La Pologne signe un plan de coopération avec l'ESA

Si j'ai bien traduit, on dirait qu'un petit nouveau s'ajoute a la liste des partenaire de l'ESA, la Pologne, il se positionne en numero 4 des contributeurs


By signing the Charter, Poland now becomes the fourth European country to subscribe to PECS. Hungary signed the Charter in November 2003, the Czech Republic in November 2004 and Romania in February 2007.

Poland has a long-standing tradition in space activities. Its institutions have participated as co-investigators in many ESA science projects, including Ulysses, ISO (archive data), SOHO, XMM, Cluster; Double Star, Huygens, Mars Express, Herschel (hardware for the HIFI instrument), Planck, XEUS, Integral, Rosetta and BepiColombo. Polish researchers were also involved in developing the instruments for the ExoMars rover.


Initially the PECS Charter will allow Poland to take part in ESA's space science, human spaceflight, navigation, telecommunication, and technology research and development programmes for a five-year period.

Je ne pense pas que la Pologne soit devenue membre à part entière de l'ESA. Elle participe par contre au PECS (?).

Alors, pour ceux qui comme moi ne savaient pas ce qu'est le PECS :

ESA a écrit:The Plan for European Cooperating States (PECS) is designed to help European countries, particularly those that joined the EU after 2004, to join ESA. At present, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Romania have signed a PECS Charter and Poland is scheduled to sign by April 2008.

En gros, c'est pour aider les nouveaux entrant de l'UE après 2004 à devenir membre de l'ESA !

Vivement que l'ESA devienne une agence européenne à part entière (restera dans ce cas le problème des pays faisant partit de l'ESA mais pas de l'UE - qui a dit la Suisse :P)

C'est une période de fiançailles avec l'ESA en somme .... l'objectif final étant de devenir, à terme, membre à part entière. :esamour:

The five years spent under the PECS Charter enables a country to increase its knowledge of ESA and develop its space industry system, thus improving its chances of winning contracts. At the end of the five-year period ESA will assess the progress made and decide whether the country is ready to become a full member of ESA or whether another five-year plan should be drawn up.
