Arianespace
Arianespace@Arianespace·
Second mission. Same ambition. The @Amazonleo satellites for our next mission, VA268, have now arrived at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, marking a new step in the deployment of the Amazon Leo constellation. In the coming weeks, Arianespace will begin the launch campaign, from satellite processing to integration on Ariane 6, preparing these payloads for their journey to low Earth orbit. The VA268 mission, designated LE-02 by Amazon, will fly on Ariane 6 in its four-booster configuration, a powerful setup particularly adapted to support the sustained deployment of large constellations. This mission is the second of 18 launches planned under our contract with Amazon, reflecting a long-term partnership built on performance, reliability and shared ambition to expand global connectivity from space. More updates soon from Kourou. #LaunchingAmbitions @ArianeGroup @esa @CNES @EuropeSpacePort

Below is the note that I sent to the NASA workforce today as we release the report on the Starliner Crew Flight Test Investigation. We will achieve success through extreme ownership, immense competence, and decisive action.

Celebrating 5 years on Mars! 🎉 NASA's Perseverance Rover safely landed on the surface of the Red Planet 5 years ago today, ready to begin its search for signs of past life. In 2024, it made a significant find: the "Cheyava Falls" rock pictured here provides possible evidence of ancient life on Mars!

I view this kind of thing as a uniquely disturbing product of our time. The 4 Artemis II crew members are heroes and braver than most, betting on a hardware failure no matter how serious is disgraceful and in incredibly poor taste.
Polymarket@Polymarket

@adamjohnsonCHI To clarify: this was a market about a potential booster-stage rupture — a defined hardware failure scenario — not about the Orion crew capsule or astronaut safety. This was not a market on crew injury or loss of life.

Some connections from the 1970s are better left in the past, but this one has been waiting 50 years to happen. ⏱️🚜 At the Bethesda Station South Mezzanine project in Bethesda, Maryland, our project team had a mere 44-hour window to bridge that half-century gap, demoing original concrete "horsecollar" walls to link the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (@wmata) station with the @mtamaryland's future Purple Line. Despite the intense time pressure of the weekend shutdown, we mobilized, built a crash deck, and deep-cleaned the site for the Monday commute – finishing exactly on schedule with zero incidents. #ClarkBuildsMD

People overlook this- but its just as important as Artemis With the death of the ISS around the corner- it’s vital the US maintain a presence in space & Vast & Gateway to come online The US abandoning our presence in space after 20yrs+ will be as big of a loss as ending Apollo.
SpaceX@SpaceX

Falcon 9 will launch Dragon and @Vast’s first private astronaut mission to the @Space_Station from Florida no earlier than summer 2027

Spotted @ULAlaunch USSF-87 two payloads as expected, and Centaur V upper stage near GEO slot 92°E. They arrived at around 2026-02-12 15:18 UTC. Soon after, Centaur V started fuel dumping and disposal maneuvering.

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.
