I had a constructive first meeting in Washington, D.C. with my counterpart at NASA, @NASAAdmin. We had a very constructive discussion on space exploration and are fully aligned on our shared objectives: the Moon, LEO, and Mars. Looking forward to continuing the discussions.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman@NASAAdmin

I was pleased to welcome Director General @AschbacherJosef and our @esa partners to NASA Headquarters today. As we move forward with our return to the Moon, the European Space Agency remains a key partner across much of NASA’s portfolio. Their contributions will be important as we build a sustained lunar presence and prepare for missions beyond.

Seeing the first Infrared Sounder images from @eumetsat MTG-S1 satellite really brings this mission and its potential to life!
ESA Earth Observation@ESA_EO

The first official images from @eumetsat's MTG-S1 satellite are in👀 These images from 15 December 2025 show Earth’s atmosphere in terms of temperature and humidity — data that will support more accurate weather forecasting, especially for nowcasting rapidly evolving storms. How to read them: In the temperature image (left), warmer land surfaces appear red and colder appear blue. In the humidity image (right), blue indicates higher humidity, while red marks drier regions. esa.int/Applications/O… 📸 @Thales_Alenia_S, @OHB_SE, @esa and @eumetsat.

2026 will be a defining year for ESA. From @Soph_astro’s εpsilon mission and the first Ariane 64 and next Galileo launches, to powering humanity’s return to the Moon, BepiColombo entering orbit around Mercury, major data releases from Gaia and Euclid, ESA’s HERA arriving at Didymos, and new climate missions like FLEX, this will be one of the most mission-dense and strategically important years in @ESA’s history. Together with our Member States and partners, we are strengthening Europe’s role in space for science, security, sustainability, and exploration. 🌍✨ Watch the replay of my 2026 DG press conference here: #msdynmkt_trackingcontext=53226211-555f-4563-9532-3153a5840100" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">esa.int/ESA_Multimedia…

Our first Scout mission has made it to space and sent first its signal — it’s official: HydroGNSS‑1 and HydroGNSS-2 are safely in orbit and ready to begin monitoring Earth’s water cycle. 🌍💧
ESA Earth Observation@ESA_EO

We have a mission! Both HydroGNSS satellites have sent their first signals 📡 HydroGNSS is an @esa Scout mission under FutureEO: compact in size, but built to deliver big science insights into Earth’s water cycle💧: esa.int/Applications/O…

Both @esa's HydroGNSS satellites have been deployed and are now flying solo. HydroGNSS 1 and 2 are our first Scout mission: they are developed within a limited budget, while offering actionable data to scientists worldwide. HydroGNSS will deliver key insight into Earth's water cycle: esamultimedia.esa.int/docs/EarthObse…

The Arctic is an important scientific ecosystem and a region where climate change is particularly pronounced: there is huge potential for an ESA Arctic Space Centre to bring benefits to Norway, the wider Arctic region, and to the rest of Europe. #CM25
Josef Aschbacher@AschbacherJosef

What happens in the Arctic does not stay in the Arctic. What happens in the Arctic shapes our climate, influences our economies, and has an impact on our security. Today, the Arctic faces renewed global interest. It must adapt – and space can play a decisive role in that adaptation. From orbit above the Arctic, one can monitor two oceans, three continents, and the entire Northern Hemisphere simultaneously. This is precisely why today I signed a Letter of Intent between @esa and the Kingdom of Norway to establish an ESA Arctic Space Centre in Tromsø. #msdynmkt_trackingcontext=2d6be264-8661-48c7-a469-deb883e80000" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">esa.int/About_Us/Corpo…

Ministers and high-level representatives from across Europe and from Canada kicked-off @ESA’s Council at Ministerial level in Bremen yesterday to define the Agency’s budget and programmatic priorities for the coming three years – decisions that will shape Europe’s role in space for the decade ahead. On to day two. Let us continue to choose unity and ambition. linkedin.com/posts/josef-as…
