First commercial data buy of lunar science and resources data by @esa https://t.co/ntMvK6Jnbs

@DoesItMatterMan @BBCNews Black country is a term used frequently since the mid 1800s referring to a region in the UK’s West Midlands. It refers to the blackening of the region due to smoke and soot from industrial fires. https://t.co/bZFgnYcWaz

UK expertise is on the hunt for water on the Moon. 💧🌑

@NASA's Peregrine Lunar Lander is planned for launch on Monday for its journey to the Moon, carrying the Peregrine Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer (PITMS). 🚀

Learn more about UK involvement in PITMS. 👇

What a great #ELS2023 hosted by @UniPadova. The largest ELS yet with over 250 attendees from across the globe. Can you spot yourself in the group photo below? Please RT if you attended #ELS2023 (even if you missed the group photo shoot). Thanks all for making it a success 🙏

@YuqiiQian @AschbacherJosef @PhBaptiste CNES will provide a radon sensor. ESA will provide a mass spectrometer to measure negative ions close to the lunar surface.

[James Carpenter @jamesdcarpenter]

@AuerSusan Definitely more ambitious. Also enabled by such a capability according to recent studies.

@NMK_ZeroG Explain please

Just imagine you could collect solar power, in the order of GWs, and beam it down to the earth's surface. If that works, that would be a game changer for Europe's energy situation, and for humanity - Director General @AschbacherJosef of @esa at the opening of #CM22 on Solaris

@DrPhiltill Yes Phil. All of this.

What a great night seeing @OfficialPL and managed to catch up with this dude @aaronaedy 🤘🏼with @jamesdcarpenter and Beccy

@Monkeybane_DC You will be a truly great super villain

This is an eye opener

[James Carpenter @jamesdcarpenter]

@DrPhiltill @DrPhiltill. Excellent thread. Those with arguments against SBSP in the present context should read the reports. SBSP would deliver an energy product for Europe that is different from other renewables. There is work to be done for sure. But this could make a big difference.

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

Europe did some cost-benefit studies on the potential of space-based solar power. The UK firm Frazer-Nash used an interesting rocket as part of its graphics package.

Space-based Solar Power would be an important step towards carbon neutrality and energy independence for Europe. Two recent independent studies strongly recommend investments to advance the SBSP technologies needed to address our growing energy crisis: https://t.co/aQImYF3fyN

[Josef Aschbacher @AschbacherJosef]

It will be up to Europe, @ESA and its Member States to push the envelope of technology to solve one of the most pressing problems for people on Earth of this generation. Much will be on the table at #CM22.

[Josef Aschbacher @AschbacherJosef]

At #CM22, I will propose a SBSP preparatory programme to Member States called #SOLARIS. We have the main building blocks already, but let me be clear: for the project to succeed, much technology development and funding is still needed. https://t.co/iBbByzJDLB

Space can provide clean and secure energy for Europe.
