***MISSION UPDATE*** This is with great joy, excitement and pride that we can confirm that we successfully passed the Payload Acceptance Review for our first flight and that the thruster has been integrated this week to the spacecraft, manufactured by our friends at Space Inventor. Next stop: Florida then 🚀#Space 🚀 A warm thank you goes to the Space Inventor's team for a smooth collaboration. It is a pleasure to work with you on this mission, in the frame of the European Space Agency - ESA #Pioneer program. This is the result of months of efforts and would not have been possible without the support of our institutional, industrial and financial partners. #Only_the_beginning 💪 Centre National d'Études Spatiales | EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme | AUDACIA | Technofounders | C2N - Centre de Nanosciences et de Nanotechnologies | CNRS Innovation | Bpifrance | GIFAS - Groupement des Industries Françaises Aéronautiques et Spatiales | SpaceFounders | LaFrenchTech Paris-Saclay | ASTech Paris Region
