🔋🚨 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪: The ball for the 2026 World Cup needs to be plugged in and charged before kick off.
• The balls have a sensor that tracks its precise location every time that it's touched.
• For the 2022 World Cup, the sensor hanged in wires inside the ball, but now it's part of one of the balls panels.
• The data is paired with 12 cameras around the stadiums to track the precise location of the ball and every player 50 times every second.
• This data is transmitted live to VAR, and will be used to determine goal line technology and offsides.
• The sensor is extremely lightweight, unnoticeable for the players, and the battery lasts for up to 6 hours.
Check out the highlights from today’s visit from @takaichi_sanae and @EmmanuelMacron to our HQ!
Advancing secure and sustainable space, together! 🇫🇷 🇯🇵
A historic day for Astroscale! 🇫🇷🛰️🇯🇵
@Astroscale_FR and @exotrail signed a contract to develop a satellite deorbiting mission by 2030
Announced during the visit of @EmmanuelMacron and @takaichi_sanae to our Tokyo HQ — a powerful signal of the role of commercial companies in addressing on-orbit servicing needs while strengthening national capabilities.

@_louisereddy great interview tonight in Channel 4. You provided a very clear summary of the issue about the sewage caused by the water companies. Thank you!
Astroscale has selected @isaraerospace to launch the ELSA-M In-Orbit Demonstration mission – a key step toward routine, scalable in-orbit servicing. 🚀
ELSA-M builds on our rendezvous and proximity operations expertise to enable safe removal of an end-of-life satellite.
The ELSA-M mission is supported by the @spacegovuk through the through the @esa ’s programme of Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES) as part of the Sunrise Partnership Project, a public-private partnership with @EutelsatGroup.
