French National Space Research Nicole Desikata, director of the Center, recently said that space technology will be integrated into every aspect of people's lives, and ground observations will be to ensure an important means for human beings to have a future.

In the recently held a cabinet meeting on the French Government, which was appointed the third Desikata National Space Research Center, a term of 5 years. He said in a media interview, the space is the future of mankind, the use of space to protect the Earth is playing an increasingly important role. Human beings should be in the next 10 years or 20 years to enter all the appropriate deployment of satellites in near-earth orbit satellites, these satellites will use its carry all kinds of equipment to detect the changes on the earth, the relevant data can help people understand the Earth, establishing a research and model of resources and climate change monitoring and control.

Desikata said that in the past 10 years, human navigation and positioning, and space environmental monitoring on the ground have made rapid progress in the future, but also in ensuring high-speed satellite Internet access and detection of atmospheric carbon dioxide has played an important role. In his view, in order to ensure that these expectations are fulfilled, must develop cheaper space launch vehicles, the French National Space Research Center, responsible for the development of "Ariane-6" rocket with similar products in other countries may encounter stiff competition.

He also noted that in 2010 the French aerospace industry is extremely busy year, this year, France will launch seven "Ariane" rocket to participate in launching a Russian "alliance" rockets, in addition to several satellites will be France party into orbit, to detect the sun, the Earth's atmosphere and oceans.
