A Cooperative U.S.-European Space Projects
Tables A.1 through A.3, although fairly comprehensive, substantially understate the amount of cooperation in space projects that has taken place between Europe and the United States.1 This is because the tables do the following:
Indicate none of the many principal investigator (PI)–coinvestigator collaborations that have been established in both directions across the Atlantic;
Include no sounding rocket, balloon-borne, or aircraft-based experiments, which have been extensive with some countries;
Present no data sharing arrangements, for example, between two principal investigators flying scientific instruments on the same or different spacecraft;
Include no ground-based activity, such as the prearranged readout of scientific data by one country or institution of another's satellite data or the acceptance by one country of principal investigator/research investigations from another country to use data provided by the first Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS, now Landsat);
Present no cooperation in technology or applications development, for example, on heat pipes (Shuttle Palette Satellite [SPAS]-01), spacecraft electrostatic charging and discharging (EOIM—Evaluation of Oxygen Interaction with Materials), Search and Rescue Satellites (COSPAS-SARSAT), or tether satellite experiments;
Indicate none of the cooperative strategic-level planning and more detailed coordination that goes on between and among research organizations in all three discipline areas—for example, to indicate only one of many, through CEOS (Committee on Earth Observation Satellites); or
Include no observing time on one another's astronomy satellites (U.S. responses to the European Space Agency [ESA] Announcements of Opportunity [AOs]; European responses to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA] Aos).
