Several European space companies are gearing up for their inaugural rocket launches, a crucial phase akin to a startup's first product debut but with significant operational challenges and financial pressures. To support these companies during this period, ESA has allocated euro 44.22 million in co-funding, reinforcing its commitment to assist the space sector as it moves from development to re Arianespace to launch Exotrail's Spacevan on Ariane 6

Arianespace has secured a contract to launch Exotrail's spacevan, marking its first GEO mission as an auxiliary payload aboard the Ariane 64 configuration of the Ariane 6 launcher. The mission, set for the latter half of 2026, will depart from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. This version of Ariane 6, equipped with four solid boosters, will carry the spacevan into a Geostationary Transfer Or Astronauts found to process some tasks slower in space, but no signs of permanent cognitive decline

Space for Shore: Sentinel-1 reveals Arctic glacier retreat
Write a comment
As Arctic temperatures rise, marine-terminating glaciers—especially in places like Svalbard—are undergoing rapid retreat and intensified calving.
The ESA-funded Space for Shore project utilises radar data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission to provide precise, year-over-year insights into glacier retreat and calving intensity, particularly in areas like Kongsfjorden, where notable glaciers are experiencing significant retreat.
