ESA to launch two missions on Falcon 9

Posted: Sun, Oct 23, 2022, 10:02 AM ET (1402 GMT)
ESA will launch two of its missions on SpaceX's Falcon 9. ESA announced Thursday that it will launch the Euclid astrophysics mission and the Hera astrophysics missions on Falcon 9 launches n 2023 and 2024, respectively. Euclid was to launch on a Soyuz, which is no longer available. ESA shifted Hera from an Ariane 6 because of delays in ramping up that launch vehicle. At next month's ministerial meeting, ESA will also decide on the future of ExoMars, which was to launch on a Proton. The preferred option is to launch it in 2028 on a European rocket after replacing the mission's Russian descent module.
