    Platforms for exploring Earth and beyond – Towards a smart and resilient ground segment

    15 – 16 April 2026 | ESA-ESOC | Darmstadt, Germany

    The 10th European Mission Operations Ground Segment Software & Architecture Workshop (ESAW)  is shaping up to be another exciting chapter in a long-running series that kicked off back in 2005. After the brilliant turnout at ESAW 2024, which brought together over 250 people and featured more than 40 speakers from top companies, institutions, and space agencies, ESAW 2026 looks set to be even bigger and better. It’ll be a fantastic place to swap ideas, check out the latest trends, and help shape the future of mission operations software and architecture.

    The event is hosted by the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) and backed by ESA’s Operations Directorate. Join us in 2026 and let us know how you are planning on meeting the demands of tomorrow to make ground segment platforms smarter and more resilient for missions around Earth or beyond.
