🌑 We've been exploring how a future Moon base might be built from materials on the lunar surface. Inspired by LEGO, we used dust from a meteorite to 3D-print 'space bricks' to test these ideas.  Our 'space bricks' are on display in selected #LEGO stores from 20 June to 20 September, helping to inspire the next generation of space engineers.

🆕 Europe's Ariane 6 rocket recently completed a full 'wet dress rehearsal' at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana – it provided an exciting sneak peek of what’s to come, stopping just a few seconds before engine ignition and of course, liftoff. 🎥 👉 https://lnkd.in/eKCwHabe

🚀 La première des "Rencontres en apESAnteur", c'était il y a déjà deux mois, au siège de l'ESA à Paris ! Nos experts Loredana Bessone,  Jean-François Clervoy (Officiel), Arnaud Prost et Nathalie Tinjod y ont échangé dans la bonne humeur sur le thème des vols habités. 📺 Compte-rendu et captation 👉https://lnkd.in/gbAfgNHe ---- 🚀The first edition of the new series of public conferences "Rencontres en apESAnteur" took place end of April in ESA's headquarters in Paris! Our experts Loredana Bessone, Jean-Francois Clervoy, Arnaud Prost and Nathalie Tinjod exchanged thoughts on the topic of human spaceflight.

#PickyourPic 📸 Isolated from the outside world with radio- and sound-absorbing internal walls, the Hertz chamber simulates the boundless conditions of space. Its hybrid nature makes it unique: Hertz can assess radio signals from antennas either on a local ‘near-field’ basis or as if the signal has crossed thousands of kilometres of space, allowing it to serve all kinds of satellites and antenna systems.   👏 https://lnkd.in/g8Ur6ReS ❤️ https://lnkd.in/gAea5Aff 👍 https://lnkd.in/gia8YGNj 💡 https://lnkd.in/gydrFPtX 🛰 ESA/Anneke Le Floc'h/G.

🌐 We're committed to deliver on the promise of #ZeroDebris by 2030. To ensure compliant 🛰 satellites can be designed and built in time, ESA is supporting industry during this technologically challenging transition. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eDqNeKD8

✨ Dream Big, Start Small - the first episode of the YPSat docu series ✨   🍿 We are thrilled to share with you the first episode of our docu series which will take you through the story of European Space Agency - ESA's YPSAT, a mission flying on-board the inaugural flight of #Ariane6, Europe’s new heavy launcher. 🚀🇪🇺   👥 As #YPSAT has been successfully integrated and #Ariane6 is counting down the days to launch, we wanted to go back in time and trace the beginning of our exciting journey. This first episode documents the very first steps that led a team of Young Professionals with diverse backgrounds, nationalities and expertise, to gather around one passion and with one ambition; design, manufacture and send their own satellite to space. From the first meetings and initial ideas, discover how the team matured the satellite’s mission objectives and received the approval and support of ESA to kick-start the project. 🎯🏃🏼♀️   💥 Stay tuned for the second episode where we will take a deep dive into the technology and engineering brought up by the Young Professionals to overcome the challenges and make this mission a success! 🌍🌟   Remember to stay connected to us as we now enter the last crucial weeks before the launch on the 9th of July! 🚀 📽 https://lnkd.in/gR8pKc2G Credit: ESA/YPSAT/Chilled Winston Studios
