Dear Colleague,
The Propulsion, Aerothermodynamics and Flight Vehicles Engineering Division (TEC-MP) of ESA is pleased to invite you to participate in the:
2026 Research and Development (R+D) Days
This event will take place at ESA-ESTEC, Noordwijk (NL) from 14th to 16th April 2026.
During this event, you will have the opportunity to be exposed to major outcomes and progress of research and development activities at TEC-MP. In addition, you will have the opportunity to hear about potential technology development activities that will be proposed by the TEC-MP team for the new technology workplans.
A special keynote will also be delivered on the GSTP Resilient Europe and Space Programme.
All will be in short-form presentations, followed by Q&A sessions. Additionally, surveys will be conducted afterwards to allow to collect any additional feedback and ideas you might have. The output of this event will be used to compose an input for the upcoming TEC-MP R+D Roadmaps.
The topics of interest which will be presented are:
-
Towards Greener Propulsion
-
Advanced Propulsion Systems
-
High Performance and Industrialisation of Electric Propulsion
-
Disruptive Electric Propulsion
-
Components for Propulsion Systems
-
Sensors and Measurements Techniques
-
Architecture and Technology Assessment for New Space Transportation Vehicles, Reusability and Re-entry
-
Fluid Dynamics Tools and Techniques, Flight Data Analysis Tools
-
Technologies for Space Logistics and In-Orbit Servicing
-
In-Orbit Demonstrators for Propulsion, Aerothermodynamics and Flight Vehicles Engineering
-
Ground Testing Facilities for Fluid Dynamics, Propulsion and Flight Vehicles Engineering
Registration is free of charge, however the workshop is open to industries (suppliers and users), investors (public and private), research institutes/centres and National Agencies from ESA member states and cooperating states. Please note that only corporate email addresses and phone numbers originating from ESA Member or Associate States are accepted.
Please note that registrations (REGISTRATION section) will remain open until the 3rd April at 11:59 PM (CET).
We look forward to seeing you at the R+D days of the TEC-MP Division!
