Programme for Reusable In-orbit Demonstrator in Europe
The Programme for Reusable In-orbit Demonstrator in Europe (PRIDE) is a European Space Agency (ESA) programme that aims to develop a reusable robotic spacecraft. PRIDE was approved at the ESA Ministerial Council in Naples, Italy on November 21, 2012. PRIDE spaceplane will be similar to, but smaller and cheaper than, the Boeing X-37. It will be launched by the Vega light rocket, operate robotically in orbit, and land automatically on a runway.
== History ==
PRIDE was initially funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) on November 21, 2012, at the ESA Ministerial Council in Naples, Italy. The project was created with the objective of creating a small unmanned spaceplane that was also affordable and reusable. During the initial design stage the vehicle was referred to as PRIDE-ISV. The suffix ISV stands for ''Innovative Space Vehicle''.〔 It is projected that from September 2015, the PRIDE development team will begin industrial activities. In December 2015 a ministerial-level meeting will make a decision regarding the funding for the project as around is required to finalize the project, excluding launch costs. If funding is successful, the first launch is expected around 2020.
The European Space Agency has developed two test vehicles: the Atmospheric Reentry Demonstrator (launched in 1998), and the Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV, launched on 11 February 2015 〔http://www.space.com/28520-europe-launches-mini-shuttle-ixv.html〕 and with a second launch planned for 2019 or 2020).
