First commercial data buy of lunar science and resources data by @esa esa.int/Science_Exploration/…

Snooping science on the Moon

The European Space Agency (ESA) has signed its first exploration data buy agreement with Hungarian company Puli Space Technologies, whose neutron spectrometer will study water ice in the Moon's south...

UK expertise is on the hunt for water on the Moon. 💧🌑 @NASA's Peregrine Lunar Lander is planned for launch on Monday for its journey to the Moon, carrying the Peregrine Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer (PITMS). 🚀 Learn more about UK involvement in PITMS. 👇

What a great #ELS2023 hosted by @UniPadova. The largest ELS yet with over 250 attendees from across the globe. Can you spot yourself in the group photo below? Please RT if you attended #ELS2023 (even if you missed the group photo shoot). Thanks all for making it a success 🙏

It has been a great team effort to resume the in person element of #ELS after the pandemic. LOC and SOC have left no stone unturned in putting up the program. Stage set for the biggest ELS yet. To the Moon! @esa @NASA_Lunar @spacegovuk @OpenUniversity @OU_STEM @OU_SPS #ELS2023

Just imagine you could collect solar power, in the order of GWs, and beam it down to the earth's surface. If that works, that would be a game changer for Europe's energy situation, and for humanity - Director General @AschbacherJosef of @esa at the opening of #CM22 on Solaris

Europe did some cost-benefit studies on the potential of space-based solar power. The UK firm Frazer-Nash used an interesting rocket as part of its graphics package. esa.int/Enabling_Support/Spa…

Space-based Solar Power would be an important step towards carbon neutrality and energy independence for Europe. Two recent independent studies strongly recommend investments to advance the SBSP technologies needed to address our growing energy crisis: esa.int/Enabling_Support/Spa…

SOLARIS: Preparing for space-based solar power

ESA has proposed a preparatory programme for Europe, initially named SOLARIS, for the upcoming ESA Council at Ministerial Level in November 2022.

It will be up to Europe, @ESA and its Member States to push the envelope of technology to solve one of the most pressing problems for people on Earth of this generation. Much will be on the table at #CM22.

At #CM22, I will propose a SBSP preparatory programme to Member States called #SOLARIS. We have the main building blocks already, but let me be clear: for the project to succeed, much technology development and funding is still needed. esa.int/Enabling_Support/Spa…

This series of illustrations by Olivier Pâques for @esa's Terrae Novae initiative are stunning! I wish the agency shared more information about the images and their creation but I can't see anything. Pâques appears to be a Belgian cartoonist and I am now a fan of his work!

A British general election mandate is not for a person it is for a party and their manifesto.
