9th May marks the date of the Schuman Declaration signing in 1950, laying the foundations for the EU we know today, in which we built the #EUSpace Programme.
In 2024, we celebrate this date a month ahead of the EU Elections, don't forget to #UseYourVote!
🛰28 April: the EU launched 2 new Galileo satellites!
Earlier this morning, the Galileo satellites were ejected from the launcher's upper stage & reached the Holding Point. They are currently managed by #EUSPA as part of the Launch & Early Orbit Phase (LEOP).
What happens now?
Over the following days, the EUSPA LEOP team will be manoeuvring the satellites from the dedicated #Galileo Control Center in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany until they are placed into their home orbit at 23 220 km.
Galileo LEOP operations will constitute one of the most cooperative activities between numerous European entities in the #EUSpace sector, including EUSPA, Spaceopal, @DLR , German Space Operations Center, Telespazio and ESA.
Galileo: financed by the EU, developed by ESA, services delivered by EUSPA. This is #EUSpace! 🧵2/2
Through CASSINI Hackathons, Matchmaking, Challenges and Business Accelerator, #cassiniEU has invested a significant amount of money into a lot of #EUSpace-based companies.
But CASSINI’s impact doesn’t stop with the cash. Discover how these companies have leveraged their CASSINI experience to go on and develop some very cool space-based solutions.

#DYK that the data provided by #Copernicus and #Galileo, 2⃣of the components of the #EUSpace 🇪🇺🛰️Programme, are helping health authorities monitor parameters essential for our well-being?
This includes:
☁️Air and💧Water quality
🌞Solar radiation
and many more!
📢#EUSpace innovators & start-ups: get ready for CASSINI Entrepreneurship Days 2024!
Discover the future of innovations, meet the winners of CASSINI Challenges and explore how space-based solutions are supporting the EU strategic agenda. Join us for 2 days of networking and thoughtful discussions about pioneering developments in the sector.
To celebrate, check out how Copernicus and #EUSpace are taking centre stage in the EU’s fight against deforestation through the outcomes from the Copernicus for Forestry workshop from last week.
RT by @CopernicusEU: The Call for Applications of the #CASSINI Business Accelerator is open
This initiative provides #EUSpace#startups and entrepreneurs with opportunities to grow their business, benefit from coaching sessions & build 🆕 connections
The 15 CASSINI Challenges winning Ideas have been announced!
From enabling sustainable livestock grazing to monitoring urbanisation and helping autonomous vehicles avoid collision – all 15 of the CASSINI Challenges winning ideas have one thing in common: each leverages the power of #EUSpace.
Europe’s 112 emergency number has been answering the call and saving lives for over 30 years relying on #EUSpace-based data and services, like eCall or Advanced Mobile Location (AML) to accurately pinpoint the caller’s location. eCall can cut emergency response times in half, reducing the number of fatalities by 4% and the number of severe injuries by 6 – 10%.
RT by @defis_eu: On 24 January, during the first #EUSpace Networks General Assembly, @LewisPugh delivered an inspiring speech on the importance of data sharing & storytelling to communicate impactful messages on the state of #OurOcean
RT by @defis_eu: Accurate and secure timing info is crucial for strategic sectors. Join us for the hybrid workshop about the upcoming Galileo Timing Service and its implications for Timing & Synchronisation applications.
RT by @defis_eu: At @defis_eu we are committed to supporting our industrial ecosystem to grow, innovate, and capture new 🌍 markets.
With the newly signed ✍️ collaboration agreement between @EIB & @esa to improve access to debt funding for space companies, we deliver on this commitment #EUSpace
RT by @defis_eu: ✍️ contracts with @OHB_SE and @telespazio to conduct a study on the development of a future #EO service for governmental use
Very pleased to secure the support of 🇪🇺 space companies of all sizes to pave the way to unlock the #EUSpace programme potential for security and defence
