Last update: 11 hours agoLaunch Watch: Europe’s orbital launches are concentrated at the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou. Its near-equatorial location gives rockets an extra boost for missions to geostationary orbit, while open-water flight paths help keep launches clear of populated areas. New Rocket: Spain’s PLD Space has begun system-level tests of its Miura 5 rocket and built three vehicles, including the first intended to fly. A demonstration launch is planned for the first half of 2027, adding a new contender to the launch market serving Kourou. Earth Observation: ESA’s Earth-observation chief says satellite data is vital for tracking climate and environmental change, while political shifts and the growth of private satellite operators raise questions about access to clear, reliable views of Earth.
