The Return on Investment of the European Space Agency (ESA)

For every pound we invest, we see a return on investment of about £11. UK Government wouldn't put this money into the European Space Agency if there wasn't a good case for doing so. The science that we get from the International Space Station helps us better understand how we age and develop new drugs. In the Artemis programme, we'll be studying the Moon. We're interested in the South Pole because there's lots of areas there that are permanently shaded due to the way the Moon sits relating to the Sun.
