European Space Agency (ESA)

ESA (European Space Agency) is an intergovernmental organization dedicated to the exploration of space. Established in 1975, ESA represents multiple European countries working together to advance space technology and scientific understanding. The agency conducts a wide range of activities, including Earth observation, planetary exploration, and space science research, and collaborates with international partners such as NASA and Roscosmos.

Fun fact: ESA's Rosetta mission was the first to successfully land a probe, Philae, on a comet's surface in 2014, providing groundbreaking data about comet composition and behavior!
