The European Space Agency has joined the world space community in congratulating the African Space Agency on its official inauguration. The African Space Agency (AfSA) is the second regional space agency after ESA and has been in development since 2015, with the African Union Commission adopting an ...
The first test firing of a P160C booster is set for 24 April. The new booster will replace the P120C on the Ariane 6 and Vega C rockets.
ATMOS Space Cargo has tentatively declared its PHOENIX 1 test flight a success, with further analysis of the collected data still to come.
I’ll bet you don’t spend a ton of time thinking about Deimos.
Recently, we got one of our best views yet of the tiny moon when a European mission named Hera, en route to the asteroid Didymos, flew through the Martian system for a gravity assist. During this transit, the spacecraft came within just 300 km of Deimos.
ESA Concludes Key Testing Phase for Space Rider Service Module
Avio and ESA teams have successfully validated that a key element of Space Rider’s Service Module can withstand the stresses of a rocket launch.
This new snapshot from the European Space Agency’s Mars Express deftly captures the two distinct faces of Mars: ridged and rugged versus smooth and unmarked.
New ESA invention tested in a chamber of no echoes
Latitude has successfully completed the first ignition test of its Navier engine’s combustion chamber in its flight configuration.
French rocket builder Latitude has announced its successful completion of the first hot fire test of a flight-ready version of its Navier rocket engine’s combustion chamber.
Founded in 2019, Latitude is developing a two-stage rocket called Zephyr that will initially be capable of delivering up to 100 kilograms to low Earth orbit. The company is currently targeting 2026 for the rocket’s inaugural flight.
On 8 April, the company announced it had reached a significant milestone in the development of Zephyr with the first pressurised ignition test of the Navier engine’s combustion chamber in its flight configuration. The ten-second test was conducted at the company’s Titan testing centre in Vatry, near Reims, using its new, purpose-built test bench. According to the company, the data collected from the successful test will inform its upcoming long-duration tests.
Zephyr, which will stand 19 metres tall, will use seven Navier engines on its first stage and one vacuum-optimise

The European Space Agency (ESA) released the first batch of images and data for its Euclid space telescope. The images focus on Euclid’s three deep field areas, patches of sky the telescope will observe dozens of times to peer deep into the cosmos. Though the new release only contains Euclid’s first look into these areas, it has already provided astronomers with a treasure trove of data on galaxies and other cosmic phenomena.
