Not only is today Budget day, but it's also the start of the two day ESA Council of Ministers. This event, which happens every 3 years, sees the 23 minsters from ESA Member States who are responsible for space meet, and armed with authorisations from their treasuries, decide on ESA's budgets.

Everyone mentioning Pratchett as a huge inspiration in the comedy talk at #Advx25 was yet another confirmation that #Discworld and Adventures go hand in hand perfectly ❤️

Look at Finland’s free (tax payer paid) sustainable #Library and #Maker space.
Has free study spaces, free #3DPrinters, #music and #recording studios, free games /gamer spaces.
Finland is also ranked #1 in happiest citizenry.

Today is International Biodiversity day!

What does that have to do with rockets?

Some of the satellites we send to space are used to track biodiversity... and our designers like to do cool infographics that compare payloads to animal weight!

You’re whale-come! 🐋
Infographic showing the match between animals and ESA's rockets. To space! But on which rocket? Teams at Mission Control match the needs of ESA missions with the perfect rocket. The choice of rocket depends primarily on the mass of the payload and where it needs to go. The further from Earth a spacecraft needs to be lifted, and the more massive it is, the more fuel that is needed. To the Moon and beyond The minimum velocity required to get beyond Earth’s gravitational sphere of influence is 11.2 km per second, after which point spacecraft engines and planetary flybys are used to reach deep space destinations. The mighty Ariane 64 can accelerate 6900 kg (or a large orca) to this important speed. To geostationary transfer orbit Most communication and weather satellites live about 36 000 km above Earth’s equator in geostationary orbit - from where they appear to hover unmoving above our heads. The Ariane 62 can lift 5000 kg (or an Asian elephant) to the geostationary transfer orbit, and the Ariane 64, 11 500 kg (or a whale shark), from where spacecraft boost themselves into geostationary orbit. Orbiting near Earth Most human-made objects in space reside in low-Earth orbit, from 100 km to 2000 km above Earth’s surface. The nimble Vega-C can carry 2250 kg (or a hippopotamus) to this crowded zone, while the Ariane 62 can lift up to 10 300 kg (or an African elephant) and the mighty Ariane 64 a whopping 21 600 kg (or a small grey whale).
