Rapid development and delivery requirements.Missions of opportunity are likely to be characterised by: Missions of opportunity will usually be realised through cooperative agreements between ESA and a partner but may also result from commercial procurement of flight opportunities from commercial suppliers. An opportunity to have a cubesat, which performs stand-alone scientific operations, delivered into lunar orbit by a commercial supplier, who also provides a communications and operations support service.An opportunity to access and perform research on a sample returned by an international partner’s mission, which is enabled through an agreement between ESA and the international partner.The contribution to the payload enables involvement in the science planning and operations and preferential access to data for exploitation. At the surface the payload is operated in line with the international partner’s science operations plan. An opportunity to contribute European elements to a payload which is led by an international partner and flown on that partner’s mission to a lunar polar landing site.An opportunity to provide a complete payload of up to 10kg on a private lunar lander mission to a near side lunar location and to operate that payload for a given period of time, with a given allocation of power and data resources.
Missions of Opportunity are those where an international or commercial partner has presented an opportunity to: Directed missions, where European payloads are contributed to missions which are defined and driven by ESA, alone or with international partners, to achieve a predefined set of objectives.Missions of Opportunity, where European payloads respond to flight opportunities made available by the private sector or international partners.The implementation of this campaign - within the framework of the European Space Exploration Envelope Programme (E3P) - is subject to decisions at the ESA Council Meeting at Ministerial level planned for December 2019. The European Space Agency (ESA) is preparing a possible lunar mission campaign envisaging robotic access to the Moon during the 2020's to prepare for future human missions.
