👩‍🚀🇮🇳 BAS : quelques éléments sur la future station spatiale indienne. À l’occasion d’une récente présentation technique de l’ISRO, de nouveaux détails ont émergé concernant la Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS), la future station spatiale habitée de l’Inde. 🔹 Le 11 juin 2026, dans le cadre du programme de formation en ligne IIRS-ISRO Digital Learning Programme, le Dr S. Unnikrishnan Nair a présenté une conférence intitulée « Launch Vehicle System ». Cette intervention, diffusée en direct, abordait notamment les systèmes de lancement associés aux futures missions habitées indiennes et au développement de la BAS. 🔹 Figure majeure de l’ISRO, le Dr Unnikrishnan Nair est fortement impliqué dans le programme spatial habité indien. Ses travaux concernent notamment les évolutions du vaisseau Gaganyaan ainsi que l’architecture de la future station spatiale nationale. 🔹 Le diaporama présenté lors de la conférence comportait plusieurs illustrations inédites liées à la BAS. L’une d’elles montrait notamment le module central BAS-02 dans sa configuration encapsulée sous coiffe, offrant un aperçu concret de son intégration avant lancement. 🔹 Les dimensions visibles sur les documents correspondent aux caractéristiques déjà associées au module central BAS-02. Celui-ci afficherait un diamètre allant de 2,8 à 4 mètres selon la sections, pour une longueur proche de 9,25 mètres, soit environ la moitié de la longueur du module central chinois Tianhe. 🔹 Une autre illustration présentait le vaisseau habité Gaganyaan équipé d’un système d’amarrage. Cette configuration confirme la volonté de l’ISRO de rendre le véhicule compatible avec le standard international IDSS (International Docking System Standard), ouvrant la voie à des missions régulières vers la BAS et potentiellement vers d’autres stations spatiales compatibles. 👉 L’Inde poursuit activement la définition technique de son infrastructure orbitale habitée. La Bharatiya Antariksh Station constitue l’une des pierres angulaires de la stratégie spatiale indienne pour les décennies à venir, avec l’objectif de disposer d’une présence humaine autonome en orbite basse. 📄 : Dr S. Unnikrishnan Nair, IIRS-ISRO Digital Learning Programme, 11 juin 2026.

Wrote a thing - a long read on some thoughts on the future of Earth observation, especially the open data policy which we all seem to be taking for granted. At a time when 60 countries seem to be launching national EO satellite constellations, the question is not whether we will have enough capability - we do. The harder question is whether we will have the will to come together to create a global infrastructure for EO. Sixty countries launching their own EO satellites could mean 60 contributions to a global Earth observation system or just 60 isolated national EO programs that do not add up.

THIS is how you start to explore #interstellar - one small step at a time. On 13 Nov 2026 follow-on mission #Voyager1 will be one light day away from Earth. I hope @NASAAdmin throws a big party. No other nation has done this.

Honored to join @TimSheehyMT and members of our military community in Normandy last week for a commemorative D-Day jump. 82 years later, the courage and sacrifice of those who stormed the beaches and dropped into occupied France still inspire generations to take on hard missions in service of something greater than themselves.

In NOAA’s latest outlook, the agency confirmed that El Niño has begun as warm water sloshes eastward to the normally chilly ocean off Peru’s coast. It estimated a 63% chance the El Niño will grow into a very strong event later this year—nearly double the odds it assigned in May. scim.ag/4vILoHI

Impressive satellite view of an outflow boundary expanding from a collapsing storm in Texas today.

Why hasn't the White House or OSTP or NASA or DOD - or any other government department said anything about this council thing? @ProfAviLoeb

When most companies' opening remarks during their IPOs were about profit, today it hits something different. It is hope. The once-inspiring future that excited us when we were young but that we dropped after growing up—we have found it again.

I took this photo on my first day at SpaceX, nearly a decade ago. It is hard to put into words how much this company has changed my life. From the early days before Starlink was built, to the first Starship launch, the Twitter acquisition, DOGE, xAI, and now SpaceX going public, I feel incredibly grateful to have contributed to such an amazing mission. I had the opportunity to be involved in something much bigger than myself, something that genuinely pushes the world and humanity forward. To everyone who built this company, believed in the mission, and gave so much of themselves to make this possible, thank you. I will always be grateful to have been a small part of it. I fucking love this company from the bottom of my heart. $SPCX

Imagine what's next. @SpaceX $SPCX
