Technology Development Activities required for future Science missions are captured in the Science Programme Technology Development Plan, which is a joint work plan covering all Core Technology Programme (CTP) and Technology Research Programme (TRP) funded activities. The plan contains the description of each activity required for the technological preparation of the L-class and M-class missions in the Science Programme. Critical mission-enabling technologies that are generically applicable to several possible future science missions are also addressed. The plan is updated on a regular basis to reflect the progress of activities, the outcome of assessment studies and the overall evolution of the Science Programme.
