La ESA seguirá colaborando con varias instituciones valencianas hasta 2020
// Instituto de la Ingeniería de España
La Agencia Espacial Europea (ESA) y el Consorcio Espacial Valenciano (VSC), formado entre otros por la Universitat Politècnica de València y la Universitat de València, han ampliado su contrato de colaboración, mediante el que gestionan dos laboratorios especializados en tecnologías espacial, hasta 2020.
La Agencia Espacial Europea (ESA) y el Consorcio Espacial Valenciano (VSC), formado por la Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), la Universitat de València (UV), la Generalitat Valenciana y el Ayuntamiento de Valencia, han extendido el contrato de colaboración existente entre ambas entidades hasta 2020.
La alianza entre la ESA y el Consorcio Espacial Valenciano, recuerda la UPV en una nota de prensa, comenzó en marzo de 2010, cuando ambas entidades firmaron un contrato para la gestión conjunta del Laboratorio Europeo de Alta Potencia en Radiofrecuencia. Este laboratorio está especializado en ciertos fenómenos que pueden afectar a las comunicaciones y al correcto funcionamiento de los satélites.
Dos años después, en julio de 2012, se inauguró el segundo laboratorio fruto de la colaboración ESA-VSC, el Laboratorio Europeo de Materiales de Alta Potencia para Espacio, situado en la UV y especializado en la investigación de materiales novedosos y el tratamiento de superficies que permitan mejorar la potencia de radiofrecuencia que se transmite desde los satélites.
Desde 2010 se ha dado apoyo a misiones de la Agencia Espacial Europea de gran relevancia, como Galileo, Biomass, Sentinel, Alphasat y Bepi Colombo, entre otras. Además, se ha realizado un gran número de campañas de ensayos a la industria espacial mundial.

2 June 2014 Feature story
Conducted 30 May during the long holiday weekend in France, this historic event was photographed and filmed – with the resulting material to be used to mark the Beluga's upcoming 20th anniversary in September.
The Beluga and Patrouille de France aircraft were in town for the Airexpo air show held in nearby Muret, France. Because they cannot fly together at air shows for security reasons, both teams agreed to perform the milestone formation flight the day before Airexpo's opening.
"Since there are many Beluga pilots who are former military airmen, we have a special relationship with our colleagues who are still serving today," said Didier Gros, head of Beluga's flight crews.
"Not only that, but we also share the pride and honour of flying iconic aircraft," added François Cantin, head of Beluga's flight operations. "When we learned that we would all be at the Muret air show, we knew that this was an opportunity that we could not miss."
The Beluga – which is managed by Airbus subsidiary ATI – has a fleet of five aircraft that plays a vital role in ensuring the ramp-up of several Airbus programmes.
Founded in 1931, Patrouille de France is the French Air Force's precision aerobatic demonstration team, flying Dassault-Breguet/Dornier Alpha Jets.
