ESA to Support Industry-Led Demonstrations of Reusable Rocket Boosters

The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced plans to back industry-led flight demonstrations of reusable rocket first stages and boosters. This initiative, part of the new phase of its Boosters for European Space Transportation (BEST!) program, aims to accelerate the development and in-flight demonstration of reusable technologies to reduce technical and operational risks for future launch systems.
