@technology.esa.intA satellite image shows the Sun with a black dot at its centre, resembling a glaring eye in the darkness of space 👁️
📸 The dot isn’t a camera failure, but a useful feature that the Trisat-S satellite leverages for navigation control 👉 www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...
@technology.esa.int🤘 The fifth space metal lands on Earth, this time including miniature thrusters 🔥
Made by @esa.int’s metal 3D printer on the International Space Station, this sample was designed in collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) @dlr-en.bsky.social.
@technology.esa.intHappy New Year to all the Martians! 🥂
@technology.esa.int🦾 A robot clutches onto pieces of equipment to steadily build a structure underneath itself, piece by piece, to demonstrate how large structures could be assembled in space 👉 www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...
@technology.esa.intWhen a satellite runs out of fuel, its mission is over ❌⛽
That's why @esa.int is working towards a future where spacecraft can rendezvous, dock, refuel, repair, recalibrate and even be repurposed for new missions indefinitely: www.esa.int/Enabling_Sup...
@technology.esa.int💡 Do you have a disruptive idea, a technology development, or a product ready for in-orbit demonstrations?
@esa.int ’s technology programmes can help! One simplified approach for industry to access funding, expertise and facilities: www.esa.int/Enabling_Sup...
@technology.esa.int🧹 As we celebrate #ZeroDebris week, the ESA-supported CubeSat GOMX-5 is preparing to launch with a mission that combines sustainable space operations and practical services on Earth 👉 www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...
@josefaschbacher.esa.intReposted by @technology.esa.intWill we be passengers or pilots? Customers or service providers? Tenants or architects? At the International Space Summit, I argued that Europe must take steps now to shape its own future in space.

@josefaschbacher.esa.intReposted by @technology.esa.intLast night we brought together astronauts, ministers, industry leaders and space enthusiasts to celebrate the imagination, innovation and cooperation that define Europe's journey in space. From Earth orbit to deep space, we were reminded that today's ambitions become tomorrow's achievements.
@technology.esa.int🌈 This year’s Leiden Canal Pride Parade was, once again, fabulous! 🌈 A huge thank you to everyone who came to cheer, dance, and celebrate diversity with us. The vibes were immaculate ✨💃
Space for all! ❤️ #canalprideleiden #prideleiden #pride
@technology.esa.intAaand ESA's Odyssey wouldn't be possible without some technology testing first... updates coming soon! 😉
@technology.esa.int🧑🚀🌙 Why and how do we protect astronauts from lunar dust?

@technology.esa.int🐦🔥 ESA engineers and industry partners reviewed a concept for Phoenix 3 – a reusable spacecraft that would fly experiments in microgravity and return them safely back to Earth, proposed by the European startup ATMOS Space Cargo 👉 www.esa.int/Enabling_Sup...
@technology.esa.intIn just two days, parts of Europe will experience a total solar eclipse! ☀️🌑
But these are rare and give scientists little time to study the Sun's corona.
Here's how @esa.int is mimicking and modelling the eclipse to learn more about our star 👀 www.esa.int/Enabling_Sup...
@technology.esa.intThis firing marked the first commissioning test of @esa.int's new Chemical Propulsion Laboratory 🚀
The facility has been designed to give startups, researchers and industry faster access to propulsion testing for small satellites and emerging space technologies 👉 www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...
