To build our Vega-C rocket we stack one stage on top of the other, gently 😊 Here the second Vega-C stage, Zefiro-40, is being hoisted onto the first stage P120C solid-propellant rocket motor. #VV29 🤝 @esa.int @science.esa.int @operations.esa.int

Meet Greta, a new European rocket engine 🔥 A 5 kN thrust class rocket engine fuelled by hydrogen peroxide and ethanol, which can be restarted several times. Greta fired for over 40 seconds continuously, multiple times, showing stable operations, including controlled shutdowns. 🎥 ArianeGroup

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

Power pack testing 💪 Rocket Factory Augsburg is working on an upgrade to their Helix rocket engine, completing a set of tests at Esrange Space Center in Sweden.

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.

Nice to see you, Smile! Vega-C just opened up its fairing to reveal Smile to the skies, for the first time. But the journey is not over yet, there's still a long way to orbit.

Look who's on her way 👀 Our next Vega-C passenger, @science.esa.int's Smile mission, is making its way from Europe to Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. Can't wait to welcome her with an open fairing 🤗 Just for fun, see where she's at: www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/detai...

Loud and powerful: Vega-C even makes cameras "faint". This video shows Vega-C's ascent to the skies for flight #VV29 recorded by one of the closest to action cameras.

And we have liftoff for Ariane 6 🚀 Flight #VA268 has just left Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana and is heading to low Earth orbit.

#Habs MSL on Kirby Dach "His competitiveness, his commitment… he has come up with important goals for us. Even though we weren't able to score a third or fourth one (in game 1), his second goal helped us get going again and gain some momentum. I find that Kirby helps us with momentum." #GoHabsGo
