) and performed on microgravity and ground-based facilities since 1972.
