On 10 March 2016, the Association of the European Space Research Establishments ? ESRE ? was formally established as an International Organisation (AISBL). ESRE gathers the leading space research centers of CIRA (Italy), DLR (Germany), INTA (Spain), NLR (Netherlands) and ONERA (France).

World first. ONERA and the SHOM* have accomplished two gravity mapping campaigns off the coast of Brest. The atomic gravimeter designed and built at ONERA for marine use, provides an absolute measurement of the local gravity "g" with remarkable precision.

Join ONERA at JEC World 2016 composite trade fair, to be held at Paris Nord Villepinte on 8, 9 & 10 March 2016.

Building on their historic partnership in space research, CNES and ONERA, the French aeronautics, space and defence research laboratory, are joining forces to address new challenges in the field of launchers and satellites.

The 10th issue of AerospaceLab Journal, the ONERA International Journal, is on line.

TERRISCOPE is a research platform dedicated to airborne imagery for studying the environment and territories. TERRISCOPE is aimed at promoting the emergence of new services, especially from the drone line. Its development has started in January 2016 and will take 3 years.

At the Toulouse International Congress ERTS2 2016 (embedded real-time systems and software), ONERA and the company RTaW combined efforts to present a joint paper, developed within the framework of their collaboration agreement in the field of critical embedded systems.

DGAC continues to support ONERA in its research on understanding and modeling the physics of icing and its effects on the various components of an aircraft. An agreement was signed on December 14, 2015.

DGAC granted ONERA two refundable advances totaling 4.450 M? under very favorable terms, for significant upgrades to its main wind tunnels.
