Access to information is my mission, wherever you are. Love a good challenge! Even better if it involves new sights, sounds, and tastes.

Astroscale has selected @isaraerospace to launch the ELSA-M In-Orbit Demonstration mission – a key step toward routine, scalable in-orbit servicing. 🚀
ELSA-M builds on our rendezvous and proximity operations expertise to enable safe removal of an end-of-life satellite.
The ELSA-M mission is supported by the @spacegovuk through the through the @esa ’s programme of Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES) as part of the Sunrise Partnership Project, a public-private partnership with @EutelsatGroup.

The Spanish space industry is going full throttle, with a justified sense of optimism and pride. Special thanks to @ICEX_ for convening a lively panel focused on international cooperation at @SSSIForum. ¡Vayamos juntos!
“Even if only a fraction of all the filed systems launch in the next 5-10 years, it will put a huge burden on LEO. But it also presents an opportunity to transform the way we manage fleets of satellites and move away from single-use operations.”

One of the most enjoyable podcasts I've done. We talk about tech all day long, but this was an opportunity to listen to great individual journeys and about some of the things that inspire them!

One of my satcoms email newsletters led with this and it was the most enjoyable headline of all (looking at you @MSUAorg). Sitting in sultry London on July 4th, I tip my hat to Colin Hawkins because, “not having an ice cream man isn’t cool.” thenorthernlight.com/stories… @TNLreporter

A very novel approach for ensuring a sustainable space environment and the @ESA_Cluster team should be proud of this achievement!

I was at an event a couple of weeks ago where Joe Wicks .@thebodycoach wandered over (ok, I dragged him over), and his first reaction was “How the f*ck do you clean up space?” Indeed! It’s hard. If you are at .@fosgoodwood this weekend, come visit the Future Lab and see how!

Ffs. Yes, they are super-cool in a mid-century modern Jetsons-esque kind of way and I’ll always be a fan, but you could build them their own museum for that kind of $$$.
