We’re keeping time in space ⏱️ For the first time, a fully European active hydrogen maser — one of the most precise clocks on Earth — is running at our deep-space ground station in New Norcia, Australia. Why it matters? These ultra-stable clocks are the heartbeat of deep-space missions, navigation, and even fundamental physics experiments. And now, Europe has its own! 📹 @europeanspaceagency 🎞️ Safran Timing Technologies; ESA; ESA/DiGOS Potsdam GmbH; @gettyimages; @hubbleesa; ESA/BepiColombo/MT

On the last day of the Artemis II mission, our European Service Module and Orion's Crew Module separated. 🥹 They both entered Earth's atmosphere, our Service Module burnt up harmlessly, and the Crew Module splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. The European Service Module provided life support for the astronauts - air, water, and a comfortable temperature - as well as electricity with its four solar arrays and propulsion through space with its 33 engines.

But only one galaxy stands out as the most important nearby stellar island to our Milky Way: the magnificent Andromeda galaxy (Messier 31).

Next time we land on the Moon, you’ll feel like you’re right there. 🌕 We’re talking HD video, full colour, 60 frames per second. But filming on the Moon isn’t easy. Dust, harsh lighting, limited bandwidth and signal delays? Not exactly a film set. That’s why, together with @dlr.en, we ran a full-on Moonwalk simulation at the LUNA facility in Germany — complete with astronauts, sun simulators, and even lunar ‘selfies’. The goal?

Our Juice spacecraft passed its closest point to Venus on 31 August, as it completed the second of four planned gravity assists. The Venus flyby gave Juice a significant boost. When it next encounters Earth in September 2026, the spacecraft will have reached the required Jupiter transfer velocity of 11 km/s. However, Jupiter won’t be in the right place to send Juice out towards it just yet. Juice will use the Earth flyby in 2026 to further fine-tune its trajectory. After one more orbit around th

Europe’s security starts in space 🛡️ From Galileo’s secure navigation signals to Italy’s dual-use IRIDE constellation, from independent access to space to new cyber defence capabilities in Belgium — we’re already proving that Europe can safeguard its critical space assets. Now we’re proposing to go further by building a long-term, resilient ‘system of systems’ — Earth observation, secure navigation, and communications — to support Europe’s security and defence from space.

How does the European Space Agency work? 🧑‍🚀 We are an intergovernmental organisation made up of 23 Member States. We also have Associate Members and Cooperating States. We are separate from the European Union, but work closely with it. Every three years, we hold special meeting called the Council at ministerial level. This year it will take place on 26-27 November, a crucial moment where national ministers responsible for space come together to agree on priorities and funding for the years ah

22.1 billion euros subscribed. A record. A first. And a clear message that Europe is serious about space and that ESA is the agency it trusts to deliver. To our Member States, Assosciate Members and Canada: you have written history. This is the space agency you all have created and continue to push to evolve and grow. We have record subscriptions, and for the first time, ESA has received exactly what we asked for. 📹 @europeanspaceagency 📸 ESA 🎞️ ESA | ESA - European Space Agency
