Every space mission begins long before launch day.
Ideas become spacecraft. Thousands of decisions are made before a single engine ignites. The European Space Agency (ESA) knows what that journey looks like.
As the agency prepares to increase the missions it supports by 2030, it is laying the groundwork for decades of future exploration.
Working with Canonical, ESA is building a common platform for mission operations based on open source. Kubernetes, Ceph, PostgreSQL, and Kafka form ESA’s infrastructure foundation.
