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%.

🔊Vega-C rocket launched Smile mission this morning on a quest to reveal Earth’s invisible shield against the solar wind. 🚀Liftoff from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana at 04:52 BST / 05:52 CEST (00:52 local time) on 19 May 2026 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

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.

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

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.

With just 1/4 of the propellant of his bigger sibling, Zefiro-9 has what it takes to take Smile to its orbit.

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.

Finished up #Privileges that is streaming on #HBOMax. It's a good little drama / thriller French series starring Manon Bresch from Netflix's "Mortel" series. It built up things slowly so it took a few eps to have things kick off but by ep 4, things started popping. I liked it. #tvsky #streaming

the drama is expected and the delivery is always appreciated
