🧭📡 Today, we celebrate 30 years of European satellite navigation, a journey built on innovation, collaboration and excellence.
From the early days of EGNOS to the global reach of Galileo, we take this moment to:
✨ Reminisce about the beginnings
🚀 Relive incredible milestones
👏 Acknowledge every contributor
🤝 Reconnect with old friends
🌍 Meet the faces shaping the future
European satellite navigation wouldn’t be what it is today without the unwavering teamwork of our partners, @EU4Space and @EU_Commission, industry, and our colleagues past and present.
Together, we’ve built something extraordinary. And the journey continues.
🛰️ EGNOS has been upgraded!

The latest flagship of the #EUSpace programme, IRIS² Satellite Constellation, will connect Europeans and the World, securely. 🌐🛰️
At the end of 2024 we reached a significant milestone in making this state-of-the-art connectivity system a reality. ⤵️
After two years of hard work, IRIS² is taking up its rightful place as the third European space programme flagship. 🇪🇺🛰️
Signature of the IRIS² concession contract means:
➡️a great opportunity for our industry
➡️is key for our resilience
➡️is a synonym for European cooperation.
As of 2:40 UTC / 4:40 CEST, EUSPA is managing 2 new Galileo satellites as part of the Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP).
The satellites were launched earlier this morning by @esa under a contract with Space X and have now reached their breathing point.
Ariane 6: Europe’s next big rocket in a nutshell
Set to liftoff next week, Ariane 6 is the newest rocket to launch Europe towards the stars.
Building on all the knowledge, expertise and technology developed over the years, Ariane 6 will be versatile, modular, and European.
El sector espacial es una industria estratégica de futuro, que contribuirá a transformar nuestra economía y a crear mejores oportunidades laborales.
