Vinci just fired for the third time to ensure a safe deorbit and allowing Ariane 6 to adhere to the zero debris approach.

Here we go! 🚀 The first Ariane 64 is now fully assembled, standing tall inside the mobile gantry, on the launch pad. This 20-metre tall fairing hides and protects 32 Amazon Leo satellites until it's time to reveal them to space.

After 2 minutes of pure thrust (and 142 tonnes of solid propellant), the first stage of Vega-C, P120C, was turned off and left behind. Now the second stage takes over: Zefiro-40 will fire for 3 minutes, propelling the Smile farther away from Earth!

Your package has arrived! 📦 We have confirmation that the 32 Amazon Leo 32 satellites have been delivered.

AVUM+ just fired for the last time to ensure a safe deorbit and allowing Vega-C to adhere to the zero debris approach.

The launcher is complete, all systems are ready and the countdown is on! ⚡️ Flight #VA268 will take 32 Amazon Leo satellites from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana to low Earth orbit. Liftoff is set for 30 April 2026 between 09:08-09:57 BST/10:08-10:57 CEST.

Zefiro-40 and Zefiro-9 fit together like a puzzle piece 🧩 The third stage of the Vega-C rocket, Zefiro-9, is the same as used on Vega and burns 10 tonnes of solid propellant. #VV29 🤝 @esa.int @science.esa.int @operations.esa.int

Women aren’t just reaching for the stars, they’re engineering the rockets that get us there. On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, these are some of the faces of @esa.int Space Transportation.

Start the week with a Smile 😊 In preparation for Vega-C flight #VV29 that will take Smile to orbit from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, we're building the rocket that will take her to space. The P120C solid booster and the Zefiro-40 stage have already been transferred to the launch zone.

Ariane 6 just started to deploy the first of the 32 Amazon Leo satellites.

Studios didn’t hire me because I had no experience in gaming… so I decided to make my own. Here’s my first indie game: Maseylia – Echoes of the Past. It’s an action-platformer imagined as a 3D metroidvania: backtracking, unlockable abilities, exploration, combat… And it’s inspired by Moebius.
