Cosmic Vision (also known as Cosmic Vision 2015–2025) is an European Space Agency (ESA) long-term space science missions programme spanning between years 2015 and 2025, a successor to the Horizon 2000 long-term scientific programme. == History == The initial call of ideas and concepts was launched in 2004 with a subsequent workshop held in Paris to define more fully the themes of the Vision under the broader headings of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Solar System Exploration and Fundamental Physics. By early 2006 the formulation for a 10-year plan based around 4 key questions emerged: * What are the conditions for planet formation and the emergence of life? * How does the Solar System work? * What are the fundamental physical laws of the Universe? * How did the Universe originate and what is it made of? In March 2007 a call for mission ideas was formally released, which yielded in 19 astrophysics, 12 fundamental physics and 19 Solar System mission proposals. In March 2012 ESA announced it had begun working on a series of small class science missions. The first winning "S-Class" idea is set to receive 50 million euros (£42m) and will be readied for launch in 2017. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cosmic Vision」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
