Bild: DLR/Thilo Kranz, CC-BY." src="http://www.dlr.de/blogs/en/ResourceImage.aspx?raid=261840">In <a href="http://www.dlr.de/blogs/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-5896/9578_read-602/">my last blog entry</a>, I referred to the preparations for the <a href="http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Ministerial_Council_2012/index.html">European Space Agency council meeting at ministerial level</a>, to be held in Naples and the key topics 'the future of ESA', 'launch systems' and 'utilisation of the International Space Station'.

One particularly important event is the upcoming ESA Council meeting at ministerial level, which will also take place in Naples, on 20 and 21 November 2012. This meeting is being built up as a directional decision-making session dealing with a range of open questions.
