What happens before a rocket launch? 🚀 A lot, actually! Once the rocket parts arrive, teams begin to unpack, transport to the mobile gantry and assemble them. The payloads are placed inside the fairing, which is then moved to the top of the rocket body. The final checks make sure everything is clear for liftoff, and then it’s time to go! 📹 @europeanspaceagency 📸 ESA/AE/ @cnes_france | ESA - European Space Agency

For 40 years, ESA has been shaping the future in space. That continues as brand-new rockets are set to take flight: some reusable, carbon-neutral, hybrid, little, large, crewed, uncrewed, to Earth orbit and to deep space — the journey continues. 🔗 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAr_8cNL1nk | ESA - European Space Agency

Europe’s security starts in space 🛡️ From Galileo’s secure navigation signals to Italy’s dual-use IRIDE constellation, from independent access to space to new cyber defence capabilities in Belgium — we’re already proving that Europe can safeguard its critical space assets. Now we’re proposing to go further by building a long-term, resilient ‘system of systems’ — Earth observation, secure navigation, and communications — to support Europe’s security and defence from space.

Sound on to hear the call that sets a mission in motion 🎧 On launch day, every second counts. Listen in as teams across our European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany - Flight Control, Flight Dynamics, Ground Operations and Software - report in over the voice loop. One by one, they confirm their systems are ready. Led by Flight Operations Director Isabel Rojo, this roll-call is the moment we know we’re set to take charge of the spacecraft.

We just made a laser call… 265 million km away ⚡️ On 7 July 2025, we connected with @NASA’s Psyche spacecraft using light — our first-ever deep-space optical link! Two observatories in Greece. One powerful laser. A return signal from deep space. And this is just the beginning. 📹 @europeanspaceagency 📸 ESA | ESA - European Space Agency

We’re happy to confirm: we have a parachute design that can work on Mars 🪂 It’s an ambitious system, featuring the largest parachute ever flown outside Earth. The first-stage main parachute is 15 m wide, while the second-stage main parachute is 35 m wide, the largest ever used on Mars or anywhere in the Solar System beyond Earth. Made from over 800 square metres of fabric and more than four kilometres of cord for the suspension lines, it takes around three days to fold it inside its bag. In Jul

Going to the Moon was the first step. Staying there is the next ambition. 🌝 With 400 missions scheduled to launch for the Moon in the next two decades, Moonlight aims to be Europe’s first off-planet telecommunications and navigation service provider. Moonlight will be a constellation of five lunar satellites, that will connect to Earth via three dedicated ground stations, creating a data network spanning up to 400 000 km. The Moonlight satellites will be strategically positioned to prioritise c

How does the European Space Agency work? 🧑‍🚀 We are an intergovernmental organisation made up of 23 Member States. We also have Associate Members and Cooperating States. We are separate from the European Union, but work closely with it. Every three years, we hold special meeting called the Council at ministerial level. This year it will take place on 26-27 November, a crucial moment where national ministers responsible for space come together to agree on priorities and funding for the years ah

Two of our spacecraft are flying past Venus on the same day 🛰️ Well technically... Venus spins very slowly. It takes 243 Earth days to make one rotation. So while in Earth time our Solar Orbiter flew past Venus in February and Juice is scheduled to do it on 31st August, if you were on Venus, both events would be happening on the same day. Juice will make use of Venus’s gravity to get a boost on its journey to Jupiter. This is a purely operational manoeuvre, During the flyby, no instruments will
