.JAXA(Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency)'s SLIM mission will attempt a soft landing on the Moon today. 🌖🇯🇵 📺Watch the live stream of the landing from 2:00pm 👇

BREAKING: The SLIM has landed on the moon after a numbing "20 minutes of terror" - but there are no signs of celebration. Japan is now the the fifth country to land on the moon, after the United States, Russia, China and India. trib.al/v58eWmL 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube

A pleasure to speak with SpaceCareers.uk on how I've ended up working for Telespazio Germany flying spacecraft at ESOC! ( Telespazio Germany, ESA Operations)

The earth was never meant to be a cemetary. It’s a cradle, not a mass grave circling a dead sun.

China launching it's next Lunar lander "Chang'e 6" in an hour - aiming to be the first mission to return a sample from the far side of moon and bringing along Pakistan's first Lunar orbiter with it too. Exciting pre-cursor to the first Mars sample return!

"A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor" Hasn't fallen on my desk this time, but some very interesting corridor conversions. Certainly lost some margin... Glad the wider community/public is being kept informed.

Interesting discussions last week at SG[France] in Lyon. Was a pleasure to join the 'Sustainability of Space Operations' working group; another great SGAC event!

Incredible! Congratulations to the Chinese National Space Agency on the remarkable success of Chang’e-6 mission thus far. It's a wonderful accomplishment that ESA is thankful and proud to have a part in by contributing the NILS (Negative Ions on Lunar Surface) instrument and by

This is the first photo I think I've ever seen that shows the Milky Way with the face of a person looking out of their spacecraft. We live in an age of wonders

For reference: 900 tons is over 2x the mass of the ISS and makes up around 5% of all mass launched to orbit since 1957.

A busy but fun summer ahead, with the ESA's Juice mission LEGA in August, directly followed by the ESA's Hera mission launch in October! I'm also hoping to go outside at some point.

Wondering if, given the Zero Debris Charter, an Ariane 6 upper stage at 600km would require active removal... If so, I wonder which launcher they'd use for the removal mission 🤔 #Ariane6

Is it an asteroid? Is it a comet? No! It’s ESA's Juice mission! Juice was briefly mistaken for a new potentially hazardous asteroid as it races towards Earth for next week’s double flyby. Fortunately, experts have confirmed that Juice poses no risk to our planet😉 blogs.esa.int/rocketscience/…

Three days until the 'LEGA' double flyby. Eleven years since installing Kerbal Space Program. Let's hope something was learnt inbetween.

⚠️How to follow ESA's Juice mission making the world's first lunar-Earth flyby. Stay tuned! 👇

Bar none, THE hardest rocket footage I have ever seen. Normalize using FPV drones in aerospace.

Wonderful to see the progress of the Gruyere Space Program rocket hopper last week at Payerne Airport! Very impressive project and team 👏
