Jour 047, orbite 0714 – Petit coup d’œil sur ma chambre à 400 km d’altitude… Il y a en tout 8 cabines individuelles à bord de la Station: ➡ 5 dans le segment américain (USOS), 4 sont dans le Nœud 2, et un 5e, CASA, est installé depuis 2021 dans le plafond* de Columbus ➡ 3 dans le segment russe (RSOS). L’espace intérieur est super cosy ; mon sac de couchage sur mesure est accroché sur l’un des murs, mes affaires personnelles sur les autres faces – de la trousse de toilette au pyjama ! Dans cet immense volume partagé qu’est la Station, c’est un vrai confort que d’avoir un coin à soi où se reposer au calme ! Je m’y suis tout de suite sentie à l’aise, cela me rappelle les nuits sous la tente en rando ! 🙏 Merci à mes amis d’@AirbusHeli pour le cadeau de bienvenue, c’était une belle surprise! * Même si nous utilisons toutes les faces de chaque pièce, par convention la Station a bien un plancher et un plafond! Pour se repérer, on utilise les termes forward (avant), aft (arrière), overhead (plafond), deck (pont), starboard (tribord) et port (bâbord). 📷 NASA/ESA – S. Adenot #εpsilon

I'm honoured that France has ordered the VSR700 to conduct surveillance and intelligence missions from its vessels. We can now launch serial production not only for France but also for export customers. The VSR700 has so much to offer for both military and civil operations.

Truly honored by the trust @Defensagob has placed in @AirbusHeli with this landmark order that aims to boost Spain’s national defence & security capabilities. We are growing our industrial footprint & adding new activities in Albacete in support of this critical contract. 🇪🇸

Under the National Helicopter Plan, Spain's Ministry of Defence is placing orders for 100 Airbus helicopters (H135, H145M, H175M, NH90) to modernise its Armed Forces across all three branches. This strategic investment boosts the modernisation of Spain’s defence and security assets.

Proud to welcome @CivPro_GR minister @gkefalogiannis & Mr Stampoulidis from the 🇬🇷 Growth Fund to Marignane to see the first two H215 Super Puma 🚁 in the final assembly line. We also exchanged with @SecCivileFrance on aerial response capabilities for combatting wildfires.

.@Airbus' UH-72 Pilot Lakota helicopter, which is tailored for search and rescue operations, played a pivotal role in recovery efforts following 2024’s Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. Hear from members of the National Guard rescue crew who depended on the maneuverability of the Airbus helicopter to complete the mission. @AirbusHeli
