Open Cosmos has been awarded a contract by the European Space Agency - ESA to deliver three cubesats for the NanoMagSat mission. Read full story: https://lnkd.in/gJEz8jRj --- #ContractWins #Europe

#Ariane6 is already in space. A historic day for all of us who collaborate with European Space Agency - ESA What a privilege to be able to live this experience! Simply indescribable. Speachless. I hope you enjoy (as I have done) the in situ (ESA/ESTEC) self-filmed video. The sky is definitely not the limit... today I can confidently say, limits do not exist - they are just created. #Ariane6 carries several small satellites (nanosatellites or cubesats, the size of a shoebox), deployment devices and experiments from space agencies, companies, research institutes, universities and young professionals. #Innovation #SkyIsNotTheLimit #SpaceIndustry

European Space Agency - ESA Funds €34.6M for Open Cosmos' NanoMagSat Mission to Study Earth's Magnetic Field The European Space Agency - ESA has awarded €34.6 million to Open Cosmos for its NanoMagSat mission, which will launch three satellites to study Earth's magnetic field and ionosphere starting in 2026. These satellites will operate at 545 km altitude, equipped with advanced magnetometers and other instruments to collect data on space weather, impacting communications and navigation systems globally. The mission is part of ESA’s Scout initiative, promoting innovative space exploration technologies. Read more here. https://lnkd.in/gHjp7HVK

OPS-SAT might be one of the European Space Agency - ESA's most unusual missions. The satellite hosts an experimental computer that is ten times more powerful than traditional ESA on-board computers - as the main payload! It was also the first CubeSat operated directly by ESA Operations, Engineering & Space Safety. The on-board computer provides an experimental platform to run software experiments on board - which can be provided by anybody around the world! People got really creative and ran amazing experiments making OPS-SAT the first satellite ... - ... to implement the CFDP (CCSDS File Delivery Protocol) operationally - ... to host the first in-orbit neural network deployment for onboard AI. - ... to host an in-orbit game of chess (against humanity on ground) - ... to run DOOM in space 🎮💀   OPS-SAT has been launched together with CHEOPS on 18 December 2019. Unfortunately, its orbit is degrading and without any fuel or thrusters the mission is 'doomed' to burn up in the athmosphere towards the end of May 🥁 You can find my bulding instructions for OPS-SAT for free using this link: https://lnkd.in/eguJ-Jp4

Through separate collaborations with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the University of Tokyo, Hitachi has verified the principle behind basic technology to observe radio waves from all directions and localize their sources. By applying this technology to artificial satellites, the aim is to improve the precision of space situational awareness (SSA) and solve problems faced by customers involved in space exploration activities, such as preventing collisions with other satellites.

According to SpaceNews, the company said yesterday that Haven-1, a single-module station scheduled to launch next year, will have 10 middeck lockers for experiments. Vast is working with Redwire Space and Yuri, a European space biotech company, on the Haven-1 Lab, with those companies providing experiment facilities for it based on what has flown on the ISS. The lab will provide the ability to do research that can't be accommodated on the ISS or which would run into regulatory or other obstacles there, and will inform Vast's planning for a future larger station. Each of the 10 slots can host payloads weighing up to 30 kilograms and using up to 100 watts of power. While the payloads will launch with the station, the company said users will have the ability to return samples or products from them on visiting Dragon spacecraft. https://lnkd.in/e282sW_y

#Ariane6🚀 is set to launch on July 9, 2024, within a launch window from 15:00 to 19:00 local time at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana (19:00–23:00 BST, 9 July 20:00–10 July 00:00 CEST). This milestone marks a significant moment for European Space Agency - ESA, securing our autonomous access to space. This achievement opens doors to advancements in space exploration, earth observation, technology development, and commercial opportunities. #SpaceToday #Ariane6 #ESA #SpaceLaunch #EuropeanSpaceAgency #SpaceExploration #ScienceAndTechnology #EarthObservation #CommercialSpace #ArianeGroup #ArianeSpace #SpaceIndustry

In the continuously developing world of space technology, the ability to quickly test and validate new concepts in orbit is a game-changer 🌌 The OPS-SAT-1 mission, led by the European Space Agency - ESA, offers a groundbreaking platform for in-orbit experimentation, allowing engineers to push the boundaries of what’s possible. But, balancing flexibility and precision in such a high-stakes environment is no small feat. ✅ Through our Experiment Infrastructure Engineering Service (OSEI), we empowered successful in-orbit experimentation for the OPS-SAT-1 mission. Our engineer Tim played a key role, working hands-on to ensure every experiment was executed flawlessly, merging innovative ideas with precise execution.
