AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoSpaceport Safety: CNES flight safety engineers describe how Kourou launches are protected by real-time weather checks, millisecond-by-millisecond trajectory tracking, and rapid “neutralisation” decisions if anomalies appear. Ariane 6 / Meteosat MTG-I2: Spectators in Tucán reacted to Ariane 6’s MTG-I2 launch, a new geostationary weather satellite meant to improve monitoring and prevention of storms and other extreme events. Satellite Hardware: Teledyne says MTG-I2’s Flexible Combined Imager carries its CIS111 detector, built for frequent, high-resolution Earth observation and radiation-hardened performance. Inside Kourou: A behind-the-scenes look at how a satellite is readied for orbit, from control-room operations to logistics that keep Ariane 6 moving toward cost and versatility goals. Weather Constellation Impact: MTG-I2 completes the first trio of Meteosat Third Generation satellites, targeting rapid scans every 2.5 minutes and adding lightning detection for earlier warnings. Launcher Competition (ELC): ESA’s European Launcher Challenge awarded first contracts totaling €543.6M to Rocket Factory Augsburg, PLD Space, and Isar Aerospace, pushing European launch capability toward actual orbital launches by 2028. Tech & Connectivity: Kyivstar launched a Travel SIM eSIM for mobile internet roaming, available in French Guiana among other territories.
