15 December 2023: Combined test loading 3 (CTLO3), Kourou, French Guiana. On 15 December, 2023, teams from ArianeGroup, the French Space Agency (Centre National d'Études Spatiales), and the European Space Agency (European Space Agency - ESA) successfully carried out another launch sequence of #Ariane6 on its launch pad at Europe’s #Spaceport, French Guiana, for the combined #test campaign. The combined #test loading (CTLO3) tested a #launch #countdown aimed to qualify the launch system in degraded conditions to ensure its robustness and prepare for operations. It was run the same way as the previous ones, with a launch sequence and final countdown representative of a launch, including removal of the mobile gantry as well as #filling and #draining of the launcher’s upper and core stage #tanks with liquid #hydrogen (-253 °C) and liquid #oxygen (-183 °C). This #test sequence included qualification tests of several launch system functions in case of aborted launch and included one ignition of the #Vulcain 2.1 engine thrust chamber. This was the fifth #countdown run to include loading #Ariane6 with cryo-propellants since July. The #rehearsal was very well executed, and the #countdown ran exactly as planned. The #test was a full success and the task force thanks all teams involved. The launch operations for #Ariane6 are mastered, we are ready to go.
On Friday Centre National d'Études Spatiales, ArianeGroup and European Space Agency - ESA teams had a perfectly executed test for Ariane 6. Thanks to all the teams involved. We have mastered the launch operations of Ariane 6 and we are busy preparing for the inaugural flight! 👉https://lnkd.in/d6sB8KHr

Expertise in Development, Design, Build, Test, and Fly of spacecraft propulsion systems.
This technical standard should be an interesting read. I’m not sure what « Zero Debris » means, because zero isn’t really possible with so much MMOD already present. But whatever the definition, it’s infinitely better than what NASA has done in this regard.

The EU didn't launch anything last night: EUSPA made a post on X similar to this one on LinkedIn, saying that "EU Launched two new Galileo satellites". The two new Galileo satellites were launched by SpaceX from Florida, onboard a Falcon 9 Rocket. Saying that "EU launched" those satellites is a misleading statement, and reflects the intention to not mention SpaceX (which is carefully avoided also in this post). It's a shame, because it’s not SpaceX's fault if Europe is lacking a launcher for those satellites. Several problems in management, competition, foresight, and ambition in the European space sector led the EU in this situation... Acknowledging the launch company which saved the situation, in a very cheap way, is the minimum EU should do. That's also because our money are spent for this. Trying to mislead people writing that "EU Launched" the satellites, or just avoiding mentioning that the launch was performed by a non-EU company, is a proper scam to EU citizens. I rarely comment publicly about those things, given my work at Space Voyaging, but this time I'm doing so as an European Citizen.
🛰🛰Earlier this morning, two new Galileo satellites were launched and reached the Holding Point. They are currently managed by #EUSPA as part of the Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP). 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 space sector, including EUSPA, Spaceopal, the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the German Space Operations Center, Telespazio and the European Space Agency - ESA. Galileo: financed by the EU, developed by ESA, services delivered by EUSPA. This is #EUSpace. European Commission | EU Space

Two New Galileo Satellites Enter the LEOP Phase! 🛰️ At 4:40 CEST this morning, two new Galileo satellites were launched into the orbit. The satellites are now in their critical Launch and Early Orbit Phase (#LEOP). 🇩🇪 🇪🇺 🇮🇹 Over the next few days, teams from DLR GfR mbH and spaceopal GmbH (a joint venture between Telespazio and DLR GfR), in cooperation with EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme and European Space Agency - ESA, will work tirelessly from the Galileo Control Center in Oberpfaffenhofen to monitor and control these newly launched satellites. LEOP is a vital period in a satellite’s journey, involving the careful deployment, initial checkouts, and precise maneuvers to guide the satellites into their intended orbits at an altitude of 23,222 km. This process is one of the most collaborative efforts in European space operations, bringing together multiple entities to guarantee the success of each new addition to the #Galileo constellation. #NavigatingTheFuture #GalileoL13 #EUSpace
As of 2:40 UTC / 4:40 CEST, EUSPA is managing two new Galileo satellites as part of the Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP). The satellites were launched earlier this morning by the European Space Agency - ESA under a contract with SpaceX, and have now reached their breathing point. Over the following days, EUSPA’s GSOp LEOP team will be manoeuvring the satellites from the dedicated Galileo Control Center in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany until they are precisely placed into their home orbit at 23 220 km. Galileo LEOP operations constitute one of the most cooperative activities between numerous European entities in the space sector, including EUSPA, Spaceopal, DLR GfR mbH, GSOC, Telespazio and ESA. By combining forces and talents, we are unlocking the full potential of the European GNSS and the whole EU Space Programme. Galileo: financed by the EU, operated by EUSPA, developed by ESA.
