Table of contents
The last edition of the European Space Directory is available from ESD Partners' Paris office.
As usual, it has been compiled and published under the patronage of Eurospace and with the technical assistance of ESA. Both organisations have been keeping us well informed and supporting us in our endeavour to provide as complete and accurate data as possible.
This edition has five major sections giving a variety of information on the Space Industry in Europe. Companies from ESA countries still form the core of the Directory.

Minimum Listing
In addition to the company profiles, the EUROPEAN SPACE DIRECTORY offers nearly 100 listings with their names, addresses, phone and fax numbers, e-mail and website addresses, a contact person and a few lines on space related activities. This section was conceived as an opportunity for institutions and university institutes with limited funds, for small space companies with restricted budgets or others with marginal space activities to allow them to have their entry in the Directory nevertheless.
Who's Who
Names and positions of key personnel and decision-makers are listed here. For organisational reasons, only names from full profile entries are taken into account. Contact persons of companies featuring with a Minimum Listing are to be referred to their listing directly.
Buyer's Guide
The aim of the Buyer's Guide is to enable the users of the Directory to find companies and institutions specialising in various fields of activities and offering different types of space products and services.
