One of the global space community's longest-running cooperative forums met in Europe earlier this month, highlighting ESA's leadership role in coordinating use of the radio waves without which no mission can succeed.
For decades, ESA has served as permanent executive secretary of the Space Frequency Coordination Group (SFCG), a little-known technical body charged with coordinating and managing the radio waves used for communication by all space-faring organisations.
For 32 years, the SFCG has worked to ensure that radio frequencies are wisely and fairly used - work that is far more important than the committee's arcane technical name would suggest.
