Thank you to everyone who visited our stand at #NAM2025 🌌 It's been an inspiring week of connecting with the astronomy community and sharing our mission to increase access to space-based data 💫

Congratulations to Professor Jonathan Tennyson, Chair and Co-founder of Blue Skies Space, who received the Royal Astronomical Society's Gold Medal during the RAS Awards in Newcastle this week.

🛰️ Another big milestone for Mauve! C3S has successfully completed the satellite’s environmental test campaign. Mauve is now one step closer to launch aboard SpaceX's Transporter-15 in October. 🚀 Read more: bssl.space/mauve-complete…

Blue Skies Space and C3S LLC welcomed Marko Curavić, the Head of Unit for Space Research at HaDEA, to inspect the completed Mauve satellite. 🛰️ Thank you to the European Commission for its continued support of the Mauve project. Read more: bssl.space/european-commi…

"Mauve demonstrates powerfully that scientific excellence knows no borders." 🌍 Thank you to HaDEA for featuring Mauve in this article: hadea.ec.europa.eu/news/meet-mauv…

We presented Mauve and Twinkle at the First Annual Science Meeting of the Earth 2.0 (ET) Space Mission in Shanghai 🇨🇳 and explored the potential synergies between the satellites. Thank you to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for hosting us!

Mauve is featured in the latest edition of the Europlanet Magazine (Europlanet 🇪🇺), which explores academia-industry partnerships, early-career stories, and updates from the planetary science community. Read it here: europlanet.org/europlanet-mag…

A warm welcome to Maynooth University 🇮🇪 as they join the Mauve science programme! ✨ Led by Associate Prof. Dr Emma Whelan, the team will investigate intermediate-mass star formation and seek new insights through Mauve's monitoring capabilities. Read more: bssl.space/maynooth-unive…

We've joined the Mauve Science Programme! This collaboration is led by our very own Dr Emma Whelan here at #MUPhysics. Watch this space for some fascinating research and an insight into how stars are formed! Check out the details below ✨

After arriving in the U.S., the Mauve satellite has been integrated into its deployment pod. The pod will next be transported to the launch site for integration with the launcher. 🚀

"Small satellites like Mauve, built with commercial-off-the-shelf components, can deliver significant science data affordably and flexibly." We are proud to see Mauve featured on the cover of Royal Astronomical Society's October edition of Astronomy & Geophysics! 🔗academic.oup.com/astrogeo/artic…

The world's first commercial astronomy space telescope will look for stars that may host habitable exoplanets. space.com/astronomy/exop…

Blue Skies Space will sell data from its tiny, low-cost UV telescope. scim.ag/3LkKgIm

It’s almost time! Mauve, our first satellite, launches soon with SpaceX on Transporter-15! Learn more: bssl.space/mauve

Countdown begins! ⏳ Mauve launches on Transporter-15 from California on 11 November. The 57-minute launch window opens at 18:18 GMT. Let’s go to space! 🚀

SpaceX is targeting no earlier than Wednesday, November 19, for the launch of Transporter-15. For launch updates, please check: spacex.com/launches/trans…

A new space telescope with Irish scientific involvement will soon begin operations on a mission to study how stars form and evolve, writes Dr Emma Whelan of the Department of Physics and MU's lead on the project. maynoothuniversity.ie/research/spotl…
