Thank you, Vulcain 2.1! 🔥 The core stage of Ariane 6 has now separated from the upper stage. Vinci will now take over to continue the rocket's ascent to the skies.
Zefiro-40 has finished its job and now it's time to say goodbye and turn on Zefiro-9, its smaller sibling.
Liftoffs are rough. And payloads need to be protected. That's why ESA has renewed its contract with Lios, an Irish company that developed SoundBounce: a material to shield payloads from the noise and vibrations of liftoff. 🔇
Payloads delivered! 📦 The Auxiliary Propulsion Unit has worked non-stop during the separation of all 32 satellites.
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...

Nothing beats a smooth sail 🌴 Back in January, the first 3 stages of the next Vega-C rocket arrived in French Guiana! #VV29 Manufactured in mainland Europe, the stages were transported by Canopée, the first custom-built transporter to use sails, reducing emissions and saving on fuel by up to 30%.

What part of you’re saying the same things about Tom Steyer that Donald Trump’s supporters have said about him for the past decade “people can change” does not apply to snake oil salesmen who’ve made billions off hurting people like Trump & Steyer.

A rather stark welcome home. I didn’t see the moment this lad took down the drone, but as I stepped out of the station to get my taxi, the alert hit, sirens, people moving quickly, that familiar urgency as the driver politely said “rocket” Russia wastes no time reminding you where you are.

Mike Johnson says Trump’s bill is a win for hardworking Americans — but here’s the truth: ❌ Strips healthcare from 17M people ❌ Guts food aid from 3M people ❌ Defunds public safety & mental health services ❌ Cuts school meals from 18M kids ❌ Gives $1.3T in tax cuts for the wealthy
Trump's first year in office has been a disaster—and every single one of my State of the Union guests have been hurt by his radical and dangerous policies. It's important everyone hear these stories.
With the State of the Union tonight, it's clear: Trump's policies are hurting working families right here in mid-Michigan. Tonight he's going tell us this isn't true. And DC Republicans like Tom Barrett will stand and applaud. We deserve better.
Criticizing Israel is not tolerated in the UK apparently and it’s not tolerated in America either. He made the mistake of saying that Israel controls the United States. And… 🧐 Meanwhile, in America. They’re going to try and pass a bill in the House that combines the Israeli and US militaries. ⬇️
