The call supports research in the areas of space science and exploration (EUR 58 million) with a view to exploring neighbouring planets, and Earth observation (EUR 47 million) through the continued development of Europe's Global Monitoring system for Environment and Security (GMES). The call also aims at enhancing Europe's cooperation with other major space powers, taking the form of support for cross cutting activities with a budget of EUR 8 million.
