The ESA HERA mission consists of one mother-spacecraft developed by OHB and two CubeSats. GomSpace provides one of the CubeSats (Juventas) as well as the Inter-satellite link system (ISL) between the three spacecrafts enabling the communication between the spacecrafts...
When tested in space-like conditions, the instrument on ESA’s Euclid space telescope set to measure the velocities of fast-receding galaxies abruptly stopped operating.
Blindsided, the mission team feared it might take weeks or even months of extra time to uncover...
A skeletal floor for the ESA-supported lunar habitat design which was created by leading architects Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and currently on show at this year’s Venice Biennale.
This prototype floor design section was 3D printed in stainless steel by Dutch company...
With Covid restrictions a little more relaxed, scientists from Europe and the USA were finally able to team up for a long-awaited field experiment to ensure that a new Copernicus satellite called CHIME will deliver the best possible data...
A new round-trip commercial space transportation service from 2022, backed by ESA, will enable companies to manufacture in space very pure and more capable materials, discover new pharmaceutical drugs and bring them back for use on Earth.
Space Forge, based...
A Sun barely peeking over a cratered horizon, casting long shadows across a rocky moonscape: ESA’s Erasmus Innovation Centre was transformed into an analogue of the Moon’s polar regions, in a dress rehearsal for an international rover competition.

Around the same size as two big Harry Potter paperbacks, ESA’s Sun-watching Sunstorm CubeSat has produced its first solar X-ray spectrum, coming just over a week after its launch to orbit aboard a Vega rocket.
CubeSats are miniaturised satellites based on...
Europe’s Vega has delivered Pléiades Neo-4 and four auxiliary payloads, SunStorm, RadCube and LEDSAT developed through ESA, and BRO-4, to their planned orbits.
Pléiades Neo-4, the primary payload with a launch mass of 922 kg, was the first to be...
A sophisticated telecommunications satellite that can be completely repurposed while in space has launched from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, at 23:00 CEST yesterday.
Developed under an ESA Partnership Project with satellite operator Eutelsat and prime manufacturer Airbus, Eutelsat Quantum...
