After 26 missions, Electron is no stranger to low Earth orbit, but our next mission will see us launch much farther than usual. Learn more about the rocket launching #CAPSTONE to the Moon for NASA and Advanced Space.

The European Space Agency #moonlight made me think about whthr or not there's smth like the shielded zone on the #Moon RECOMMENDATION Int’l Telecommunication Union-R RA.479 protecting radio astronomy but for the visible spectrum protecting optical astronomy. Is there, Neil deGrasse Tyson Bill Nye UNOOSA International Astronomical Union (IAU) Sarafina El-Badry Nance, PhD?

Moon orbits can look wonky, depending where you watch from. This is a Halo Orbit, used this weekend by Rocket Lab's CAPSTONE bit.ly/39VGiTZ.

How we choose to settle the Moon, now, will establish how we explore and settle everywhere beyond. Pivotal moment in time. Please help fund a research fellow - thanks!

We’ve got “eyes” on #CAPSTONE! 🛰️ NASA's Eyes app will now let you visualize the spacecraft on its journey to the Moon in real time! Follow along, so you don’t miss a minute of this mission: go.nasa.gov/3OWgarB

MISSION UPDATE: After a successful first trajectory correction maneuver on July 7, the #CAPSTONE team is standing down from today's scheduled maneuver to perform additional analysis on the spacecraft and determine whether it is still needed at this time: go.nasa.gov/3ACAKJ7

Grand opening of DLR_de's Johannes Kepler Observatory! 🔭✨It houses the largest telescope of its kind in #Europe & will use cutting-edge laser technology to detect #spacedebris. The primary goal is to contribute to the safe use of #space: dlr.de/content/en/art…

Happily presenting our work at the Advanced Photonics Congress #APC22 #SPPCOM, Free-space optical com session, on the « Channel Model of a Ground to Satellite Optical Link Pre-Compensated by Adaptive Optics » 🛰 looking forward to meet you all and see you there !

#ICYMI: Last week Farnborough Airshow Airshow in the UK we highlighted our #5G/#6G Hub, project #Moonlight and much more. Read more about European Space Agency’s activities at #FIA22 here👉esa.int/About_Us/Exhib…

Watch the Artemis 1 launch live tomorrow. ⏰ 29 August 13.33 BST/14.33 CST Only one more day to go! #Artemis #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon esa.int/Science_Explor…

The #Artemis I mission will require both of NASA's communications networks to work together to enable a seamless mission. Different communications services will be needed as Orion Spacecraft leaves Earth, orbits the Moon, and returns safely home. go.nasa.gov/3An3GnV

During IAC Paris 2022, European Space Agency‘s DG Josef Aschbacher said during the Heads of Agencies Plenary that there will be more news about #ESAmoonlight on Monday. #iac2022 esa.int/Newsroom/Press… Elodie Viau ESA Connectivity and Secure Communications, ESA Earth Observation, ESA Operations

Bonjour Paris! Don‘t forget, today is our #IAC2022 presentation „AUTO-TDS: Enabling #laser communication networks to auto detect incoming links, securing connection & auto-routing the data“ in B2.5 at 10:45. Feel kindly invited to join us there. #hydron #scylight #moonlight #edrs

🌒 Apply before 28 Oct to the Moonlight Request for Information to show your interest in developing the #constellation of lunar satellites to guide #Moon #exploration and the relevant products or technologies👉bit.ly/3F7ahpr European Space Agency ESA Space Solutions ESA Operations ESA SME Initiative

We’re going back to the Moon and staying ! 🚀🌕 As we explore the moon further and establish a lunar economy, ESA Connectivity and Secure Communications will provide connectivity to lunar activities and exploration through our #Moonlight programme 🛰️ #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon

Handover complete! The Maria Cavero has handed over #Artemis comms to NASA's Deep Space Network! The NSN successfully enabled communications for Orion Spacecraft during launch and early ascent. Now, the DSN will support the spacecraft en route to and in orbit around the Moon.

Yesterday, Orion Spacecraft manoeuvred its solar arrays and captured the Moon as seen here with a camera mounted on the end of the array. The #Artemis I spacecraft is now over halfway to the Moon. NASA Artemis Airbus Space @AirbusDS_NL Beyond Gravity Human Spaceflight #OrionESM

Taken during the #Artemis I Moon flyby, the optical navigation camera aboard the Orion Spacecraft spacecraft closely captured stunning pics of craters on the Moon. 🌕 🔗 All pictures available here: flickr.com/photos/2998873…
