ESA Publications 1975–2010
This is a collection of past publications from ESA. This collection is a work in progress and more publications will be added over time. All publications are downloadable PDFs. Many documents have been scanned from old copies and the quality is therefore variable.
Publications since 2010 (as well as many of the older ones) may be found on the separate pages for brochures, monographs, etc..
Categories
Monographs
The SP-xxxx series of monographs (known as 4-digit SPs) consists primarily of scientific and technical books giving detailed information on ESA’s missions, activities and interests. They are authored by highly-respected experts in their fields. The series also covers other substantial content such as historical books.
Brochures
The BR series of brochures highlights specific missions and programmes in non-technical terms for the space-interested public and the media. For a more complete collection of BRs, see the brochures archive.
