Last update: 8 hours agoSpaceport Safety in Focus: CNES flight safety engineers explain how Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana manages launch risk with real-time weather checks, millisecond-by-millisecond trajectory tracking, and rapid “neutralisation” decisions to protect people and staff. Weather Satellite Boost for the Region: Teledyne’s CIS111 detector is flying on Meteosat Third Generation Imager-2 (MTG-I2), launched from Kourou on Ariane 6, aiming for faster, sharper monitoring for severe storms, hail, and lightning. Kourou Launch Operations: A behind-the-scenes look at how Ariane 6 hardware is built, shipped to Guiana, and integrated for missions like MTG-I2. European Launch Market Moves: ESA’s European Launcher Challenge hands out €543.6M across Isar Aerospace, PLD Space, and Rocket Factory Augsburg, pushing new European rockets toward orbit by 2028. Agriculture Tech from Space: FLEX satellite integration at Kourou targets measuring real photosynthesis activity to spot drought stress earlier than standard “greenness” sensors.
