Lunar mysteries await beyond this gate... 👀🚪 ⏰ The countdown has begun for LUNA's grand unveiling tomorrow – Europe’s #MoonOnEarth. 🌑 What secrets will be revealed? Stay tuned!

📽️#HeraMission, @ESA's first Planetary Defence spacecraft is nearing launch. Hera will probe the lingering mysteries of a unique asteroid - the sole body in our Solar System to have had its orbit shifted by human action esa.int/ESA_Multimedia…

Today I got the chance to see two satellites currently at Thales Alenia facilities in Cannes: Copernicus Sentinel-1C and CO2M. Both missions will play a specific role in the Copernicus family🛰️🛰️

The Moon is at our doorstep🌑 The ESA-DLR #LUNA facility, inaugurated today in Cologne 🇩🇪, mimics the lunar surface and will help Europe maintain its leading position in exploration, a prerequisite for international space cooperation. The Moon: the protagonist of both past and

Devastating floods in parts of #Spain after year's worth of rain fell in less than 24 hours. The animation below from #MTGI1 clearly shows large thunderstorms with strong lightning activity, causing exceptional rainfall and flash floods between 00:00 UTC yesterday - 10:00 today.

FLIGHT VV25: LAUNCH POSTPONEMENT (1/2) Due to the need to conduct further precautionary checks and activities on launcher preparation and finalization, the VV25 launch, originally scheduled for December 3, 2024, from Europe’s Spaceport, in Kourou, French Guiana, is postponed.

FLIGHT VV25: LAUNCH POSTPONEMENT (2/2) The impact of these add checks is today estimated in the range of one day. The new launch date will be confirmed by Friday November 29. The launcher and its passenger, the Copernicus Sentinel-1C satellite, are in stable and safe conditions.

FLIGHT VV25 NOW SCHEDULED ON DEC. 4 (1/2) New launch date for Copernicus Sentinel-1C The additional checks & activities on Flight VV25 Vega C launcher are now completed, authorizing a new launch attempt by Arianespace on Dec. 4 at 6:20pm Kourou time (9:20pm UTC, 10:20pm CEST).

FLIGHT VV25 NOW SCHEDULED ON DEC. 4, 2024 (2/2) New launch date for Copernicus Sentinel-1C The launcher and its passenger the Copernicus Sentinel-1C satellite are in stable and safe conditions.

Watch the return to flight of our Vega-C rocket taking Earth observer #Sentinel1-C to orbit. ▶️ Programme starts 4 December 22:00 CET (21:00 GMT) 🚀 Liftoff at 22:20 CET (21:20 GMT) 🛰️Sentinel-1C orbital delivery 5 December 00:04 (4 December 23:04 GMT) 📡Acquisition of signal

🚀 Our Vega-C rocket is returning to flight tonight! Our launcher will take Copernicus EU #Sentinel1 C to space. The mission is the next in a series with advanced radar technology to provide an all-weather, day-and-night supply of imagery of Earth’s surface to benefit society.

FLIGHT VV25: POSTPONEMENT OF THE LAUNCH (1/2) Due to a mechanical issue preventing the withdrawal of the mobile gantry, the launch chronology has been stopped. The earliest targeted launch date is planned for tomorrow Thursday 5 Dec. at 6:20 p.m. (Kourou time , 9:20 p.m. UTC).

LIFTOFF of Copernicus EU #Sentinel1 C on Vega-C's return to flight from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana on 5 December 2024!

#VV25 Successful separation of Sentinel-1C satellite! Vega C has successfully placed its passenger, the Copernicus EU #Sentinel1 C satellite, into Sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 700km. Spacecraft separation occurred 1 hour 43 minutes after lift-off. European Space Agency 🇪🇺 EU Defence and Space

Fantastic. What a day for Europe and our collaborators! First, successful launch of #Proba3 with ISRO colleagues; next, return to flight for Vega C. Congratulations to all our teams ESA Earth Observation ESA Technology ESA Operations ESA Science . Looking forward to launching ESA_Smile !

One moment combined two great European achievements today: the third launch of a Sentinel-1 satellite and the third launch of Vega-C, marking a triumphant return to form for both flagship European projects. It was exciting and touching to see the mix of the European launcher and
