Update on #EUSST’s monitoring of object ZQ-3 R/B: the re-entry window has narrowed down to 2026-01-30 08:42:34 UTC ±582 min. The below figure shows the latest ground track map for the re-entry window. Find more details here: eusst.eu/newsroom/news/… #EUSpace

#EUSST is monitoring the re-entry of object ZQ-3 R/B (2025-282A #66877), a 2-stage launch vehicle that could have a dummy payload attached to its second stage. EU SST contributing sensors are observing the object to narrow down the re-entry window. More updates will follow soon.

@EdgarHook @KubiliusA The satellites were launched from Europe’s spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.

@KubiliusA Great news! Where is the location they are launched from?

Launch success with #Galileo SAT 33 & SAT 34! 👏 Congrats to all mission teams! With these new satellites, we strengthen Europe’s global navigation services - delivering greater precision, reliability & autonomy in space. 🔗 ec.europa.eu/commission/pre… 📹 youtube.com/watch?v=41YmL-…

Galileo is financed by the EU, managed by the @EU_Commission (@defis_eu), operated under the responsibility of EUSPA, and developed by @esa.

Galileo LEOP operations are among the most collaborative activities in the European space sector, including EUSPA, @Spaceopal, and @esa. By combining forces and expertise, we are unlocking the full potential of European Union GNSS and the wider EU Space Programme.

EUSPA is now managing the two new Galileo satellites as part of the Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP). The satellites were launched earlier this morning by @Arianespace and have now reached the holding point, with their solar panels successfully deployed.

🚀✨ Relive the moment! Watch the replay of #Ariane6 lifting off on mission #VA266, carrying SAT 33 and SAT 34, the satellites of the 14th operation launch for the Galileo programme.
