The ESA Bulletin is published four times a year to inform the space-interested public of ESA’s activities. In addition to a wide range of articles, every issue provides an overview of the status of ESA's major space projects. In this issue: Antarctica is just one of several 'space analogues', or environments that can be used to mimic elements of spaceflight on Earth. In 'Home Alone', we look at history of these studies and how ESA is using these environments to prepare its astronauts and trainers for the real thing. Celebrating 50 years of bringing space missions to life, 'ESTEC: ESA's Technical Heart' looks at the planning and development of the facility itself, which began in earnest on 1 January 1963. From designs drawn up in a garden house in Delft 50 years ago, ESTEC has become not only ESA's space hub, but also an essential part of the local economy and the Dutch knowledge and innovation infrastructure. We celebrate one of our most successful science missions in 'Int

Sentinel-3 is a multi-instrument mission developed by ESA within the European Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme. It is designed to ensure the long-term collection and operational delivery of high-quality measurements for GMES ocean, land, atmospheric, emergency and security services, including sea-surface topography, sea- and land-surface temperature, ocean colour and land products with high-end accuracy and operational reliability. This report presents the mission objectives, its implementation and the expected outputs to users.

Europe’s leadership in space science and Earth observation is underpinned by years – sometimes decades – of technology research and development to perfect new instruments and techniques to perceive the cosmos or our own planet in unprecedented ways. Maintaining this R&D effort is all the more important as new competition arises around the world – Europe has to stay smarter where it cannot be cheaper. ESA’s far-reaching R&D work primes the pump of the wider European space sector.
