Wow. That’s a big change
.@ESA rebranded... sort of. The logo now features a "descriptor for greater clarity." This feels like some agency ran a focus group and found some vague connection between people not recognising the brand and not knowing what ESA stands for. And the best-designed-by-committee solution for this problem they could get through is this mess. I genuinely think they've completely missed the point here. I can guarantee you very few people know that NASA stands for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. And yet, it's a globally recognized brand. The agency's recognition is based on the notoriety of its missions, and even then, only a very small number of them. I think if you asked the average person on the street wearing a NASA T-shirt to name any NASA mission, they'd be hard-pressed to name anything past Apollo. Maybe Artemis, but that has a fair bit of recency bias attached.

Une startup @ISAE_officiel
C'est fascinant, et c'est français 🇫🇷 ! Alpha impulsion est une fusée fabriquée avec du carburant solide. En vol, elle se consume elle-même... > Plus de déchets spatiaux > Des coûts de lancement divisés par 5 !

Based on a handful of sources, this is what I've been able to glean about the New Glenn failure this evening in Florida. TL;DR, it's freaking bad. arstechnica.com/space/2026/0…

Amazing
This is probably the best look at the shockwaves I’ve seen from the latest Starship flight. Captured from a GoPro I clamped onto a proper camera to record simultaneous video. (I’ll show you the photo the better camera took in the reply)

How was your weekend? I spent mine launching the Space Shuttle. With NASA code from 1970 that nobody could run for 50 years.

Even for a small instrument like PACIS on ExoMars EDLM , the planetary protection constraints are a real headache
ESA has completed sterilisation of the ExoMars parachute that will slow the Rosalind Franklin rover’s descent for a safe touchdown on the Red Planet. europeanspaceflight.com/esa-…
