Sharing news on Europe's human and robotic exploration, from astronaut training to the next giant leap to the Moon and Mars.
- Space never sleeps—and neither does mission control 🌍🚀 At @esa's Columbus Control Centre, teams work 24/7 to support astronauts like @Soph_astro during their missions and keep science running smoothly on board the International @Space_Station. 🎧 Go behind the scenes and hear
00:00 - #ICYMI: @esa astronaut Luca Parmitano is piloting Artemis III 🥳 👨🚀 @astro_luca will use our European Service Module engines to carefully manoeuvre Orion, testing docking capabilities for future lunar landing missions 🌙 With 366 days in orbit, 30 hours spacewalking & 2000 flying
- The hunt for water on the Moon is 🔛 @esa's Prospect package will drill beneath the lunar South Pole in search of water ice and oxygen to fuel future exploration. Launch is set for 2027 🚀 👀 Curious about the mission? Meet Prospect at #ILA2026 or at esa.int/prospect
00:00 - Replying to @esaspaceflight @astro_luca and 3 others🚀 Our first two European Service Modules powered the Artemis I and Artemis II missions - now our third European Service Module will propel again the next flight, its engines used by Artemis III pilot @astro_luca to test the technologies we need to go back to the Moon 👨🚀🌙
