🌒 Can you build the infrastructure to deliver #communication and #navigation services in Lunar Orbit? Answer to the ITT before 26 May 👉 bit.ly/3LdAhlT Under the #Moonlight Programme, @esa will act as an anchor customer while the services can be sold to other entities

Taken during the #Artemis I Moon flyby, the optical navigation camera aboard the @NASA_Orion spacecraft closely captured stunning pics of craters on the Moon. 🌕 🔗 All pictures available here: @N04/sets/72177720303788800/with/52519059601/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">flickr.com/photos/2998873…

Yesterday, @NASA_Orion manoeuvred its solar arrays and captured the Moon as seen here with a camera mounted on the end of the array. The #Artemis I spacecraft is now over halfway to the Moon. @NASAArtemis @AirbusSpace @AirbusDS_NL @BeyondGravity_S @esaspaceflight #OrionESM

Handover complete! The @NearSpaceNet has handed over #Artemis comms to @NASA's Deep Space Network! The NSN successfully enabled communications for @NASA_Orion during launch and early ascent. Now, the DSN will support the spacecraft en route to and in orbit around the Moon.

We’re going back to the Moon and staying ! 🚀🌕 As we explore the moon further and establish a lunar economy, @EsaTelecoms will provide connectivity to lunar activities and exploration through our #Moonlight programme 🛰️ #Artemis #ForwardToTheMoon

🌒 Apply before 28 Oct to the Moonlight Request for Information to show your interest in developing the #constellation of lunar satellites to guide #Moon #exploration and the relevant products or technologies👉bit.ly/3F7ahpr @esa @Space4Europe @esaoperations @ESAforSME

Bonjour Paris! Don‘t forget, today is our #IAC2022 presentation „AUTO-TDS: Enabling #laser communication networks to auto detect incoming links, securing connection & auto-routing the data“ in B2.5 at 10:45. Feel kindly invited to join us there. #hydron #scylight #moonlight #edrs

During @IACParis2022, @esa‘s DG @AschbacherJosef said during the Heads of Agencies Plenary that there will be more news about #ESAmoonlight on Monday. #iac2022 esa.int/Newsroom/Press… @ElodieViau @EsaTelecoms, @ESA_EO, @esaoperations

The #Artemis I mission will require both of @NASA's communications networks to work together to enable a seamless mission. Different communications services will be needed as @NASA_Orion leaves Earth, orbits the Moon, and returns safely home. go.nasa.gov/3An3GnV

Watch the Artemis 1 launch live tomorrow. ⏰ 29 August 13.33 BST/14.33 CST Only one more day to go! #Artemis #WeAreGoing #ForwardToTheMoon esa.int/Science_Explor…

Happily presenting our work at the Advanced Photonics Congress #APC22 #SPPCOM, Free-space optical com session, on the « Channel Model of a Ground to Satellite Optical Link Pre-Compensated by Adaptive Optics » 🛰 looking forward to meet you all and see you there !

#ICYMI: Last week @FIAFarnborough Airshow in the UK we highlighted our #5G/#6G Hub, project #Moonlight and much more. Read more about @ESA’s activities at #FIA22 here👉esa.int/About_Us/Exhib…

Grand opening of @DLR_de's Johannes Kepler Observatory! 🔭✨It houses the largest telescope of its kind in #Europe & will use cutting-edge laser technology to detect #spacedebris. The primary goal is to contribute to the safe use of #space: dlr.de/content/en/art…

Moon orbits can look wonky, depending where you watch from. This is a Halo Orbit, used this weekend by @RocketLab's CAPSTONE bit.ly/39VGiTZ.

How we choose to settle the Moon, now, will establish how we explore and settle everywhere beyond. Pivotal moment in time. Please help fund a research fellow - thanks!

MISSION UPDATE: After a successful first trajectory correction maneuver on July 7, the #CAPSTONE team is standing down from today's scheduled maneuver to perform additional analysis on the spacecraft and determine whether it is still needed at this time: go.nasa.gov/3ACAKJ7

We’ve got “eyes” on #CAPSTONE! 🛰️ NASA's Eyes app will now let you visualize the spacecraft on its journey to the Moon in real time! Follow along, so you don’t miss a minute of this mission: go.nasa.gov/3OWgarB

The @esa #moonlight made me think about whthr or not there's smth like the shielded zone on the #Moon RECOMMENDATION @ITU-R RA.479 protecting radio astronomy but for the visible spectrum protecting optical astronomy. Is there, @neiltyson @BillNye @unoosa @IAU_org @starstrickenSF?

After 26 missions, Electron is no stranger to low Earth orbit, but our next mission will see us launch much farther than usual. Learn more about the rocket launching #CAPSTONE to the Moon for @NASA and @AdvancedSpace.
