Our team and mission

The DG Cabinet guarantees Member States access to the necessary information to support the decision making process and maintains the ESA archives for access, fruition and exploitation of its member states and its’s scientific community.

Since 2002, the Italian establishment of ESA, ESRIN in Frascati hosts the ESA Archives also referred as European Centre for Space Records (ECSR). The Centre preserves to date:

• 45 analogue collections;

• Around 3 million pages of records dating from 1964;

• A vast ESA photography collection.

ESA offers the possibility to have an internship in ESTEC working with the ESA Archives team. Working with us, you will contribute to value the content of the ESA Archives and to make them accessible for internal users. The proposed project focuses on the preparation of specific inventories of series in the ESA Archives using the methodology and electronic tools adopted to valorise the ESA space records legacy.
