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.

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.

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.

The 20-metre fairing just opened up to reveal our payloads to space for the first time. The upper and core stages of the rocket remain connected to the satellites as the rocket keeps moving forward.

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

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.

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.

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.

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...

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. 🔇

CBC Mo Amir... Listen you little fucker, your opinion is best kept to yourself. What we know is that brown folks like the Cons. Why? They protect business owners more than any others. Protect their money, lower taxes for them. But, it's what comes with them, that's SHOULD TERRIFY brown people.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
