And hello brave new world 🌌

SAT 33 and SAT 34 Galileo satellites are now experiencing what space feels like for the first time, as Ariane 6's fairing was released.

The upper and core stages of the rocket remain connected to the satellites as the rocket keeps moving forward.

Now, nearing the drop-off point, the Ariane 6 upper stage will fire its Vinci engine for the second and final time on this mission – a shorter boost lasting just under two minutes.

And it's bye bye Galileo ✌️

With a gentle push, Ariane 6 released the Galileo satellites to orbit, where they will provide 24/7 navigation to billions of users.

We are now waiting for launch success confirmation.

Hace diez años, el mundo tenía 1,04°C de calentamiento respecto a la era preindustrial y los modelos preveían alcanzar los 1,5°C en 2042.

Con los datos de septiembre de 2025 -el planeta ya está en 1,4°C- se superará el umbral de 1,5°C en 2029.

Un adelanto de 13 años.

A melhor coisa da #F1 deste fim de semana: ver a Hanna Schmitz a segurar o troféu. Eu lembro-me de ver as corridas nos anos 80, onde o "ideal" para uma mulher seria estar a dar flores no pódio. Eu vejo corridas agora, onde está esta mulher.
O impacto que isto tem nas meninas de hoje é brutal.
