The author wrote that exploration had been a major topic at #IAC2026 and said decisions being made now would shape Europe’s role in exploration for decades. They argued that Europe needed to define its own path to remain relevant in the wider space sector. https://t.co/mcwMQEkLAl #Espacio #Exploración #Europa #EU

The author said Sophie had returned safely to Earth after a record-breaking 237-day mission. They said she had completed three spacewalks, set a European endurance record and delivered a substantial amount of scientific work, adding that she had made Europe proud. #Espace #ExplorationSpatiale #RetourSurTerre #EU (translated)

The post said the Copernicus programme was envisioned, built and launched by Europe, and credited the European Space Agency with delivering satellites that enabled it. It added that Sentinel-3C was demonstrating its capabilities. https://t.co/vbrE9orz7Y https://t.co/ZR9vP8SJrN #Copernicus #Satellite #ESAEurope #EU #ESA

The post said ESA and ISRO had begun discussing possible expanded space cooperation at IAC2026, following the signing of an extension to their cooperation agreement a couple of weeks earlier. It said the discussions included human spaceflight and lunar exploration. https://t.co/38A9AOYLzt #Espacio #Cooperación #ExploraciónEspacial #IN

The author thanked NASA for an Artemis II keepsake containing Zinnia elegans and Capsicum annuum seeds, which they said had flown around the Moon. They wrote that zinnias had helped scientists study flowering in microgravity and that peppers were being explored as a future space crop.

The author described the International Space Station as a major example of international cooperation and wrote that Europe was considering options to maintain and strengthen its presence in Low Earth Orbit as it planned the next chapter of human spaceflight. #Espacio #CooperaciónInternacional #ExploraciónEspacial #EU

«Si hubiéramos perdido la antena, habríamos perdido el contacto con nuestras misiones en el espacio, nos hubiese costado miles de millones y cuatro o cinco años de reparaciones»Gracias a aquel gesto y a otros muchos que se sucedieron en las horas y días siguientes, se pudo salvar una infraestructura crítica que «nos conecta con las estrellas», señaló en el evento de agradecimiento organizado por la ESA en la propia estación el director de la agencia, Josef Aschbacher, quien quiso agradecer personalmente la labor de todos los implicados en la extinción de aquel incendio. #incendios #espacio #Cebreros

Excellent intervention by Commissioner @KubiliusEU. Europe has agreed a shared long-term vision for space transportation. Now comes the crucial next step: turning that vision into action. 🤝ESA and the EU are working hand in hand to strengthen European launch capabilities and #SpaceTransportation #EUSpace #ESA #EU #ESA

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming a key capability for the future of space, and @ESA is already demonstrating its value through operational and research projects. Through this strategic cooperation with @MistralAI, we are taking another important step towards #ArtificialIntelligence #SpaceExploration #ESAStrategy #None

Inspiring future generations is a key part of ESA’s mission. Through the #PokemonxESA collaboration, we are taking space exploration beyond traditional settings, hoping to ignite curiosity, spark a sense of wonder about our Universe and encourage people of all ages to discover #SpaceExploration #Inspiration #PokemonxESA #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #theresultis:

🇮🇳As space activities expand beyond Earth orbit and new opportunities emerge in exploration, sustainability and advanced technologies, international cooperation remains essential. @ESA and @isro have built a trusted partnership spanning more than two decades, and this renewed #SpaceExploration #InternationalCooperation #ISRO #IN #EU

ESA has launched the next phase of Low-LEO activities supporting the evolution of IRIS², bringing together nearly 80 companies across Europe to explore the services and capabilities that could shape the next generation of secure connectivity. Together with the @EU_Commission #IRIS2 #LowLEO #SecureConnectivity #EU

The International Space Summit marked an important step in shaping a common European vision for space exploration. Europe has now started a course towards greater autonomy in low Earth orbit, a stronger role in lunar exploration, and a more competitive European space sector, https://t.co/ta19SsyGQe #SpaceExploration #EuropeanSpace #LunarMission #EU

European Commission President @vonderleyen's message at #ParisSpaceSummit was clear: Europe's greatest space achievements have been built together. From Copernicus and Galileo to IRIS², the partnership between the European Commission and ESA shows what Europe can achieve when it https://t.co/1o7bI5xYp8 #SpaceSummit #EuropeanCommission #ESA #EU

Will we be passengers or pilots? Customers or service providers? Tenants or architects? At the International Space Summit, I argued that Europe must take steps now to shape its own future in space.

Last night we brought together astronauts, ministers, industry leaders and space enthusiasts to celebrate the imagination, innovation and cooperation that define Europe's journey in space. From Earth orbit to deep space, we were reminded that today's ambitions become tomorrow's https://t.co/t4ekti6RSe #SpaceExploration #Innovation #EuropeanSpace
