ESA's Explore2040 is a refined European exploration strategy. At the core of the strategy is a bold vision to establish continuous, sustainable, and responsible human and robotic exploration of the Solar System by providing unique contributions and benefiting society. Explore2040 firmly asserts science, the economy, cooperation, and inspiration as primary strategic drivers for Europe's continued exploration efforts. The refined strategy puts exploration into a wider perspective, serving ESA's 2040 vision and underlying the close links between space transportation, critical space-based infrastructure and related terrestrial applications and science. In this talk we will present Explore2040 and provide examples of on-going and future efforts to implement the strategy.
